Banu Nadheer

Quraysh

Banu Quraydha

The Prophet( s) and a few companions went to Banu Nadheer, to ask them to contribute towards the blood money.

While the Prophet(s ) waited, the Jews decided to murder the Prophet( s ) by dropping a millstone on him

Jibreel(a) descended and revealed the plot to the Prophet( s ) and he hurried away

Treachery by allies who are bound by a treaty, was now exposed

The Jews had a lot of wealth and lived in castles, but their wealth did not avail them when the punishment of Allah came to them

They were People of the Book, but when they opposed the Prophet( s ) ,Allah humiliated them

Don't waste a lot of money and time decorating your homes, it's temporary, eventually you move

The Muslims laid siege to the tribe of Banu Nadheer

After six or fifteen days, they agreed to lay down arms on condition that they would be allowed to go safely into exile

With their own eyes they saw their palm trees being cut and burnt, which was their revenue

They distroyed their homes with their own hands and finally left Madina with their belongings

They were loving and welcoming towards the Muhajareen

When the Faii was distributed among the Muhajareen, the Ansar didn't get upset or jealous

They gave preference to the Muhajareen over themselves

Even if they themselves were poor, they were always ready to accommodate the Muhajareen

One who is stingy and greedy

One who is never happy for others success

One who is always burning from inside with jealousy

They befriend those who oppose Allah and His Rasool

They show false promises by assuring the Jews that they will go with them if they are driven out

They also assure the Jews of extending help if they are attacked

However, they neither extended help nor went along with the Jews out of Madina

They will never fight face to face except in fortresses or behind walls

Among themselves is strong enmity

Among themselves is disunity

Adopt Taqwa

We should ponder over what we are sending ahead for our tomorrow

Do not forget Allah, as a result Allah will cause them, to forget themselves
