Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had some of the date-palm trees of Banu Nadir cut down and some burned. On this occasion, Sayyiduna Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) recited these verses: "It became easy for the chiefs and nobles of Banu Lu’ayy (i.e., Quraysh) that the orchard of Buwairah is engulfed in flames." And regarding this, Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Whatever you cut down of [their] palm trees or left standing on their trunks, it was by permission of Allah and so He would disgrace the defiantly disobedient." (__QUR_N__ al-Hashr: 5).
