EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an incident that occurred during the time of Prophet Muhammad's rule in Medina. It is reported that he ordered to burn down the date palms of a tribe called Banu Nadir who were plotting against him and his followers. This was done as a punishment for their actions and to ensure justice was served. The burning of these date palms was meant to be a warning for other tribes not to act in similar ways or else they would face similar consequences. This hadith teaches us about justice and how it should be upheld even if it means punishing those who have wronged us or our community. It also teaches us that we should not take matters into our own hands but instead rely on Allah's judgement and trust in His wisdom when dealing with difficult situations like this one.
