Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ لَوْلَا آخِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا فُتِحَتْ قَرْيَةٌ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ.
Translation
‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from ‘Umar, who said: ‘Were it not for the later Muslims, no town would be conquered without my dividing it, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, divided Khaybar.’
