While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet ﷺ came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى يَهُودَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى جِئْنَا بَيْتَ الْمِدْرَاسِ فَقَالَ أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُجْلِيَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ فَمَنْ يَجِدْ مِنْكُمْ بِمَالِهِ شَيْئًا فَلْيَبِعْهُ وَإِلاَّ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

“Thursday, and what a Thursday it was!” Then he wept until his tears soaked the pebbles. I said, “O Abu al-Abbas, what was Thursday?” He said: The pain of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became severe, so he said: "Bring me a shoulder blade so that I may write for you a document after which you will never go astray." They then disputed, though dispute is not proper in the presence of a prophet. They said, “What is the matter with him? Is he disoriented? Ask him to clarify.” So he said: "Leave me, for the state I am in is better than what you are calling me to."

He then instructed them with three things. He said: "Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and grant delegations gifts similar to what I used to grant them." The third was something good: either he remained silent about it, or he said it and I forgot it.

يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ، وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ! ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَى. قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ، مَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ؟ قَالَ: اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَعُهُ، فَقَالَ: «ائْتُونِي بِكَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا». فَتَنَازَعُوا، وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ، فَقَالُوا: مَا لَهُ؟ أَهَجَرَ؟ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ. فَقَالَ: «ذَرُونِي، فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونِي إِلَيْهِ».

فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِثَلاَثٍ، قَالَ: «أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ». وَالثَّالِثَةُ خَيْرٌ، إِمَّا أَنْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ قَالَهَا فَنَسِيتُهَا.
