In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Jews.
0:04
Islam and the Muslims engaged
0:07
in a bitter struggle
0:09
against the spiteful Jews.
0:11
Here is the account:
0:13
The Jews of Banu Qaynuqa'
0:16
were of such
0:18
insolence.
0:20
They said, "O Muhammad, do not
0:22
let it deceive you that you
0:24
killed a group of Quraysh
0:26
who were inexperienced
0:28
and did not know how to fight.
0:30
Had you fought us,
0:32
you would have known that we
0:34
are the true warriors."
0:36
It was not long thereafter
0:38
that one of them mistreated
0:40
a Muslim woman,
0:42
and his people supported him.
0:44
Consequently, they were besieged,
0:46
and then they surrendered.
0:48
Were it not for the intervention of Ibn Salul,
0:50
they would have perished in a single day.
0:52
But the Prophet,
0:54
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:56
accepted his intercession for them
0:58
and ordered them to depart
1:00
from Medina.
1:02
This occurred after Badr.
1:04
The Jews of Banu al-Nadir:
1:06
The Prophet,
1:08
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:10
went out to them
1:12
with some of his Companions to ask them to assist him
1:14
with the blood money for two men
1:16
whom 'Amr ibn Umayyah
1:18
al-Damri had killed, without
1:20
realizing they were under a covenant
1:22
with the Prophet.
1:24
It was the duty of the Jews to participate,
1:26
as stipulated by
1:28
the Constitution of Medina.
1:30
However, they sought
1:32
to kill the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:34
by dropping
1:36
a millstone upon him to rid themselves
1:38
of him.
1:41
When the revelation came to him,
1:43
he sent word to them
1:45
that they could no longer live in Medina.
1:47
If they refused,
1:49
then it would be war.
1:51
He gave them ten days,
1:53
and they initially agreed.
1:55
But Ibn Salul
1:57
stood in solidarity with their position,
1:59
which gave them a sense of security.
2:01
Thus, the fighting began,
2:03
and the matter was settled in
2:05
six nights.
2:07
Their allies abandoned them,
2:09
the people surrendered,
2:11
and they departed like those before them.
2:13
This was after
2:15
Uhud.
2:17
The Jews of Banu Qurayza:
2:19
Those people exploited
2:21
the coalition of forces against the Muslims,
2:23
betrayed the covenant,
2:25
and displayed their malice
2:27
at a critical time,
2:29
which led to the result
2:31
that the Muslims besieged them.
2:33
The siege intensified,
2:35
their resolve crumbled,
2:37
and they submitted to the judgment
2:39
of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:41
regarding them.
2:43
He pronounced his ijtihad,
2:45
which was in accordance with the decree of Allah,
2:47
through their ally, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh,
2:49
whom they thought
2:51
would intercede for them
2:53
just as Ibn Salul had interceded
2:55
for his allies.
2:57
Thus, the men were executed,
2:59
the women were taken captive,
3:01
and the wealth was divided.
3:03
This was after
3:05
the Trench (al-Khandaq).
3:08
Those who left went to Khaybar,
3:10
where Allah gave the Muslims power over them
3:12
and granted His servants victory against them.
3:14
Read in the books
3:16
of history
3:18
the story of Ibn al-Hayyaban
3:20
to understand the matter in its true light.
