It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ordered the date-palms of Banu Nadir to be burnt and cut. These palms were at Buwaira. Qutaibah and Ibn Rumh in their versions of the tradition have added: So Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed the verse: "Whatever trees you have cut down or left standing on their trunks, it was with the permission of Allah so that He may disgrace the evil-doers" (lix. 5).

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (RA) that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) caused the date-palms of Banu Nadir to be cut down and burnt. It is in this connection that Hassan (the poet) said: It was easy for the nobles of Quraish to burn Buwaira whose sparks were flying in all directions. in the same connection was revealed the Qur'anic verse: "Whatever trees you have cut down or left standing on their trunks."

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) burnt the date-palms of Banu Nadir.
