وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ رَافِعٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِى مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَجْلَى الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَمَّا ظَهَرَ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ أَرَادَ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْهَا وَكَانَتِ الأَرْضُ حِينَ ظُهِرَ عَلَيْهَا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَرَادَ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْهَا فَسَأَلَتِ الْيَهُودُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنْ يُقِرَّهُمْ بِهَا عَلَى أَنْ يَكْفُوا عَمَلَهَا وَلَهُمْ نِصْفُ الثَّمَرِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « نُقِرُّكُمْ بِهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا شِئْنَا ». فَقَرُّوا بِهَا حَتَّى أَجْلاَهُمْ عُمَرُ إِلَى تَيْمَاءَ وَأَرِيحَاءَ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled the Jews and Christians from the land of Al-Hijaz. When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it, as the land h&d come under the sway of Allah, His Messenger and the Muslims. He wanted to expel the Jews from it but the Jews asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to let them stay there on the basis that they would cultivate it, and they would have half of the yield. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to them: "We will let you stay there on that basis, for as long as we wish." And they stayed there until 'Umar expelled them to Taima' and Ariha'.
