Context of Revelation
When the Prophet (s) immigrated to Medina, made treaties with the Jews there, i.e. Banu Nadir, Banu Qurayda and Banu Qaynuqa' tribes. But, Banu Nadir broke the treaty by making some plots including the following ones:
- Alliance of Ka'b b. Ashraf (the chief of Jews) with Abu Sufyan for killing the Prophet (s) after the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (s) received the news of which through revelation.
- Plot of 'Amr b. Jihash of Banu Nadir for the assassination of the Prophet (s).
- Composing satirical poems and insulting the Prophet (s).
After all these plots, an army of Muslims besieged the strong fortress of Banu Nadir for several days and set the palms around the fortress on fire and destroyed them; so, Jews had to surrender and Muslims won without war. After this victory, the Prophet (s) suggested that the Jews leave Medina and take some of their properties and a part of them were destroyed. Some of Jews went to Adhra'at of Syria and few of them went to Khaybar and al-Hira.[10] (See: Battle of Banu Nadir)

- ↑It is He who expelled the faithless belonging to the People of the Book from their homes at the outset of [their] en masse banishment. You did not think that they would go out, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from Allah. But Allah came at them from whence they did not reckon and He cast terror into their hearts. They demolish their houses with their own hands and the hands of the faithful. So take lesson, O you who have insight! (Qur'an 59:2)

(11) Surely, if they were expelled they would not go out with them, and if they were fought against they would not help them, and were they to help them they would surely turn their backs [to flee] and then they would not be helped.
