The Concealed Treasures by Kinanah

The fortress of Kamus had been thought to be the safest fortress to house the Jewish
womenfolk and so they had remained there throughout the hostilities. Before the
hostilities Kinanah had secretly buried the treasures of his tribe in two places one
of
which was in a deserted area and the other some distance away in the trunk of fallen
palm tree.

The Muslims remembered well the excessive display of opulence the tribe of An-Nadir
made when they left Medina, and were quick to realize, as did some of the Jews, that
the wealth now being declared as being their total wealth was but a mere fraction.
Several Jews took Kinanah to one side and reminded him that the Prophet (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) was not a person who could be deceived and that there was no doubt
his hiding place would be discovered.
