Ibn Abbas narrated that: when the Prophet conquered Khaibar; he stipulated that the land; and all the yellow and white; meaning gold and silver belonged to him. The people of Khaibar said to him: We know the land better; so give it to us so that we may work the land; and you will have half of its produce and we will have half. He maintained that; he gave it to them on that basis. When the time for the date harvest came; he sent Ibn Rawahah to them. He assesses the date palms; and he said: For this tree; such and such amount. They said: You are demanding too much of us; O Ibn Rawahah! He said: This is my assessment and I will give you half of what I say. They said: This is fair; and fairness is what haven and earth are based on. They said: We Agree to take accept what you say.
