Sunan Ibn Majah 2844 (Book 24, Hadith 92) #32198
The Burning of Palm Trees

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir and cut down Buwairah, and Allah revealed a verse in response.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir, and cut down Buwairah (the name of their garden). Then Allah revealed the words: "What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing". 59:5
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَرَّقَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَعَ ‏.‏ وَهِيَ الْبُوَيْرَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً }‏ الآيَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an incident that occurred during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir, which was a tribe that lived near Medina at the time. He also cut down their garden called Buwairah. In response to this action, Allah revealed a verse from the Quran which reads “What you [O Muslims] cut down of the palm trees [of the enemy], or you left them standing” [ 59:5 ]. This verse serves as a reminder to Muslims that they should not take any action without consulting Allah first and seeking His guidance in all matters. It also teaches us to be mindful when dealing with our enemies and not to act out of anger or revenge but rather with wisdom and justice.
