Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) part 27 :
More Mutiny as Charter members cause dispute(Part B) :
The Bani An-Nadir had now behaved in the same way as Bani Qainuqa'. They had likewise, knowingly and publicly, disregarded the terms of the Charter(agreement). The Prophet(ﷺ) sent them a message similar to that which was sent to their brothers, the Qainuqa'. Then, relying on the assistance of the Hypocrites' party, returned for a uncooperative reply. After a siege(blockade) of fifteen days, they sued for terms. The Muslims renewed their previous offer, and the Jews of An Nadir chose to execute Medina.
They were allowed to take with them all their movable property, with the exception of their arms. Before leaving Medina, they destroyed all their dwellings in immovable property and arms which they could not carry away with them were distributed by the Prophet(ﷺ) with the consent of the Ansar and the Emigrants. A principle was henceforth adopted that any acquisition(asset) not made in actual warfare should belong to that state and that its distribution should be left to the judgement of the ruling authorities.
Almighty Allah said: "(And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking Bounties from Allah and to please Him. And helping Allah (helping His Religion) and His Messenger (Muhammad). Such are indeed the truthful (to what we say); and those who, before them, had homes (in Al Madina) and had
adopted the Faith, love, those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given (from the booty of Bani An Nadir), and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own stinginess, such are they who will be the successful." (Surat Al-Hashr 59:8-9 Quran)

The exclusion of the Bani An-Nadir took place in the fourth year of the hijrah. The remaining portion of this year and the early part of the next were passed in repressing the hostile attempts of the nomadic tribes against the Muslims and inflicting punishment for various murderous attacks on the Medinite territories. Of this nature was the journey against the Christian Arabs of Dumat Al Jandal (a place about seven days' journey to the south of Damascus), who had stopped the Medinites traffic with Syria and even threatened a raid upon Medina. These pirates/raiders, however, fled on the approach of the Muslims, and the Prophet(ﷺ) returned to Medina after concluding a treaty with a neighboring chief, to whom he granted permission of pasturage(land used for bulky food like grass or hay for browsing or grazing horses or cattle) in the Medinite territories.
In sha Allah, will be continued. {Ref : Stories of Prophets by Ibn Kathir(rahimahullah)}
