Qur’anic verses and historical documents reveal that the land of Fadak situated near the Fort of Khaibar, formerly belonging to the Jews, was the personal property of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h). It was neither a government property owned by the treasury nor was it war booty. The seventh verse of Surah Hashr, explains the point in detail:
Ayatul Ghadir (Verses on Ghadir)
A search regarding the Prophet's sermon on the farewell pilgrimage and an exegesis of Quranic verses of Ghadir
