Hadith 36

(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – The number, 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-asws saying that when the Prophet-saww conquered Khyber, he-saww left it in their hand upon the half (yield). When the fruits ripened, he-saww sent Abdullah Bin Rawaha to them. He estimated upon them and they came to the Prophet-saww and said to him-saww, ‘He has exceeded upon us’. He-saww sent a message to Abdullah and said: ‘What are they saying? ’ He said, ‘I had estimated upon them with something, so if they like they can take with what I have estimated, and if they like we take’. A man from the Jews said, ‘By this stand the skies and the earth’’. [35]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Kazruni said, ‘In the year seven from the Emigration was the military expedition of Khyber during Jamadi Al-Awwal, and Khyber was upon eight miles from Al-Medina and that is that when Rasool-Allah-saww returned from Al-hudaybiya stayed at Al-Medina for the remainder of Zil Hijjaj and part of Al-Muharram, then went out during rest of Al-Muharram of the year seven, and left behind Saba’a Bin Arfata Al-Ghanawi in charge upon Al-Medina, and Umm Salmaar came out with him-saww. When he-saww descended in their courtyards, they woke up in the morning and went to their office bearers and with there were the shovels and the working tools. When they looked at Rasool-Allah-saww they said, ‘Muhammad-saww and the army! ’ They turned around running to their fortress, and Rasool-Allah-saww went on saying: ‘Allah-azwj is the greatest! Khyber is ruined. We are an army, when we descend by the courtyards of a people, evil is the morning of the warned ones’. They fought them the severest of the fighting and conquered it fort by fort and these were forts with number, and seized the treasure of the family of Abu Al-Huqeyq, and he had hidden during the ruination, but Allah-azwj Pointed to him, so he was brought; and from ninety three men from the Jews were killed until he-saww respited them to their forts and overcame them upon the land and the palm trees. He-saww reconciled them upon that he-saww would save their blood and for them would be what their riders could carry and for the Prophet-saww would be the yellow (gold) and the white (silver) and the weapons and they would go out and they accepted the stipulation to the Prophet-saww that they will not conceal anything from him-saww, and if they did that, there will be no guarantee for them, not any pact. When the money was found which they had hidden it in the bags of the camels, their women were made captives and they were overcome upon the land and the palm trees, and he-saww handed over to them upon the half (yield). Then he mentioned the Hadeeth of the flag and the return of Abu Bakr and Umar and both of their defeats. And his-saww words: ‘But by Allah-azwj, I-saww will give the flag tomorrow morning to a man who loves Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww love him-asws’ – taking it to the end of what has passed. Then he said, ‘Ibn Abbas said, ‘When the Prophet-saww intended to go out from Khyber, the people said, ‘Now we know, either Safiya is a concubine or a wife. If she was a wife, then he-saww would be veiling her
