them standing on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)

The Prophet (ﷺ) burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit said the following poetic
Verses about this event:-- "the terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By the
nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the
Prophet's cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far
from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-
Buwaira). Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 81
