Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Layth narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id from his father from Abu Hurayrah that he said:
We were (sitting) in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us and said: (Let us) go to the Jews. We went out with him until we came to them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and called out to them (saying): O ye assembly of Jews, accept Islam (and) you will be safe. They said: Abu'l-Qasim, you have communicated (God's Message to us). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I want this (i. e. you should admit that God's Message has been communicated to you), accept Islam and you would be safe. They said: Abu'l-Qisim, you have communicated (Allah's Message). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I want this... - He said to them (the same words) the third time (and on getting the same reply) he added: You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I wish that I should expel you from this land Those of you who have any property with them should sell it, otherwise they should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle (and they may have to go away leaving everything behind). بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى يَهُودَ، فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى جِئْنَاهُمْ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَادَاهُمْ، فَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُودَ، أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا ، فَقَالُوا : قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ، أَسْلِمُوا تَسْلَمُوا، فَقَالُوا : قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ذَلِكَ أُرِيدُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الثَّالِثَةَ : فَقَالَ : اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْأَرْضُ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُجْلِيَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ، فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْكُمْ بِمَالِهِ شَيْئًا فَلْيَبِعْهُ، وَإِلَّا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
Sahih Muslim 1765
.

The Shaykh : This is from the good policy of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he did not surprise them with the expulsion, but rather he warned them.
It also contains the arrogance of the Jews, for when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them to accept Islam and explained to them that if they accepted Islam they would be safe, their response was bad, where they said:
You have conveyed the message قد بلّغت
, meaning that you have conveyed the message but we do not agree.
