Now that the Muslims were shut in within the Trench on the defensive, the hypocrites taunted them with having induldged in false hopes of defeating Kisra, emperor of Persia, and Ceaser, emperor of the Romans.. They began to sow the seeds of defeatism, and pretended to withdraw for the defense of their homes, though these were in no way exposed to danger..

Here, Allaah says: 'And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts) said: 'Allaah and His Messenger *Sallal Laahu 3Alayhe Wasallam* promised us nothing but delusions!' And when a party of them said: 'O people of Yathrib *Madeenah* there is no stand (possible) for you (against the enemy attack) therefore go back!' And a band of them asked for permission of the Prophet *Sallal Laahu 3Alayhe Wasallam* And they lay not open.. They but wished to flee..'

Nabee Sallal Laahu 3Alayhe Wasallam wrapped himself in his robe and began to meditate on the treachery of Banu Qurayzah.. The spirit of hopefulness prevailed over him and he rose to his feet saying: 'Allaah is Most Great! Listen O Muslims, to Allaah's good tidings of victory and support..'

Nabee Sallal Laahu Alayhe Wasallam then started to lay decisive plans at protecting the women and children, and send some fighters back to Madeenah to guard them against any surprise attacks by the enemy.. The 2nd step was to take action that could lead to undermining the ranks of the disbelieving Confederates.. There he had in mind to conclude a sort of reconciliation with the chiefs of Ghatafaan, on the basis donating 1/3 of Madeenah's fruit crops..

He sought the advice of his chief Companions, namely, Sa3aad bin Mu3aadh and Sa3ad bin Ubaadah Radheyal Laahu Anhum, who replied: 'O Rasoolul Laah! If it is Allaah's Order, then we have to obey, but if it is a new course you want follow just to provide security for us, then we dont ned it.. We experienced those people in polytheism and idolatry, and we can safely say that they dont need the fruit from our orchrds, they rather need to exterminate us completely..

Now that Allaah has honourd us with Islaam, I believe that the best option in this situation is to put them to the sword..' Thereupon Nabee Sallal Laahu Alayhe Wasallam corrected their view saying: 'It is only something being done for you, after I saw that the Arabs are shooting you with an arrow from a unified bow..' Allaah, The Glorious and Exalted, Praise is to Him, created something that led to the conflict between the enemies of Islaam and later on to their full defeat..

A man from the Ghatafaan, Nu3aim bin Mas3ood, came to Nabee Sallal Laahu Alayhe Wasallam and declared that he had embraced Islaam secretly, and asked Nabee Sallal Laahu Aalayhe Wasallam to order him do anything that might benefit the Muslims.. Nabee Sallal Laahu Alayhe Wasallam asked him to do anything that could help the Muslims.. The man shuttled between the Jews, the Quraysh and the Ghatafan, and managed to incite each party to let the other down..

He went to see the chiefs of Banu Qurayzah, and whispered in their ears not to trust the Quraysh nor fight along with them unless the latter promised to give them some captives.. He tried to lend support to his counsel by claiming that the Quraysh would turn away from them, if they perceived that victory over Nabee Sallal Laahu Alayhe Wasallm was not possible, and Muslims then will target them for revenge..

Nu3aym Radheyal Laahu Anhu then headed for the camp of Quraysh and said said something else for similar results.. He claimed that the Jews regretted breaching their covenant with the Muslims.. He told them that the Jews maintained regular correspondence with the Muslims that Qurayd*mna hostages be sent to the camp of the Muslims with full Jewish allegiance paid to them as already agreed upon..

Nu3aym Radheyal Laahu Anhu then encouraged th Quraysh not to send hostages to the Jews.. As a third task, he did the same with the Ghatafan..
