أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ثنا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أُخْبِرْتُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ شَأْنَ خَيْبَرَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَى يَهُوَدَ فَيَخْرُصُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّخْلَ حِينَ يُطَيَّبُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يُخَيِّرُ يَهُوَدَ يَأْخُذُونَهُ بِذَلِكَ ��لْخَرْصِ أَمْ يَدْفَعُونَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ لِكَيْ تُحْصَى الزَّكَاةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ الثِّمَارُ وَتُفَرَّقَ
English Translation
Abu 'Ali al-Rudhbari narrated to us... from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said, recalling the affair of Khaybar: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to send 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah to the Jews to estimate the palm trees when they ripened, before anything was eaten from them. Then he would give the Jews a choice: they could take them at that estimate, or hand them over at that estimate, so that the zakah could be assessed before the fruits were eaten and distributed.
