Overview
On his return from Khaybar the Prophet sent Muhayyisa ibn Mas'ud al-Ansari to the people of Fadak to call them to Islam. Their chief was Yusha' ibn Nun the Jew, and they made peace with him on half the land with its soil, and he accepted. 1
Another account
In another account a remnant of the people of Khaybar fortified themselves and asked that their blood be spared and that they be sent away. When the people of Fadak heard that, they agreed to the same terms. 1
The fate of the land
Half of Fadak became the exclusive property of the Prophet, because it was not taken by horse or riding camel, and he spent what came to him from it on the wayfarers. The event is connected with the chapter on the spoils. The date is approximate, in 7 AH, and the conversion is derived. 1
