Book: Dalail an-Nubuwwah by Bayhaqi

Chapter on the Events Following the Conquest: Regarding the Hidden Treasure, the Selection of Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the Division of Spoils, and Zakat Distribution

In the book of Sunan, what we referred to has passed on the subject, providing confirmation of Allah's promise, the Prophet's truthfulness, and Allah's Messenger, peace be upon him, in informing his nation of the conquest of Khaybar. It includes the expulsion conducted by Umar ibn al-Khattab and the details of the epidemic that afflicted them.

Reported by Anas: The Prophet's Morning Prayer in Ghazwa al-Khaybar

Anas reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed the morning prayer at Ghazwa al-Khaybar. Then, upon mounting his ride, he proclaimed, "Allahu Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we march onto people's plains, it is woeful for the warners in the early morning. They were seen darting around the streets, saying, 'Muhammad and the army!' The term 'army' means 'victorious force.' The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, appeared among them, leading to combat fatalities, captives, and Safiyyah bint Huyayy becoming the wife first of Dihyah al-Kalbi and then of the Prophet. He wed her and made her dower her own manumission.

Abdul Aziz asked Thabit, "O Abu Muhammad, you inquired of Anas about her attire?" He answered: "She herself adorned herself and smiled."

This narration is found in Sahih al-Bukhari in the Book of Prayer under the chapter discussing the thigh.

Hadith Narration on Seeking Protection

This hadith was narrated by Muslim from Abu al-Rabee', from Hammad. Abu Abdullah al-Hafidh reported to us, saying: Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Sahani told us, saying: Abd al-Ghaffar ibn Dawud al-Harrani reported to us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Abd al-Rahman narrated to us. Abu al-Hasan ibn Abdan told us, saying: Ahmed ibn Ubayd al-Saffar reported to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Salih al-Shirazi narrated to us, saying: Saeed narrated to us. Abu al-Qasim Zaid ibn Abi Hashim al-Alawi from Kufa informed us, saying: Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Duhaym reported to us, saying: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Husayn narrated to us, saying: Saeed ibn Mansur informed us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Abd al-Rahman narrated to me from Amr ibn Abi Amr, from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Abu Talha when he intended to go to Khaybar, "Seek a boy from among your boys to serve me." Abu Talha took me out when I was a boy approaching puberty. Whenever I stayed, I heard him say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debt and the domination of men.' When Allah opened Khaybar, beauty was mentioned to him, Safiyya bint Huyayy was presented, and her husband was killed. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, chose her for himself. When we were at As-Sudais, her menses were over, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, camped with her in a tent. He screened her with a cloak, and they engaged in conversation while he used to sit beside his camel and put his knee for her to put her foot on, in order to mount the camel. When he saw Madinah from a distance, he said, 'This is Ta'baan, so let us love it and be loved by it.' As he approached Madinah, he said, 'O Allah! Ibrahim made Makkah holy, and I make Madinah holy. O Allah! Bless their measures and make their food abundant.' This is the wording of the hadith reported by Saeed ibn Mansur.

Hadith about the Treaty of Hudaibiya

Reported by Al-Bukhari in Al-Sahih from Abd al-Ghaffar ibn Dawud. Also reported by Muslim from Saeed, who narrated from various sources that Anas said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed between Khaybar and Medina for three nights, where a feast was held with only dates, dry bread, and clarified butter. The Muslims remarked that one of the mothers of the believers or a maid was serving, then debated whether to veil her or not - concluding they would if the Prophet gave the order. However, as he departed, he walked behind her and helped her extend a curtain between her and the people.

Further Details on the Battle of Khaybar

Al-Bukhari narrates in Al-Sahih from Saeed ibn Abi Maryam, who relates that Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad al-Muqri' al-Isfara'ini informed us, through various narrators, that Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) fought the people of Khaybar until they retreated into their fortress. He prevailed over their lands and palm trees, reaching a treaty for them to evacuate the area while keeping what their camels could carry. The Prophet claimed as spoils the yellow, white, and striped horses.

Preservation of Covenant and Unity in the Islamic Community

Upon their departure, a condition was imposed on them not to conceal or withhold anything. If they did, they would bear no responsibility. When some items went missing, including property and jewelry belonging to Huwayy ibn Akhtab, it was taken to the Prophet Muhammad in Khaybar. The Prophet inquired about the missing items, and when they were explained to be lost, he directed them to be paid from the treasury. Before this incident, Huwayy had mentioned seeing perfume in a certain ruin which the Prophet’s companions discovered. The Prophet’s response was to kill the sons of Abu Huqayq, one of whom was married to Safiyya bint Huwayy ibn Akhtab. The Prophet took their women and children as captives, distributed their wealth according to their treachery, and intended to expel them from the land. Their proposal to stay and cultivate the land, offering half of their produce to the Prophet, led to a resolution.

The Kindness of Abdullah ibn Rawaha

Abdullah ibn Rawaha visited them annually, overseeing their share from the crops and palm trees. They complained to the Prophet about this practice and sought permission to bribe him. The Prophet rejected their offer, citing his love for them and their animosity towards him. He refused to be unjust in return for their emotional manipulation. The Prophet’s integrity and refusal to compromise on justice left a lasting impact on the community, ensuring respect and fairness.

The Dream of Safiyya bint Huwayy ibn Akhtab

In a dream where Safiyya saw a greenery, which was interpreted by the Prophet to symbolize his eventual control over Yathrib, now known as Medina. Safiyya shared her feelings of anger towards the Prophet due to the deaths of her husband and father, but the Prophet continuously apologized, attributing their actions to animosity fueled by tribal influences. The Prophet’s graciousness extended to all his wives, granting each eighty sa of dates every year.

Division of Spoils from the Conquest of Khaybar

During the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab, some Muslims were deceived and Ibn Umar was thrown from the top of a house by the hypocrites, resulting in injuries to his hands. Umar ibn al-Khattab called upon those who had a share in the spoils of Khaybar to gather so that it could be distributed among them. He divided the spoils and reminded their leader not to expel them, as they wanted to remain in Khaybar as per the example set by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr. However, Umar questioned the leader about his dismissal of the Prophet's words regarding Khaybar.

Account of the Conquests

The Muslims then besieged the Jews of Khaybar with a strict siege. Upon seeing this, the Jews asked the Prophet for protection over their lives, property, and the yields of Khaybar. Umar made sure that those who had witnessed the conquest of Khaybar from the people of Hudaybiyyah were given their share of the spoils.

Battle of Khaybar

Abdullah bin Umar faced harm when he went to claim his share of the spoils in Khaybar, highlighting the growing tension. Umar reiterated the Prophet's words about facing opposition when leaving Khaybar, likening it to the Jews harassing mounted travelers heading towards Sham. Despite the disagreements, Umar ultimately compensated the dissenters for their rights in fruits, livestock, possessions, and accessories.

Translation of a Classical Arabic Passage

He mounted her on the back of the animal, covering her face and body with it, and then tightened the end of his garment beneath her. They set off with this arrangement during the journey, knowing that she was in the position of his wife. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived, he lifted her onto the mount. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, hesitated to place her foot on his thigh, so she placed her knee on his thigh and then mounted. Abu Ayyub spent the night he entered with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, standing near his tent, holding the sword handle until morning. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, emerged in the morning, Abu Ayyub loudly declared his presence, reminding him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked, "What is the matter, Abu Ayyub?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not sleep this night, fearing for your safety." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, inquired further, and Abu Ayyub explained his concerns about a woman's presence endangering him, to which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, responded kindly. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entrusted the property of the Jews of Khaybar to them under the condition that they cultivate it and keep half of the yield.

Musa ibn Uqba mentioned this story in the campaigns, with a slight variation in the account of the hidden treasure. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked Kinana ibn al-Rabi about it, and along with Kinana, Huwayy ibn al-Rabi was also questioned. They both stated that they had spent it in the war and nothing remained. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, accepted their word and granted them protection, reminding them of their pledge. Then, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam was instructed to torture Kinana, fearing betrayal, but Kinana remained silent. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, later inquired about the treasure from a servant boy named Tha'alaba, who informed them that Kinana often visited a certain ruin. Upon inspecting the ruin, they indeed found the hidden treasure. The treasure was retrieved, and the story of Safiyyah is also mentioned.

Translation of Classical Arabic Text

Abu Al-Husayn ibn Al-Fadl informed us, saying: Abu Bakr ibn Attab told us, saying: Al-Qasim al-Jawhari narrated to us, saying: Ibn Abi Uwais informed us, saying: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim ibn 'Uqbah narrated from his uncle Musa ibn 'Uqbah the story. Musa said, "Nafi' informed me that Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: When Khaibar was conquered, the Jews asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to allow them to farm it on the condition that they would work on half of the produce that came out of it. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied, 'We will allow you to do as you wish.' They continued in this manner until Umar expelled them."

Abu 'Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, saying: Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq Al-Isfara'ini narrated to us, saying: Musa ibn Harun informed us, saying: Al-Mirar ibn Hammuyah Al-Hamadhani narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Yahya Al-Kinani from Malik, from Nafi', that Ibn 'Umar said: When I was invited to Khaibar, Umar stood up to address the people, saying, 'The Messenger of Allah used to tax the Jews of Khaibar for their wealth, saying, 'We will impose on you as Allah has made it easy for you.' Abdullah ibn 'Umar went to his property there, and he was bewitched at night, and his hands were paralyzed. There was no one there to be accused other than them, and they were suspecting us. I saw them being expelled. When everyone agreed to this, one of the Banu Al-Huqaiq came and said, 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, you are expelling us even though Muhammad commanded us and we worked on the wealth. What about our conditions?' Umar replied, 'Did you forget the saying of the Messenger of Allah, that when you are expelled from Khaibar, your camels will pass by you at night after night?' So he expelled them and gave them their wealth in dates, livestock, and goods.'

Hadith on the Division of Spoils of War

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) distributed the spoils of war from the conquest of Khaybar. He divided it into thirty-six sections, with each section consisting of one hundred shares. Half of the spoils was assigned to the Prophet and the Muslims, while the remaining half was set aside for those who participated in delegations and other matters.

Furthermore, when Allah granted him the conquest of Khaybar, the Prophet divided it into thirty-six shares, giving eighteen shares to the Muslims. Each share equaled one hundred shares. The Prophet retained eighteen shares for himself, which were designated for emergencies, unforeseen events, and public matters affecting the Muslims.

Among the regions conquered were Watiha, Kutayba, Salalim, and their surroundings. As the wealth came under the possession of the Prophet and the Muslims, there were no workers to manage it. Consequently, the Prophet summoned the Jews and engaged them in handling the wealth.

Explanation of the Distribution of Spoils in Khaibar

I said: Some forts of Khaibar were conquered by force, and some through peace settlements. The Prophet (peace be upon him) divided what was conquered by force among the fighters and those who took part in the battle, and he excluded what was conquered through peace settlements due to its flaws and what was needed for the interests of the Muslims. And Allah knows best.

Transmission of the Account

Abu Al-Husayn Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Dawud Al-Alwi (may Allah have mercy on him) informed us that Abu Hamid Ash-Sharafi narrated from Abu Azhar from his root, who narrated from Abdul Razzaq, who narrated from Ma'mar, from Ubaydullah ibn Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar:

On the day Khaibar was shared by the Prophet (peace be upon him), it contained fields and palm trees. Every year, he would divide for his wives a hundred Sa' of dates and twenty Sa' of barley for each woman. Abu Hamid said: This is the narration we received from Muhammad ibn Yahya, and he did not mention Ibn Umar in it.

Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated from Ahmed ibn Abdul Jabbar, who narrated from Yunus ibn Bukayr, from Ibn Ishaq, who narrated from a grandson of Muhammad ibn Muslimah:

The spoils of Khaibar were distributed among the people of Shaqq, Nata'at, and Kutaybah. Shaqq and Nata'at belonged to the Muslims, while Kutaybah constituted a fifth for Allah, a share for the Messenger, a share for the relatives, orphans, and the poor, and food for the Prophet's wives. The distribution was also among those who took part in the peace settlement between the Messenger of Allah and the people of Fidak, such as Muheisa ibn Mas'ud, who received thirty Sa' of barley and thirty Sa' of dates. Khaibar was shared among the people of Hudaibiyyah, those who witnessed the conquest, and those who were absent from it, except Jaber ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari. The Prophet (peace be upon him) allotted him a share as if he was present during the conquest.

Allocation of the Spoils of War in the Battle of Khaybar

In the Battle of Khaybar, the spoils were divided among the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The shares were distributed as follows:

• Nawata received 5 shares.
• Al-Shaqq received 18 shares.

The shares were divided into 1800 portions. The companions who received these shares included:

• 1400 men
• 200 horses, with each horse receiving 2 shares

Each individual received one share, and for every 100 shares, a leader was appointed with a group of 100 men under them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allocated one-fifth of the spoils to the Kutaybah tribe.

The Distribution of Shares

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) distributed shares to his kinsmen, women, and certain Muslim men. He then mentioned their names.

The narration of the distribution was passed down through the following chain of narrators:

• Ya'qub ibn Sufyan
• Ahmad ibn Amr ibn al-Sarh

Prophet Muhammad's Division of Booty at the Battle of Khaybar

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) divided two shares of spoils for every two hundred horses at the Battle of Khaybar.

It was narrated that on that day, there were one hundred horses present, and each was allocated two shares.

Additionally, it is reported that on that day there were 1,400 men and 200 horses. The Prophet divided two shares for each horse and one share for its rider.

Lastly, in the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet distributed two shares for the horse and one share for its rider during the distribution of the spoils of war.

These accounts are compiled from various narrators, including Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and Islamic scholars like al-Bukhari.

This is the authentic account well-known among the people of expeditions. Abu Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad Al-Rudhbari informed us, saying:

Abu Bakr - Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, saying:

Abu Dawud Al-Sijistani informed us, saying:

I heard my father Ya’qub ibn Mujammir mentioning from his uncle Abdur-Rahman ibn Yazid Al-Ansari, from his uncle Mujammir ibn Jariyah Al-Ansari, saying:

One of the Qur'anic readers who read the Quran told us: "We accompanied the Prophet (peace be upon him) at Hudaybiyyah. When we departed, we found people shaking their spears. Some said to others, 'What's wrong with the people?' They said, 'Revelation has come to the Prophet.' So we hastened to see the Prophet, and found him standing beside his camel at the edge of Ghameem. When people gathered around him, he recited: 'Indeed, We have given you a clear conquest.’ A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it really a conquest?' He replied, 'Yes, by Him in whose hand the soul of Muhammad is, it is indeed a conquest.' Khaybar was then divided among the people of Hudaybiyyah. The Messenger of Allah distributed it among eighteen shares. The army consisted of 1,500 men, including three hundred horsemen. He gave two shares to the horsemen and one share to the foot soldiers."

On the authority of Ubaidullah ibn Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, in Book 64 of the Sagas, Chapter 38: The Battle of Khaybar.

As for the chain of transmission mentioned by the author, including Salim ibn Akhdar Al-Basri, from Ubaidullah ibn Umar, from Nafi', from Abu Umar, it was reported by Muslim in Book 32 of Jihad and Expeditions, Chapter 17: How to distribute spoils among those present, Hadith 57, and Tirmidhi also reported it in the Sagas, stating: “Good, Authentic.”

Have you considered our brothers from the Banu Muttalib; you gave to them and left us, while both they and we are at the same rank to you.

The people hastened to pick them, but they complained to him about that. So he ordered them to pour water in the pots, then to pour it between the two calls to Fajr prayer while mentioning the name of Allah. Consequently, they did so, and it was as if they woke up from drunkenness.

This narration has also been reported from Abdur Rahman ibn Rafi, connected to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and it was narrated from him between the prayers of Maghrib and Isha.

Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us, saying: Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us, saying: Abu Dawud told us, saying: Ahmed ibn Hanbal informed us, saying: Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal narrated from Muhammad ibn Zaid, who narrated from Umair, a client of Abu Al-Lahm, saying: "I witnessed the Battle of Khaybar with my masters. They discussed the Prophet, peace be upon him, in my presence. He instructed me to provide a sword, and when I unsheathed it, it was announced that I was a slave. So, he ordered some of my share of the spoils, which included household items."

Along the way, she underwent a miscarriage. I informed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, who said to me: 'Soak a piece of cloth in water and date-palm and give her to drink from it.' I did as he instructed, and she did not dislike anything in it.

When we conquered Khaybar, the women were entrusted to us, and it was not permissible to harm them. I liberated my wife and the child that was born." 'Abdus-Salam said: "I do not know whether it was a boy or a girl."
