Battle of Khaibar
One day, a Muslim man was grazing the camels received as Zakat near Khaibar. The Jews attacked him. They killed the man and stole the camels.

In Khaibar, the Jews were preparing for war against Rasulu Allah. They equipped themselves very well and stocked up on food supplies and arms. They also recruited Ghatafan and Fazarah which were two Jewish tribes living near Khaibar.

In Madinah, Rasulu (saws) did not want war. He sent a group of Muslims to Khaibar to negotiate a peace agreement. The Muslims asked the chiefs of Khaibar to accompany them to Madinah in order to meet with Rasulu Allah (saws) to finalize the peace agreement. The Jews accepted. However, while they were on their way to Madinah, the Jews attacked the Muslims. The two parties fought, but the Muslims managed to win the battle and returned to Madinah. They informed Rasulu Allah (Saws) of what had happened. That left Rasulu Allah without any choice but to fight the Jews of Khaibar.
