Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Apostle (SAW) had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle (SAW), and the Muslims. Allah's Apostle (SAW) intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labour and get half of the fruits. Allah's Apostle (SAW) told them, "We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there until Umar forced them to go towards Taima and Ariha.

My uncle Zuhair said, "Allah's Apostle (SAW) forbade us to do a thing which was a source of help to us." I said, "Whatever Allah's Apostle (SAW) said was right." He said, "Allah's Apostle (SAW) sent for me and asked, 'What are you doing with your farms?' I replied, 'We give our farms on rent on the basis that we get the yield produced at the banks of the water streams (rivers) for the rent, or rent it for some Wasqs of barley and dates.' Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, 'Do not do so, but cultivate (the land) yourselves or let it be cultivated by others gratis, or keep it uncultivated.' I said, 'We hear and obey.'

Ibn Umar used to rent his farms in the time of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and in the early days of Muawiya. Then he was told the narration of Rafi bin Khadij that the Prophet (SAW) had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn Umar went to Rafi and I accompanied him. He asked Rafi who replied that the Prophet (SAW) had forbidden the renting of farms. Ibn Umar said, "You know that we used to rent our farms in the life-time of Allah's Apostle (SAW) for the yield of the banks of the water streams (rivers) and for certain amount of figs. [And in some copies of Sahih al Bukhari it is written as "At-Tibn" i.e., chopped straw instead of figs.]

Abdullah bin Umar said, "I knew that the land was rented for cultivation in the life-time of Allah's Apostle (SAW)." Later on Ibn Umar was afraid that the Prophet (SAW) had forbidden it, and he had no knowledge of it, so he gave up renting his land.

Once the Prophet (SAW) was narrating (a story), while a bedouin was sitting with him. "One of the inhabitants of Paradise will ask Allah to allow him to cultivate the land. Allah will ask him, 'Are you not living in the pleasures you like?' He will say, 'Yes, but I like to cultivate the land.' " The Prophet (SAW) added, "When the man (will be permitted he) will sow the seeds and the plants will grow up and get ripe, ready for reaping and so on till it will be as huge as mountains within a wink. Allah will then say to him, 'O son of Adam! Take here you are, gather (the yield); nothing satisfies you.' " On that, the bedouin said, "The man must be either from Quraish (i.e. an emigrant) or an Ansari, for they are farmers, whereas we are not farmers." The Prophet (SAW) smiled (at this).

The people say that Abu Huraira narrates too many narrations. In fact Allah knows whether I say the truth or not. They also ask, "Why do the emigrants and the Ansar not narrate as he does?" In fact, my emigrant brethren were busy trading in the markets, and my Ansar brethren were busy with their properties. I was a poor man keeping the company of Allah's Apostle (SAW) and was satisfied with what filled my stomach. So, I used to be present while they (i.e. the emigrants and the Ansar) were absent, and I used to remember while they forgot (the Hadith). One day the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever spreads his sheet till I finish this statement of mine and then gathers it on his chest, will never forget anything of my statement." So, I spread my covering sheet which was the only garment I had, till the Prophet (SAW) finished his statement and then I gathered it over my chest. By Him Who had sent him (i.e. Allah's Apostle (SAW)) with the truth, since then I did not forget even a single word of that statement of his, until this day of mine. By Allah, but for two verses in Allah's Book, I would never have related any narration (from the Prophet (SAW)). (These two verses are): "Verily! Those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent down .....(up to) the Most Merciful.' (2.159-160)

A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet (SAW) who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his left side there were old men. The Prophet (SAW) asked, "O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet (SAW) gave it to him.

Anas bin Malik said, that once a domestic sheep was milked for Allah's Apostle (SAW) while he was in the house of Anas bin Malik. The milk was mixed with water drawn from the well in Anas's house. A tumbler of it was presented to Allah's Apostle (SAW) who drank from it. Then Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and a bedouin on his right side. When the Prophet (SAW) removed the tumbler from his mouth, 'Umar was afraid that the Prophet (SAW) might give it to the bedouin, so he said. "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Give it to Abu Bakr who is sitting by your side." But the Prophet (SAW) gave it to the bedouin, who was to his right and said, "You should start with the one on your right side."
