Some of the Jewish tribes were living in Madīnah, and they kept betraying Muslims and breaching their covenants with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) during his lifetime and with his Companions after his death. So, some of them made covenants with them, whereas others declared war against them. In this Hadīth, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reports that the Caliph ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled the Jews and the Christians, i.e., he deported them from the land of Hijāz, namely Makkah and Madīnah and their surroundings. Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reports that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gained victory over the people of Khaybar and overcame them in the seventh year of Hijrah, and it was a village inhabited by the Jews almost 168 kilometers away from Madīnah from the direction of the Levant, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to expel the Jews from it, for when the land of Khaybar was conquered by Muslims, it became a possession of Allah, His Messenger, and Muslims. This clearly shows that the land was no longer owned by the Jews after being conquered by Muslims; rather, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it among the victorious Muslims and it became among their possessions. What is meant by it being a possession of Allah and His Messenger is that some of its shares were given to the Muslims' public treasury. On knowing that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to deport them from Khaybar, the Jews asked him to allow them to stay in it and leave them on condition that they would work therein in the trees and the land in return for half of its fruits, whereas the other half would be for him, and he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) agreed to the condition they stipulated for themselves. His saying: "For as long as we wish", was an exception made by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to the condition of their stay. It means that if Muslims wanted to expel you from that place, you would have to leave, as the Jews were not entitled to anything if Muslims had a different opinion. The agreement was concluded on such terms, and the Jews remained in Khaybar and stayed therein during the time of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr as-Siddīq (may Allah be pleased with him) until 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph. During his time, Muslims were of the opinion of expelling the Jews from the Peninsula, and this acted as an invalidation of the contract between the Muslims and the Jews, and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled them from that place to Taymā' and Arīhā'. Taymā’ is a place on the way of Madīnah and Tabūk city toward the Levant. Historically and geographically, it is located northwest of the Arabian Peninsula. It is almost 264 kilometres away to the east of Tabūk city and nearly 420 kilometres away to the north of Madīnah, whereas Arīhā’ was a village in the Levant. The reason why ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled the Jews was narrated in Al-Bukhāri Collection where ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar went to his property there and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were injured, and as we have no enemies there except them, they are our enemies and the ones whom we suspect, and I have made up my mind to exile them. So, he exiled them and gave them the price of the fruits they were entitled to in the form of money, camels, and goods, including saddles, ropes, etc. In the two Sahīh Collections, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Expel the polytheists from Arabia." The Hadīth shows that agricultural land is leased to the landowner for a known portion of its fruits, whereas the rest goes to its cultivator. It points out that a Muslim ruler has the right to conclude treaties, make whatever exceptions he wants, and revoke such treaties based on the agreed-upon conditions, provided that all this is for the benefit of Muslims. It highlights the fact that dealing with the People of the Book should be for what brings benefit, not harm, to the Muslim Ummah, along with being careful and taking precautions against them..
