#1740 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Two deens
shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula."


Malik said that
Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about
that until he was absolutely convinced that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said, 'Two deens shall
not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula,' and he therefore expelled the
jews from Khaybar."


Malik said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab expelled the jews from Najran
(a jewish settlement in the Yemen) and Fadak (a jewish settlement
thirty miles from Madina). When the jews of Khaybar left, they did not
take any fruit or land. The jews of Fadak took half the fruit and half
the land, because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had made a settlement with them for that. So Umar
entrusted to them the value in gold, silver, camels, ropes and saddle
bags of half the fruit and half the land, and handed the value over to
them and expelled them."
