You would soon conquer a land where people are in the habit of using foul language. They have a right of kinship upon you. And when you see two persons fighting for the space of a brick, then get out of that. He (Abu Dharr) then happened to pass by Rabila and 'Abd al-Rahman, the two sons of Shurahbil b.

`Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had conquered
Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle,
and the Muslims. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay
there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told them,
"We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there
until `Umar forced them to go towards Taima' and Ariha'.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it
belonged to Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to leave
them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would
yield). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish." Thus they stayed
till the time of `Umar's Caliphate when he expelled them to Taima and Ariha.
