Medina

In Rabi' I 4 AH (August 625 CE), following Banu al-Nadir's attempt to assassinate the Prophet ﷺ by dropping a millstone and their conspiracy with the hypocrites, the Muslims besieged their fortresses for six nights until they surrendered and were exiled to Khaybar and Syria, leaving behind weapons and heavy armour. وعند البخاري يروي عمر أن أرض بني النضير كانت من صفايا النبي «حبساً لنوائبه» فأبقاها صدقة بعد موته، وفيها خصومة العباس وعلي عند عمر ¹.
