The Holy Prophet™ had come to know about their secret plan which they were concealing under the guile of showing extraordinary hospitality to the Holy Prophet" and his Companions". The Banu Naḍir were shocked to find out that the Holy Prophet" knew of their secret plans. The Holy. Prophet sent a message to Banu Naḍir that they must leave the town within ten days which is the punishment for their breaking the covenant by planning to kill him. However, their leader, Ḥuyyay bin Akhtab responded that they would not leave their houses and possessions. When the ultimatum of ten days passed without any action taken by the Banū Naḍīr with regards to leaving the town, the Muslims besieged them. Soon, the. Banu Nadir realized that they could not break the siege and defeat the. Muslims. Accordingly, they sent a message to the Holy Prophet" agreeing to surrender and requesting safe-passage to leave.

Banu Qainuqā' was one of the three largest Jewish tribes of. Medina. Like other tribes they also had signed an agreement with the. Muslims which had granted them freedom and security.

The Holy Prophet sent a deputation to their leaders reminding them of their obligations under the agreement they had made with the Muslims and told them to stop provoking the Muslims. . Instead of accepting the plea of curtailing their annoying activities they behaved more arrogantly. This left no choice for the Holy Prophet" but to meet the challenge head on. Accordingly, the Muslims besieged the fort of. Banu Qainuqā'. The siege lasted for fifteen days. Then, they surrendered to the Muslims. After their defeat, the Muslims had two options: either to enslave them or to have mercy on them and let them live like before. It was decided that they should be deported without their weapons. When it was announced, they obeyed the order and left Medina and moved to another town. sa 185
