Narrated Bashir ibn Yasar: When Allah bestowed Khaybar on the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as fay (spoils of war without fighting), he divided the whole into thirty six lots. He put aside a half, i. e. eighteen lots, for the Muslims. Each lot comprised one hundred shares, and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was with them. He received a share like the share of one of them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم separated eighteen lots, that is, half, for his future needs and whatever befell the Muslims. These were al-Watih, al-Kutaybah, as-Salalim and their colleagues. When all this property came in the possession of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and of the Muslims, they did not have sufficient labourers to work on it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم called Jews and employed them on contract.
