فدك

A Jewish oasis in the northern Hijaz near Khaybar; its people made peace with the Prophet on his return from Khaybar for half the land with its soil, the surrendered half becoming the Prophet's own fay' which he spent on wayfarers, and they remained there until Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) exiled them in his caliphate together with the Jews of Khaybar to Syria, after their share of palms and land was valued at a fair price paid to them.
