Some of their date palms were felled and others were burnt down. The Holy Prophet ﷺ laid a siege to the Jewish fortresses. The Jews locked themselves up in the fortresses, but the hypocrites, being essentially cowards, hid themselves. As a result, he together with the noble Companions ؓ marched on that tribe.
The Jews fell into the trap of the three and sent a message to the Holy Prophet that they would not leave. It is stated in Ruh-ul-Ma` ani on the authority of Ibn Ishaq that along with ` Abdullah were Wadi'ah Ibn Malik, Suwaid and Ra'ish. He said that they did not have to leave because he had an army of two thousand men who were willing to lay down their lives to protect the Jewish lives. They decided to leave, but ` Abdullah Ibn 'Ubayy prevented them. Therefore, they are given ten days in which to leave the town and go into exile, and were warned that if they would not meet the deadline, they might be killed at sight. The Holy Prophet ﷺ instantly left the place, returned to Madinah and sent a message to Banu Nadir that they have betrayed the treaty. But before the Jews could execute their sinister plan, Allah revealed to him in time about their plot and conspiracy. In the meanwhile, they secretly plotted that someone should climb the particular wall in the shade of which the Holy Prophet ﷺ was sitting and drop a rock on him and kill him. When he reached there, they made him sit against a wall and said to him that they were going to gather the blood money. Before his arrival, they conspired to put an end to his life. The Holy Prophet ﷺ visited the tribe of Banu Nadir for this purpose. Then he decided to collect money from the Jews as well in terms of the treaty he already had with them. The Holy Prophet ﷺ first collected money from the Muslims for this purpose. According to Law, the Muslims jointly had to settle the blood-wit. Once it happened that ` Amr Ibn 'Umayyah Damuri killed two persons by mistake. The latter tribe lived about two miles away from Madinah. Banu Nadir, one of the Jew tribes living around Madinah, were one of the three signatories. The story of their banishment from Madinah is that when the Messeger of Allah ﷺ migrated to Madinah, he concluded a peace treaty with the Jews. The present Surah describes the punishment faced by the Jews in this world in the form of exile and in the Hereafter in the form of grievous torment. The preceding Surah had condemned the close friendship developed by the hypocrites with the Jews.
