Prelude to the Encounter at the Trench
The Revenge of the Tribe of An-Nadir
As the fifth year drew to a close, the expelled Jews from the tribe of An-Nadir who had
relocated to Khaybar a little over two years before became more restless than ever.
Every time there had been an incident or skirmish they hoped it would go against the
Muslims.
There had been talk for a long time that the Koraysh were bent on revenge and planned
to rid themselves of Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) and his followers.
With this in mind, Huyay -- who had been the chief conspirator in the failed attempt to kill
the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) -- together with the chieftains of Khaybar and
the hierarchy of the An-Nadir, journeyed across the hot pebbled desert sands to Mecca
to progress the matter. The Jews themselves had amassed a large arsenal of weapons
and armor but were too cowardly to challenge the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
alone.
