It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) burned and cut down the date palms of the Buwaira orchard of Banu Nadir. Then Allah Almighty revealed these verses: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِینَۃٍ أَوْ تَرَکْتُمُوہَا قَائِمَۃً عَلٰی أُصُولِہَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللّٰہِ وَلِیُخْزِیَ الْفَاسِقِینَ} … Whatever date trees you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah’s command, and so that He might disgrace the transgressors. (Surah Al-Hashr: 5)
