Fadak is an oasis located in the outskirts of the Hijaz, near the city of Khaybar in the Arabian Peninsula. It is located today in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is administratively affiliated to the Hail region. It is located in the western-south part of the Hail region. Its ancient inhabitants were the Amalekites, and after them inhabited by the Jews, it was famous for its cultivation of wheat and dates. Ali bin Abi Talib was sent to fight them and then they were reconciled over half of their property.

It was inhabited by the Amalekites until the Iraqi king Nabonid came and annihilated them, then he departed after ten years. So the Amalekites were restored and were able to control Fadak, then the Jews of Khaybar came and took control of the area. One of the most important historical cities in the Arabian Peninsula.
its location

Between it and Madinah there are two days, and it was said three, that it is a Jewish land in the course of its ancient history.

It was inhabited by a group of Jews, and they continued to do so until the seventh year, when God cast terror into the hearts of its people, so they reconciled with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, over half of Fadak and it was narrated that he reconciled them all over it.

Thus began its Islamic history, and it belonged to the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, because it was not lost on a stingy or rider and he gave it or gave it to his daughter Fatima al-Zahra, and she had workers with her who worked and brought the harvest or its value to al-Zahra until the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, died. With it Fatima as if she was his, so he ordered her to bring witnesses and infer a hadith from the Messenger of God (we are the prophets, we do not inherit, what we leave is charity) - according to the words of the owner of the incendiary lightning - and it became one of the sources of public finances and resources of the state’s wealth at that time
