Then, at the time of his passing—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—he instructed us to remove the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.

In Sahih Muslim it is related that Umar ibn al-Khattab said: “I heard the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—declare, ‘I will most certainly expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, leaving no one there but a Muslim.’”

Imam Ahmad and Abu ʿUbayd transmit, on the authority of Abu ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: “The last words the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—spoke were: ‘Expel the Jews of the Hijaz and the Christians of Najran from the Arabian Peninsula.’”
