Amr, Su'ads son, had been against breaking the pact right from the start and openly
declared that he would not take part in its breaking. He now offered his fellow Jews a
solution, but said he was unsure whether or not the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
would accept it. Amr suggested that they offer the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
a form of tax in exchange for their freedom. Like Ka'bs suggestions his was also
rejected. That night, Amr left the fortress alone and made his way to Medina where he
spent the night in the Mosque. What happened to him afterwards is unknown however,
the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) told his Companions that Amr was
a man whom Allah saved on account of his loyalty.
Sometime before the siege, the three sons of Hadl, who was the brother of Krayzah
himself, had come to the fortresses to visit relatives. They had been students of the
elderly Syrian Jew, the son of Hayyaban, who had spoken so many times of the signs
that would announce the coming the a new Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam). They
remembered well his words and reminded their fellow Jews with them, but as before,
their words fell on deaf ears. When they realized they would never be convinced, they
decided to slip away in the still of the night and embrace Islam. As they left the fortress
they told the Muslim guards of their intent and were guided to the camp.
