Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) burned the trees of Banu Nadir and cut down some of them which were in Buwairah, this verse was revealed: "Whatever you cut down of palm trees or left standing on their trunks, it was by Allah's permission..." (Surah Al-Hashr: 5)
