Sahih al-Bukhari 2619 (Book 54, Hadith 18)
delivering a sermon saying, “No doubt, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made a contract with the Jews concerning
their properties, and said to them, ‘We allow you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.’
Now `Abdullah bin `Umar went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were
dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except those Jews, they are our enemies and the only
people whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to exile them.” When `Umar decided to carry out
his decision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq’s came and addressed `Umar, “O chief of the believers, will you
exile us although Muhammad allowed us to stay at our places, and made a contract with us about our
properties, and accepted the condition of our residence in our land?” `Umar said, “Do you think that I
have forgotten the statement of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), i.e.: What will your condition be when you are
expelled from Khaibar and your camel will be carrying you night after night?” The Jew replied, “That
was joke from Abul-Qasim.” `Umar said, “O the enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie.” `Umar then
drove them out and paid them the price of their properties in the form of fruits, money, camel saddles
and ropes, etc.”
