ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB
The rest of Khaibar also fell to the Muslims. Allâh cast fear into the hearts of the people of
Fadak, a village standing to the north of Khaibar, and they hastened to ask for peace,
and be allowed to leave in safety, and give up their wealth in return for that. The Prophet
[pbuh] entered into an agreement with them similar to the previous one with the people
of Khaibar. Fadak was exclusively the Prophet’s because neither Muslim cavalry nor
camelry were involved in fight thereby.
No sooner had the Prophet [pbuh] discharged the affair of Khaibar than he started a
fresh move towards Wadi Al-Qura, another Jewish colony in Arabia. He mobilized his
forces and divided them into three regiments with four banners entrusted to Sa‘d bin
‘Ubada, Al-Hubab bin Mundhir, ‘Abbad bin Bishr and Sahl bin Haneef. Prior to fighting, he
invited the Jews to embrace Islam but all his words and exhortations fell on deaf ears.
Eleven of the Jews were killed one after another and with each one newly killed, a fresh
call was extended inviting those people to profess the new faith. Fighting went on
ceaselessly for approximately two days and resulted in full surrender of the Jews. Their
land was conquered, and a lot of booty fell in the hands of the Muslims.

The Prophet [pbuh] stayed in Wadi Al-Qura for four days, distributed the booty among
the Muslim fighters and reached an agreement with the Jews similar to that of Khaibar.
[Za'd Al-Ma'ad 2/146, 147]
The Jews of Taima’, hearing beforehand about the successive victories of the Muslim
army and the defeats that their brethren, the Jews, had sustained, showed no resistance
when the Prophet [pbuh] reached their habitation. On the contrary, they took the
initiative and offered to sign a reconciliation treaty to the effect that they receive
protection but pay tribute in return. Having achieved his objective and subdued the
Jews completely, the Prophet [pbuh] made his way back home and arrived in Madinah
in late Safar or early Rabi‘ Al-Awwal 7 A.H.
It is noteworthy that the Prophet [pbuh], being the best amongst war experts, realized
quite readily that evacuating Madinah after the lapse of the prohibited months
(Muharram, Dhul Qa‘da and Dhul Hijja) would not be wise at all with the presence of the
desert bedouins roaming in its vicinity. Such a careless attitude, the Prophet [pbuh]
believed, would tempt the undisciplined mob to practise their favourite hobby of
plundering, looting and all acts of piracy. This premonition always in mind, the Prophet
[pbuh] despatched Aban bin Sa‘id at the head of a platoon to deter those bedouins
and forestall any attempt at raiding the headquarters of the nascent Islamic state during
his absence in Khaibar. Aban achieved his task successfully and joined the Prophet
[pbuh] in Khaibar after it had been conquered.
