ابنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ قُرَيْظَةُ , وَالنَّضِيرُ وَكَانَ النَّضِيرُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ رَجُلًا مِنْ النَّضِيرِ قُتِلَ بِهِ ، وَإِذَا قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ النَّضِيرِ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ أَدَّى مِائَةَ وَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ النَّضِيرِ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ ، فَقَالُوا : ادْفَعُوهُ إِلَيْنَا نَقْتُلْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَوْهُ , فَنَزَلَتْ : وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ سورة المائدة آية 42 , وَالْقِسْطُ : النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ : أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ سورة المائدة آية 50 " .
´It was narrated from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, that Ibn 'Abbas said:` "There were (the two tribes of) Quraizah and An-Nadir, and An-Nadir was nobler than Quraiaah. If a man of Quraizah Killed a man of An-Nadir, he would be killed in return, but if a man of An-Nadir killed a man of Quraizah, he would pay a Diyah of one hundred Wasqs of dates. When An-Nadir killed a man of Quraizah, and they said: 'Hand him over to us and we will kill him.' They said: 'Between us and you (as judge) is the Prophet.' So they came to him, then the following was revealed: "And if you judge, judge with justice between them."[3] Al-Qisl (justice) means a soul for a soul. Then the following was revealed: "Do they then seek the judgment of (the days of) Ignorance?"[4]

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English Translation:
“In the translation, ‘between us and you,’ this has been attributed as the statement of Banu Qurayzah, but it could also be the statement of Banu Nadir, as instead of handing over the killer, they brought the matter for judgment to you. Their assumption was that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would also judge according to our traditions. This translation aligns more closely with the subsequent words, ‘Do they seek the judgment of ignorance?’ And Allah knows best.”
