Three days before reaching Medina, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
halted the caravan and divided the prisoners and spoils of war between his
followers; each companion received an equal share.
NEWS OF THE VICTORY:
When Zayd and Abdullah reached Medina the news of the Prophet's victory
spread like wild-fire throughout the City and there was great thanksgiving and
rejoicing among the Muslims. However, the hypocrites, idolaters and Jews of the
tribes of Nadir, Krayzah and Kaynuka were greatly dismayed. All had hoped for
the destruction of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his
companions so that their way of life would return once more to how it had been
before his arrival in Medina.
Ka'b, the son of Ashraf had been born of a Jewish mother and an idolatrous Arab
from the tribe of Tayy. On account of his mother being a Jewess, the Jews
accepted him as one of their own into the tribe of Nadir. Ka'b was wealthy and
known as a poet -- a status much sought after in Arabia -- and over the years he
had become an influential tribesman of the Nadir. When he first heard the news
halted the caravan and divided the prisoners and spoils of war between his
followers; each companion received an equal share.
