عَنْ نَافِعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَرَّقَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَّعَ وَهِيَ الْبُوَيْرَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الْفَاسِقِينَ [سورة الحشر: ٥]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) burned and cut down the date palms of Banu Nadir at the place of Buwaira. Regarding this, Allah Almighty said: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِینَۃٍ أَ وْ تَرَکْتُمُوْہَا قَائِمَۃً عَلَی أُصُولِہَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللّٰہِ وَلِیُخْزِیَ الْفَاسِقِینَ} … Whatever date palm tree you cut down, or left standing on its roots, it was by Allah’s permission and so that He might disgrace the disobedient.
