Al Hamdulillah, the Battle of Khybar was successful despite the formidable,
well-fortified forts. Many of its inhabitants surrendered, some were killed
and others taken captive. However, the Prophet, praise and veneration be
upon him, in his mercy, allowed many Jewish families to retain their homes
and tend their famous date groves and keep some of its produce whilst
arranging for a Muslim army to protect them as they felt insecure. However,
there was the understanding that the Prophet, praise and veneration be
upon him, could take the properties away from them if they started to rebel.
The poisoned lamb:
A Jew, by the name of Salaam, had been slain during the Battle of Khybar
and his wife sought to take revenge. She knew that Prophet Muhammad,
praise and veneration be upon him, never refused the invitation of anyone,
so she invited him and his companions to a meal.
In preparation for the meal, Salaam's wife slaughtered a lamb, then, as she
prepared it, smeared it with poison, paying particular attention to its
shoulders, as she had heard that the Prophet, praise and veneration be
well-fortified forts. Many of its inhabitants surrendered, some were killed
and others taken captive. However, the Prophet, praise and veneration be
