58. Expeditions
٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] The people of Banu Nadir and Quraiza fought against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he expelled Banu Nadir and laid siege to Quraiza until they fought against him later. So he killed their men and divided their women, wealth, and children among the Muslims, except for some who joined the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he granted them safety and they embraced Islam. The Hadith mentioning this incident was narrated in Sahih from the Hadith of Abd al-Razzaq.
يَهُودَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقُرَيْظَةَ حَارَبُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَجْلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَأَقَرَّ قُرَيْظَةَ وَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى حَارَبَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَتَلَ رِجَالَهُمْ وَقَسَمَ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَوْلَادَهُمْ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا بَعْضَهُمْ لَحِقُوا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَآمَنَهُمْ وَأَسْلَمُوا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ
[Machine] He is called Ibn Al-Hayban, so he stayed with us and by Allah, we have never seen a man who does not pray the five prayers better than him. He came to us two years before the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Whenever we suffered from drought and rain became scarce, we would say to him, "O Ibn Al-Hayban, go out and supplicate for rain for us." He would say, "No, I swear by Allah, until you give charity before you leave." We would ask, "How much should we give?" He would say, "A sa' of dates or a measurement of barley." Then he would go out to a high point in our land and we would be with him, and he would supplicate for rain. By Allah, he would not leave his gathering until the valleys overflowed with water. He did that not once, not twice, not three times. Then his death came, and we gathered around him. He said, "O Jewish people, what do you think? He has taken me out from the land of wine and intoxication to the land of hardship and hunger?" We said, "You know best." He said, "Indeed, He has taken me out because I anticipated the coming out of a Prophet, and this land is the place of his Hijrah. I will follow him, so do not precede him when he comes out, O Jewish people, because he will shed blood, take captives, and enslave women of those who oppose him. Do not let that prevent you from following him." Then he died. On the night when the Battle of the Trench started, those three young men, who were young and active, said to the Jewish people, "Remember Ibn Al-Hayban?" They asked, "What about him?" They said, "Yes, by Allah, it is him, O Jewish people. He is truly him in appearance." Then they descended and embraced Islam, abandoning their wealth, children, and families. Their wealth was in the fortress with the polytheists, and when it was conquered, it was returned to them.

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ waged war against Thaqif. When he heard that, Sakhr mounted his horse and pursued the Prophet ﷺ , but he found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had left and not conquered. So Sakhr made a covenant with Allah and pledged not to leave this palace until they descended upon the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He did not leave them until they descended upon the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . then Sakhr wrote to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Thaqif has descended upon your rule, and I am coming to them while they are on horses." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded a congregational prayer and supplicated for Ahmas ten times: "O Allah, bless Ahmas, his horses and men." The people came and Al-Mughirah spoke, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! My aunt was captured and she entered into what the Muslims entered into." So he called her and said: "O Sakhr! When the people become Muslims, they preserve their lives and their wealth. Return the captive to Al-Mughirah." So he returned her to him. The Prophet ﷺ asked: "Why didn't the people of Bani Sulaim who had apostated from Islam but left this water remained?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! Descend them upon me and my people." He said: "Yes." So he put them in and they became Muslims. They came to Sakhr and asked him to give them their water but he refused. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have become Muslims and we came to Sakhr to give us our water but he refused." So he called him and said: "O Sakhr! When the people become Muslims, they preserve their lives and their wealth. Return the water to the people." He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So it was narrated that the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed colour, reflecting his shyness about receiving the maid and the water. As for the aunt of Al-Mughirah, if she became Muslim after she was captured, then it is as if her Islam was seen before the distribution. So she safeguards her wealth. It is also possible that she became Muslim before she was captured. And Allah knows best. This Sakhr is Ibn Al-Ayla. It was narrated by Al-Bukhari from Abu Nu'aim from Aban from Uthman bin Abi Hazim from Sakhr bin Al-Ayla. He did not attribute it to his father. It was also narrated in the story of Ria'at Al-Suhaymiyah, which is clearly indicated by the story of the aunt of Al-Mughirah. He became Muslim and then he said: "O Messenger of Allah! My family and my wealth!" He said: "As for your wealth, it has been divided among the Muslims, and as for your family, look to those among them whom you are able to overpower." So his son responded to him, and it is also possible that he distributed the spoils among the wealthy themselves, as he did with the captives of Hawazin and compensated the people with their share. And Allah knows best. The chain of narration of the two Hadith is not strong.
