Home Hadith Hadith 35204
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-
Musayyab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to the jews of Khaybar on the day of the conquest of
Khaybar, "I confirm you in it as long as Allah, the Mighty, the
Majestic, establishes you in it, provided that the fruits are divided
between us and you." Said continued, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to send Abdullah ibn Rawaha,
to assess the division of the fruit crop between him and them, and he
would say, 'If you wish, you can buy it back, and if you wish, it is
mine.' They would take it."

Yahya said that Malik spoke about an investor who put qirad money
with an agent who bought goods with it, and the investor told him to
sell them. The agent said that he did not see any way to sell at that
time and they quarrelled about it. He said, "One does not look at the
statement of either of them. The people of experience and insight
concerning such goods are asked about these goods. If they can see
anyway of selling them they are sold for them. If they think it is
time to wait, they should wait."
