2469 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا افْتَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ، أَعْطَاهَا عَلَى النِّصْفِ»

Commentary
This type of agreement regarding gardens is called Masāqāt. Whatever is the total produce of the garden, one half or one third, it is given to the person who is taking care of the garden and the rest is for the owner. Such an agreement regarding cultivation of land is called Muzāra'ah. The land of a non-Muslim country that comes under the control and possession of the Muslim victorious army, becomes the property of the Muslim State. For the development and settlement of this land, a contract can be made both with Muslim subjects or non-Muslim subjects of the country, but the land remains the property of the state. The tiller, according to the contract, has to submit the produce to the government, and then he will receive his share from the state. If the tiller is a Muslim and receives the produce for which Zakāt becomes due, he will have to pay one tenth as Zakāt.
