Evection of Banu AL Nadhir


       Rasulu Allah (saws) sent a messenger to Banu Al Nadhir. The messenger informed them that Rasulu Allah (saws) had discovered their plot. He also informed them that they should leave Al Madinah within ten days as a punishment for them.

      Banu Al Nadhir were very stubborn. They refused to evacuate Al Madinah. Instead, their reply was that they are not afraid of Muhammad and that they wanted to end the peace agreement they signed before. This left Rasulu Allah (saws) with no option but to fight them. So, he (saws) ordered the Muslim army to fight Banu Al Nadhir.

      Banu Al Nadhir had strong forts. They hid inside their forts. When the Muslim army arrived they threw stones and shot arrows at the Muslim army. Their main target was to kill Rasulu Allah (saws).

      The Muslim army surrounded their forts for three weeks but they did not surrender. At the end their food supplies were about to finish. They sent a messenger to Rasulu Allah (saws) and asked his forgiveness. Rasulu Allah (saws) forgave them but ordered them to leave Al Madinah. He allowed them to take all their belongings with them except their weapons. He even gave them time to collect their debts from the muslims in Madinah before they left. Some of Banu Al Nadhir setteled in Khaiber and the rest settled in Al Sham
