Battle of Khandaq: Difference between revisions

Being exiled by the Prophet (s) owing to their disloyalty, [[Banu Nadir]] tribe went to [[Khaybar]] and instigated other Jews to arrange a war against Muslims. This could be the chief cause of the war. After that, some Jews from Banu Nadir and [[Banu Wa'il]] such as; Huyyay b Akhtab, Salam b. Abi l-Huqayq, Kinanah b. Rabi', Hawdhat b. Qays, Abu 'Ammar al-Wa'ili, went to [[Mecca]] and encouraged [[Abu Sufyan]] and Quraysh to begin a war against Prophet Muhammad (s). Abu Sufyan accepted their plan with open arms, thus Jews and Quraysh got unified. As following plans, Jews mentioned earlier met Ghatafan tribe, led by 'Uyniyyat ibn Hisn al-Fazari. They persuaded them to take part in the war by promising to provide them with one-year date. Then, they visited Banu Sulaym ibn Mansur and convinced them as well.
