حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَامَلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ، فَكَانَ يُعْطِي أَزْوَاجَهُ مِائَةَ وَسْقٍ: ثَمَانُونَ وَسْقَ تَمْرٍ، وَعِشْرُونَ وَسْقَ شَعِيرٍ؛ فَقَسَمَ عُمَرُ خَيْبَرَ فَخَيَّرَ أَزْوَاجَ النَبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَوْ يُمْضِيَ لَهُنَّ، فَمِنْهُنَّ مَنِ اخْتَارَ الأَرْضَ وَمِنْهُنَّ مَنِ اخْتَارَ الْوَسْقَ، وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ اخْتَارَتِ الأَرْضَ.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم concluded a contract with the people of Khaibar to utilize the land on the condition that half the produce of fruits or vegetation would be their share. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to give his wives one hundred Wasq each, eighty Wasq of dates and twenty Wasq of barley.(When 'Umar became the Caliph) he gave the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the option of either having the land and water as their share or carrying on the previous practice. Some of them choose the land and some choose the Wasq, and 'Aisha رضي الله عنها choose the land. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadith No. 521, Vol. 3)
