Expedition against Banu Nadir
Back at last in Madinah, Amr bin Umayya informed the Prophet ﷺ of what he had done.
The Prophet’s ﷺ only words were:
“You have killed two such men whose blood I must redeem.”
Both incidents at Bir Ma’una and Raj’i deeply anguished the
Prophet ﷺ. He had sent two missions of peace, and both had ended tragically in the same month. It is said that he received the news of both tragedies the same night.
He found solace in prayer (Qunoot), supplicating for the martyred Muslims and calling down Allah’s punishment on their killers. For thirty days, each morning he received revelation. Allah informed him that He had indeed met His martyred slaves. He was pleased with them, and they had been no less pleased with their Lord’s treatment of them.
Expedition against Banu Nadir
Other matters demanded the Prophet’s ﷺ attention. Amr bin
Umayya’s killing of the two men from Banu Kilab had to be redressed. If no blood money was forthcoming, the Muslims would be deemed guilty of violating a pact, and more bloodshed could be expected
Consequently, the Prophet ﷺ went to Banu Nadir along with a few of his Companions to ask them to contribute towards the blood money.
They said to him, “Abdul Qasim, we shall do accordingly.
Take your seat here. We will fulfil your need.” The Prophet ﷺ waited while the Jews consulted privately with one another.
Unfortunately, Shaytaan prevailed over their honour, and they decided to murder the Prophet ﷺ . They said to each other, “Who will carry this millstone and drop it on him?” Up rose Amr Jahsh to carry out the deed. In the meantime, as the prophet ﷺ sat waiting for his hosts to come back with their decision, Jibreel descended and revealed the plot to him.
The Prophet ﷺ hurried away and set out for the road to Madinah, where he was joined by his Companions.
Treachery by allies who are bound by a treaty is never a light
matter. By plotting against the Prophet ﷺ , Banu Nadir had demonstrated that they could not coexist with the Muslims. Naturally, the Prophet ﷺ wished to end the alliance and, based on the action of the Jews, assumed that they were at war with one another. He therefore sent Muhammad bin Muslimah to issue an ultimatum to the Jews – since they had forfeited their right to live with the Muslims, they were to leave Madinah within ten days. Any Jew found after the lapse of the deadline would be put to death. After receiving this notice, the Jews began preparing to leave.
At that point, Abdullah bin Ubayy, the head of the Hypocrites, sent them a message!!
What did he write in the message
