The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made an agreement with the people of Khaibar to work and cultivate in return for half of the fruits or produce.  

أبو داود:٣٤٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَامَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ  

abudawud:3409Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > al-Layth > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman / Ibn Ghanaj > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ handed over the Jews of Khaibar the palm trees and the land of Khaibar on condition that they should employ what belonged to them in working on them, and that he should have half of the fruits.  

أبو داود:٣٤٠٩حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَنَجٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَفَعَ إِلَى يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ نَخْلَ خَيْبَرَ وَأَرْضَهَا عَلَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِلُوهَا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَطْرَ ثَمَرَتِهَا  

abudawud:3410Ayyūb b. Muḥammad al-Raqqī > ʿUmar b. Ayyūb > Jaʿfar b. Burqān > Maymūn b. Mihrān > Miqsam > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaibar, and stipulated that all the land, gold and silver would belong to him. The people of Khaibar said: we know the land more than you ; so give it to us on condition that you should have half of the produce and we would have the half. He then gave it to them on that condition. When the time of picking the fruits of the palm-trees came, he sent 'Abd Allah b. Rawahah to them, and he assessed the among of the fruits of the palm-trees. This is what the people of Medina call khars (assessment). He used to say: In these palm-trees there is such-and-such amount (of produce). They would say: You assessed more to us, Ibn Rawahah (than the real amount). He would say: I first take the responsibility of assessing the fruits of the palm-trees and give you half of (the amount) I said. They would say: This is true, and on this (equity) stand the heavens and the earth. We agreed that we should take (the amount which) you said.  

أبو داود:٣٤١٠حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

افْتَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ وَاشْتَرَطَ أَنَّ لَهُ الأَرْضَ وَكُلَّ صَفْرَاءَ وَبَيْضَاءَ قَالَ أَهْلُ خَيْبَرَ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِالأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ فَأَعْطِنَاهَا عَلَى أَنَّ لَكُمْ نِصْفَ الثَّمَرَةِ وَلَنَا نِصْفٌ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ حِينَ يُصْرَمُ النَّخْلُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَحَزَرَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّخْلَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُسَمِّيهِ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ الْخَرْصَ فَقَالَ فِي ذِهْ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالُوا أَكْثَرْتَ عَلَيْنَا يَا ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَالَ فَأَنَا أَلِي حَزْرَ النَّخْلِ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ نِصْفَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ قَالُوا هَذَا الْحَقُّ وَبِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالأَرْضُ قَدْ رَضِينَا أَنْ نَأْخُذَهُ بِالَّذِي قُلْتَ  

abudawud:3411Muḥammad b. Sahl al-Ramlī > Zayd b. Abū al-Zarqāʾ > Jaʿfar b. Burqān Biʾisnādih And Maʿnāh > Faḥazar

He said: He assessed, and after the words of kull safara' wa baida', he said: that is, gold and silver will belong to him.  

أبو داود:٣٤١١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ فَحَزَرَ

وَقَالَ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ وَكُلَّ صَفْرَاءَ وَبَيْضَاءَ يَعْنِي الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ لَهُ  

abudawud:3412Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-Anbārī > Kathīr / Ibn Hishām > Jaʿfar b. Burqān > Maymūn > Miqsam

When the Prophet ﷺ conquered Khaibar. He then narrated it like the tradition of Zaid (b. Abu al-Zarqa'). This version has: He then assessed the produce of the palm-trees and said: I take the job of picking the fruit myself, and I shall give you half of (the amount) I said.  

أبو داود:٣٤١٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِشَامٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مَيْمُونٌ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ فَحَزَرَ النَّخْلَ وَقَالَ فَأَنَا أَلِي جُذَاذَ النَّخْلِ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ نِصْفَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ
