Shafaqna English- Why Quran? Presented: The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) | By Sheikh Azhar Nasser
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) approached the Jewish tribe of Banu Nadhir to help the Muslims make peace between themselves and another Jewish tribe, only to discover at the last minute that Banu Nadhir was planning to assassinate him.
Why? The Banu Nadir could not accept the final Messenger of God. They considered it degrading to be subservient to a non-Jew. Faced with this treachery, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) commanded them to take their belongings and leave Madinah in ten days.
The Banu Nadhir initially refuse, preparing for war, but surrender once the Muslims besieged their fortress. Despite their willingness to fight the Prophet (PBUH) still allowed the tribe to depart, but orders them to leave their weapons behind this time. Banu Nadhir relocate to the Fortress of Khaybar.
Surah Al Hashr (#59) Verses 1-16 describe this encounter.
