Medina. Throughout the night Ali led his brethren praising and exalting Allah, the hours
slipped away, and soon the sky began to lighten, it was time to offer the Fajr prayer.
There was still no sign of the help the Jews so confidently relied upon. Unknown to
Huyay and his tribe, their cousins from the tribe of Krayzah were not inclined to break
their pact with the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam). As for Abdullah Ubayy‟ son, the
circumstances were such that he reneged upon his promise, and so Huyay continued to
wait in vain for their arrival together with the expected support from the tribe of Ghatfan.
Later on that morning the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) returned to his
Companions and fighting broke out once more. The days passed and Huyay's hopes
turned into fear. Ten days later, the Angel Gabriel brought the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi
wa sallam) a new verse:
"Whatever palm-tree you cut down or left standing upon its roots,
it is by the permission of Allah,
so that He might humiliate the impious."
Koran 59:5
