A PLOT TO KILL THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him
A time came when the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, needed the help of his
Jewish allies, the tribe of Nadir, so its chieftains invited the Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him. and several of his companions to a meal to discuss the matter.
The meal was poisoned, but before the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ate of
it, the Angel Gabriel came and warned him of their treachery. As soon as the angel left,
the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. arose and left the gathering. His
companions waited a while then excused themselves and returned to his house.
Soon after, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. sent word to his would be
assassins that he knew of their attempt to murder him. They were astounded when the
messenger repeated their exact words of intent to them, as they were the only ones
who knew about it. The Prophet's message concluded with the statement that their
treaty with him no longer existed and that he gave them ten days to leave Medina. He
warned that anyone remaining after that time would be beheaded.
