حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ، - يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ - عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَيْبَرَ

قَسَمَهَا عَلَى سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَهْمًا جَمَعَ كُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةَ سَهْمٍ فَعَزَلَ نِصْفَهَا لِنَوَائِبِهِ وَمَا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ الْوَطِيحَةَ وَالْكُتَيْبَةَ وَمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا وَعَزَلَ النِّصْفَ الآخَرَ فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الشَّقَّ وَالنَّطَاةَ وَمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا وَكَانَ سَهْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِيمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا

Bashir bin Yasar said “When Allaah bestowed Khaibar on His Prophet (ﷺ) as fai’ (spoils), he divided it into thirty six lots. Each lot comprised one hundred portions. He separated its half for his emergent needs and whatever befalls him. Al Watih and Al Kutaibah and Al Salalim and whatever acquired with them. He separated the other half and he divided Al Shaqq and Nata’ and whatever acquired with them. The portion of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) lay in the property acquired with them.
