وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَامَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا مِنْ زَرْعٍ أَوْ ثَمَرٍ . وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ مِمَّنِ اخْتَارَتَا الأَرْضَ وَالْمَاءَ وَقَالَ خَيَّرَ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُنَّ الأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَاءَ .
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) contracted with the people of Khaibar (land and trees on the condition that they should give) half of the yield from land and trees. The rest of the hadith is the same. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ali b. Mushir there is no mention of it, but that A'isha and Hafsa were those who opted for land and water, but he (the narrator) said: He (Hadrat 'Umar, gave option to the wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) that land would be earmarked for them, but he made no mention of water.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1551c
This hadith about Khaibar is another version from Abdullah b. Umar. It says Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم contracted with the people of Khaibar on the condition that they should give half of the yield from land and trees. The rest of the hadith is said to be the same. It also records a wording difference: in one transmission there is no mention that Aisha and Hafsa opted for land and water, and another wording says Umar gave the wives the option of land, without mentioning water. The value of this report is its care with details. It keeps the Khaibar half-yield agreement while preserving wording differences between narrations.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report states half the yield from land and trees.
- It connects to the fuller Khaibar narration.
- It notes a difference about mentioning land and water.
- It shows care in reporting small wording variations.
