English translation
3004. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ka'b bin Mālik, from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, that the disbelievers of the Quraish wrote to Ibn Ubayy and the people with him of Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj, who used to worship idols. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was in Al-Madinah at that time, before the Battle of Badr. (In their letter, they said): "You have given protection to our companion, but we swear by Allāh that you should fight him or expel him, or we shall come to you with full force and kill your warriors and capture your womenfolk." When that reached 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and the idol-worshippers who were with him, they gathered to fight the
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. When news of that reached the Prophet ﷺ, he met with them, and said: "The threat of the Quraish to you has affected you greatly. Their plot cannot do you more harm than the harm you could bring upon yourselves. Do you want to fight your sons and brothers?" When they heard that from the Prophet ﷺ, they dispersed. News of that reached the disbelievers of the Quraish. After the Battle of Badr, the disbelievers of the Quraish wrote to the Jews saying: "You are people of weapons and fortresses; you should fight our companion, or we shall do such and such, and nothing will come between us and the anklets of your womenfolk." When news of their letter reached the Prophet ﷺ, Banū An-Naḏīr decided on treachery. They sent word to the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Send thirty of your men out to us, and we will send out thirty of our rabbis, so that they may meet in a place half way between us and you, and they will listen to what you have to say. If they accept it, and believe in you, then we will believe in you." And he told the story. "The next day the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to them with the troops and besieged them. He said to them: 'By Allāh, you will not be safe from me unless you conclude a treaty with me.' But they refused to give him a covenant, so he fought them that day. Then the next day, he went with the army to Banū Quraizah, and
left Banū An-Naḏīr alone. He called (Banū Quraizah) to make a covenant with him, and they made a covenant with him, so he left them alone, and went back to Banū An-Naḏīr with the army, and fought them until they agreed to go in exile. So Banū An-Naḏīr left, and they took with them whatever their camels could carry of their belongings, (even) the doors of their houses and their wood. The palm trees of Banu An-Naḏīr were exclusively for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ; Allāh granted them to him alone. Allāh said: 'And what Allāh gave as Fai to His Messenger from them — for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry'[1] meaning, without fighting. The Prophet ﷺ gave most of it to the Muhājirīn and divided it among them, and he gave shares to two Ansārī men who were in need, but he did not give shares to any other Anṣār apart from them. And some of it remained as charity on behalf of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and was administered by the sons of Fāṭimah, may Allāh be pleased with her." (Ḍa'if)
