Umar's Expulsion of the Jews of Khaybar and Fadak

Al-Baladhuri says that the Jews of Khaybar stayed on their lands under the sharecropping arrangement during the lifetime of the Prophet, of Abu Bakr, and part of the caliphate of Umar. Then Umar expelled them from it, and likewise expelled the Jews of Fadak. ¹

The reason for the expulsion in the report is that Abd Allah ibn Umar came to them on some business and they laid an ambush for him. Umar expelled them and divided the land among the Muslims who had been present at it, and gave the wives of the Prophet a share in it and let them choose between the fruit and the estate. ¹

Umar said that the Prophet said: "Two religions shall not gather in the Arabian peninsula." ¹

When Umar expelled the Jews of the Hijaz, he sent three of the Ansar, namely Abu al-Haytham Malik ibn al-Tayyihan, Sahl ibn Abi Hathma and Zayd ibn Thabit. They valued half its soil at a fair price, and Umar gave it to the Jews and expelled them to Syria. ²

The book does not date the event by a year. The date of about 20 AH is approximate and derived, and needs an additional source. ¹
