How
many instances are there in which we are left bewildered by the Wisdom of
Allaah and how He Controls the provisions of His Slaves where wealth gets exchanged
from one person to another in a matter of a few moments?
About
Banoo Quraythaa, Allaah, the Most High, Says:
“And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and
their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allah is Able
to do all things.” [al-Ahzaab 33:27]
Banoo Quraytha had a pact with the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be upon him], however in this particular battle, the level of fear and desperation reached its peak. They were faced by the enemy from all directions.
The Quraysh, Banee Ghatafaan and their allies from the Arabs had gathered and
surrounded al-Madeenah. From within, the hypocrites and the Jews were plotting
and planning against the Muslims also.
Within the midst of this standoff with
the Mushriks, the Jews from inside al-Madeenah broke their pact and proved treacherous. Added to all of this, the nights were long and cold as it occurred
during the winter. Not only did they have rations in their provisions, but
their morale and ability was severely tested.
The Aid of Allaah came upon them
all of a sudden - a cold, barren wind was sent upon Quraysh and their allies
and they were forced to disperse. Once this threat had ceased, the Prophet and
his Companions were then able to focus their attention to the Jews who had
broken their treaty. They surrounded Banee Quraythaa, and without even a
battle, just as they were surrounded by the Muhsriks of Arabia, they went into
Banee Quraytha and took the wealth and the riches of the Jews without a single
skirmish.
The Muslims from a sense of weakness were given power and honour in a
matter of moments. The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon] asked
the leader of Ansaar, Sa’d bin Mu’aadth [may Allaah be Pleased with him] to
make a ruling on their captives.
“And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and
their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allah is Able
to do all things.” [al-Ahzaab 33:27]
