Was prophet Muhammed fair to kick out a whole tribe and take their lands and money based on accusations?
I read that prophet Muhammed (PBUH) kicked a complete tribe (Banu Nadir) out of their lands and took over all their possessions, lands , and money. His only reason was that two men of that tribe were planning to kill him while visiting them to lend him money. None of his companions, who were sitting with him, saw anything. Banu nadir also denied such an accusation. The only ground that prophet Muhammed had to kick them out was his own accusations, which he said was revealed from god. My question is: even if those two men were trying to kill him (although nobody saw them, even his own companions), was the punishment supposed to be for the whole tribe? and what was the reason to take over tehir lands and money? I hope if anyone wants to answer to give me a short answer right to the point. This time I am not giving any references, but you can read the whole story in Bukhary. I am just trying to teach lazy people to do some homework.

- it reminds me of the "white men" who took land from the Native Americans and forced them to live in substandard conditions on reservations. Hmm...
- i am morehamonmehead do you all have faith in me
- in fact, THIS is a seriously brilliant question. and the answer is: "HELL, NO!" that was one of those completely sketchy, *highly* questionable deals. this is something that would not fly even in the most corrupt US court, as of today... which has got to tell ya somethin', doesn't it...
- YOU SHOULD VISIT THIS SITE: http://www.islamanswering.com/ I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT LAZY, SO I DON'T GIVE YOU THE ANSWER I SEND YOU THERE WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT GOOD LUCK
- try to read more about the background of all the problems between him and this tribe,don't just read any story without knowing its background.
- Direct answers to your question would be that The plan to kill prophet was a secret one ( meaning its not logical for anyone else to know apart from Allah which was revealed to the prophet for which he took action) The punishment for the tribe has several other root causes like the "Killing Plot" and aiding with other tribes to wage war on Muslims (who are in agreement to protect them) "NOT ONLY THE PLOT TO KILL" like you mentioned This qualifies that they are at war with Muslims at which point they were granted safe passage out of Medina (with permission to carry anything they need in their camels) Allah has made law full what was left over of war in this case which were taken by the Muslims = This is a short answer given that you know very well the story behind (and the rule of war in Islam and position of Allah)if you need further clarity please let me know
- I read this story and yes the prophet kicked them out and he allowed them to leave safely on condition that every three persons share a camel and they are only allowed to take what a camel can carry. Muslims took over everything left + all other camels + all lands.
- save us the time, tell us that you are right after doing your own research once again :)
