أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ أَبَاهُ ( عليه السلام ) حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَعْطَى خَيْبَرَ بِالنِّصْفِ أَرْضَهَا وَ نَخْلَهَا فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَتِ الثَّمَرَةُ بَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَوَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قِيمَةً فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِمَّا أَنْ تَأْخُذُوهُ وَ تُعْطُونِي نِصْفَ الثَّمَنِ وَ إِمَّا أَنْ أُعْطِيَكُمْ نِصْفَ الثَّمَنِ وَ آخُذَهُ فَقَالُوا بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> informed me that his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> narrated to him<sup>asws</sup> that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> gave Khyber with the half of its land and its palm trees. So when the fruits were realised, he<sup>saww</sup> sent Abdullah Bin Rawahat who evaluated upon them a price. So he said to them, ‘Either you take it (the crops) and give me half the price, or else I give you half the price and I take it (the crops)’. So they said, ‘By this (justice), stand the skies and the earth’.
