Battle of Khaibar

From the book · p. 58

In brief· the site’s own summary, not the book’s words

The Banu Nadheer, who had settled in Khaibar after being sent away from Madinah, were stirring up the nearby tribes against the Muslims. So in Muharram or Jumadul-Ula 7 A.H., Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with six hundred Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them), and after a battle Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) gave the Muslims all the forts. Ali رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) lifted the door of Khaibar, which seventy men could not move, and became known as its conqueror. Under the treaty, the Banu Nadheer could stay in Khaibar as long as the Muslims allowed, and had to hand over part of their crops.

Context (the site’s note) · Khaibar is an oasis about 150 km north of Madinah.

Accounts differThe book dates Khaibar to “Muharram or Jumadul-Ula 7 A.H.”, and reports from “some narrations” that Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) used the door as a shield.

When the Banu Nadheer were banished from Madinah, they settled in Khaibar. They began inciting the neighbouring tribes to fight against the Muslims. There was a need to take control over their base and to destroy their power. That is why in or 7 , ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) and six hundred رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) left for Khaibar. Four hundred Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) were on foot and two hundred were mounted.

Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) granted the Muslims victory after a battle and they gained control over all the forts of the Jews.

Ali رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) played a significant role in this and lifted the door of Khaibar himself whereas seventy men were unable to even shake it. For this reason, he was known as the conqueror of Khaibar. It appears in some narrations that Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) used this door as a shield. The following conditions were laid down in the treaty with the Banu Nadheer:

They will remain in Khaibar as long as the Muslims permitted and when the Muslims wished to remove them they would have to move.
A portion of their crops should be handed over to the Muslims.
