Evacuation of Banu Al Nadhir
The tribe of Banu Al Nadhir was one of the three Jewish tribes living in Al Madinah. They made a peace agreement with Rasulu Allah (saws) when he arrived at Al Madinah. One of the terms of the peace agreement was that they should assist Muslims monetarily when Muslims need their help.

One day, Rasulu Allah (saws) went along with Umar and Abu Bakr to collect some money that Banu Al Nadhir had pledged to help the Muslims. Banu Al Nadhir pretended to welcome Rasulu Allah (saws) but among themselves they were planning to kill him. First, they told him that they are going to lend him the money which they promised. Then, they asked him to sit down in the shade of a high wall. While Rasulu Allah (saws) was sitting in the shade of the wall, they pretended that they needed to go inside to bring the money. Instead, they went inside and asked one of them to go up and drop a huge rock on the head of Rasulu Allah (saws) from the top of the wall.

While Rasulu Allah (saws) was waiting for them, Jibreel (as) came to him and informed him of their plan. Rasulu Allah (saws) left his place quickly. He escaped their plan.
