٥٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجِزْيَةِ
When the people of Khaibar dislocated ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar's hands and feet, ʿUmar got up delivering a sermon saying, "No doubt, Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a contract with the Jews concerning their properties, and said to them, 'We allow you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.' Now ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except those Jews, they are our enemies and the only people whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to exile them." When ʿUmar decided to carry out his decision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq's came and addressed ʿUmar, "O chief of the believers, will you exile us although Muhammad allowed us to stay at our places, and made a contract with us about our properties, and accepted the condition of our residence in our land?" ʿUmar said, "Do you think that I have forgotten the statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, i.e.: What will your condition be when you are expelled from Khaibar and your camel will be carrying you night after night?" The Jew replied, "That was joke from Abul-Qasim." ʿUmar said, "O the enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie." ʿUmar then drove them out and paid them the price of their properties in the form of fruits, money, camel saddles and ropes, etc." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2730)
لَمَّا فُدِعْتُ بِخَيْبَرَ قَامَ عُمَرُ ؓ خَطِيبًا فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَلَ يَهُودَ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهَا وَقَالَ نُقِرُّكُمْ مَا أَقَرَّكُمُ اللهُ وَإِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَالِهِ هُنَاكَ فَعُدِيَ عَلَيْهِ فِي اللَّيْلِ فَفُدِعَتْ يَدَاهُ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا عَدُوٌّ هُنَاكَ غَيْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ تُهْمَتُنَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ إِجْلَاءَهُمْ فَلَمَّا أَجْمَعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَحَدُ بَنِي أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُخْرِجُنَا وَقَدْ أَقَرَّنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَعَامَلَنَا عَلَى الْأَمْوَالِ وَشَرَطَ ذَلِكَ لَنَا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي نَسِيتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ بِكَ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ تَعْدُو بِكَ قَلُوصُكَ لَيْلَةً بَعْدَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَجْلَاهُمْ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ قِيمَةَ مَالِهِمْ مِنَ الثَّمَرِ مَالًا وَإِبِلًا وَعُرُوضًا مِنْ أَقْتَابٍ وَحِبَالٍ وَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ
ʿUmar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle, and the Muslims. Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Messenger of Allah ﷺ told them, "We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there until ʿUmar forced them to go towards Taima' and Ariha'. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2338)
أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ أَجْلَى الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا ظَهَرَ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ أَرَادَ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْهَا وَكَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ إِذْ أَظْهَرَ عَلَيْهَا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَسَأَلَ الْيَهُودُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِرَّهُمْ بِهَا عَلَى أَنْ يَكُفُّوا الْعَمَلَ وَلَهُمْ نِصْفُ الثَّمَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُقِرُّكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا شِئْنَا فَأُقِرُّوا بِهَا وَأَجْلَاهُمْ عُمَرُ ؓ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ إِلَى تَيْمَاءَ وَأَرِيحَا
[Machine] The pain of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intensified, so he said, "Bring me something to write on, and I will write a book for you so that you will never go astray after it, and there will be no dispute in the presence of a prophet." They said, "Leave him, for what he is in is better than what you invite him to." He then gave them three commandments, saying, "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, treat the delegation in a manner similar to my treatment, and I forgot the third one."
اشْتَدَّ وَجَعُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالَ ذَرُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوٍ مِمَّا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ وَالثَّالِثَةَ نُسِّيتُهَا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I live, I shall certainly expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, until I leave only Muslims there.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 219)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَئِنْ عِشْتُ لَأُخْرِجَنَّ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى لَا أَتْرُكَ فِيهَا إِلَّا مُسْلِمًا
[Machine] The last thing the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , spoke, he said, "Expel the Jews of the Hijaz and the people of Najran from the Arabian Peninsula, and know that the worst of people are those who took their graves as places of worship."
آخِرُ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَخْرِجُوا يَهُودَ الْحِجَازِ وَأَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَهُمْ مَسَاجِدَ
[Machine] From the last words spoken by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was "May Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they have taken the graves of their prophets as places of worship, and there will not remain any religion in the land of the Arab."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ دِينَانِ بِأَرْضِ الْعَرَبِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula." Malik ibn Dinar said, Ibn Shihab examined this matter until Umar ibn al-Khattab [may Allah be pleased with him] received confirmation from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Two religions cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula," so he expelled the Jews from Khaybar. Malik said, Umar ibn al-Khattab expelled the Jews from Najran as well.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ دِينَانِ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَفَحَصَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الثَّلَجُ وَالْيَقِينُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ دِينَانِ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ فَأَجْلَى يَهُودَ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَدْ أَجْلَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَهُودَ نَجْرَانَ وَفَدَكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There cannot be two qiblas (direction of prayer) in one land." It was narrated to us by Abu Kudayna from Qabous ibn Abi Zibyan through his Isnad (chain of narrators) that two qiblas cannot exist in the Arabian Peninsula. The Sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ expelled the Jews of Banu Nadir, then the Jews of Madinah, and this was narrated to us in a hadith by Ibn Jurayj from Musa ibn Uqbah from Nafi' from Ibn Umar."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَكُونُ قِبْلَتَانِ فِي بَلَدٍ وَاحِدٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي كُدَيْنَةَ عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ قِبْلَتَانِ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ أَجْلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَهُودَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ ثُمَّ يَهُودَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَرُوِّينَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ
[Machine] The Jews of Banu Nadir and Quraiza fought against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ banished Banu Nadir and made an agreement with Quraiza. The narration mentions that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also banished all the Jews from the city, including Banu Qaynuqa, who were the people of Abdullah ibn Salam, and Banu Haritha. Every Jew who was in the city, as well as the Jews, Christians, and other disbelievers, were not allowed to stay in the city for more than three days, according to the covenant of Umar. I am not sure whether this was implemented with them or not.
يَهُودَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقُرَيْظَةَ حَارَبُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَجْلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَأَقَرَّ قُرَيْظَةَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَأَجْلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَهُودَ الْمَدِينَةِ كُلَّهُمْ بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ وَهُمْ قَوْمُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ وَبَنِي حَارِثَةَ وَكُلَّ يَهُودِيٍّ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى وَمَنْ سِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ لَا يُقَرُّونَ فِيهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ عُمَرَ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَكَانَ يُفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِهِمْ أَمْ لَا
Abu Hurairah said, While we were in the mosque, the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ came out and said “Come on to the Jews. So we went out with him and came to them”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ stood up, called them and said “If you, the community of Jews accept Islam you will be safe”. They said “You have given the message Abu Al Qasim”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Accept Islam you will be safe”. They said “You have given the message Abu Al Qasim”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “that I intended”. He then said the third time “Know that the land belongs to Allaah and His Apostle and I intend to deport you from this land. So, if any of you has property (he cannot take it away), he must sell it, otherwise know that the land belongs to Allaah and His Apostle ﷺ.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3003)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى يَهُودَ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جِئْنَا إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمِدْرَاسِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُودَ أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا قَالُوا قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا قَالُوا قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ وَقَالَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُجْلِيَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ مَالِهِ فَلْيَبِعْهُ وَإِلَّا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْأَرْضُ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ
