Amr bin Shu'aib, on his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported:Hilal, a man from the tribe of Banu Mat'an brought a tenth of honey which he possessed in beehives to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He asked him (the apostle of Allah) to give the wood known as Salabah as a protected (or restricted) land. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave him that wood as a protected land. When Umar ibn al-Khattab succeeded, Sufyan ibn Wahb wrote to Umar asking him about this wood. Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to him: If he (Hilal) pays you the tithe on honey what he used to pay to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), leave the protected land of Salabah in his possession; otherwise those bees are like those of any wood; anyone can take the honey as he likes

حدثنا احمد بن ابي شعيب الحراني، حدثنا موسى بن اعين، عن عمرو بن الحارث المصري، عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن ابيه، عن جده، قال جاء هلال - احد بني متعان - الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعشور نحل له وكان ساله ان يحمي له واديا يقال له سلبة فحمى له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذلك الوادي فلما ولي عمر بن الخطاب - رضى الله عنه - كتب سفيان بن وهب الى عمر بن الخطاب يساله عن ذلك فكتب عمر رضى الله عنه ان ادى اليك ما كان يودي الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من عشور نحله له فاحم له سلبة والا فانما هو ذباب غيث ياكله من يشاء
