The Tribe of An-Nadir Declare War
It was now Rabi‟ Al-Awwal 4H (August 625 CE). Word of the ultimatum spread through
the tribe and preparations were in progress for their departure when a message was
received from Abdullah, Ubayy‟s son that promised his support and encouraged them to
stay. Huyay was greatly heartened by the promise and convinced his people to stay.
With high hopes, Huyay sent word to his cousins, the tribe of Krayzah, and asked them
to lend their support, for he was confident they would not let him down, and at the same
time he sent word to their allies, the tribe of Ghatfan, known for their hostility toward the
Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) to come to their aid.
Allah says:
“Have you not seen the hypocrites?
They say to their brothers among the People of the Book who disbelieve,
'If they expel you, we will go with you.
