سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَمَّا افْتَتَحَ خَيْبَرَ تَرَكَهَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى النِّصْفِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتِ الثَّمَرَةُ بَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَخَرَصَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ زَادَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ قَدْ خَرَصْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا يَأْخُذُونَ بِمَا خَرَصْنَا وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا أَخَذْنَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, from Abu Al Sabbah who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying that when the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> conquered Khyber, he<sup>saww</sup> left it in their hands upon a stipulation that the half (would be for each party). So when the fruits reached (maturity), he<sup>saww</sup> sent Abdullah in Rawahat to them, who evaluated it upon them. So they came over to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> and they said to him<sup>saww</sup>, ‘He has increased (the estimation) upon us’. So he<sup>saww</sup> sent a message to Abdullah, and he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘What are they saying?’ He said, ‘I had evaluated upon them with something, so if they so desire to they can take with what we have evaluated, and if they so desire to, we take it’. So a man from the Jews said, ‘By this (justice) stand the skies and the earth’.
