What was revealed concerning the trench and Banū Qurayẓa
[ مَا نَزَلَ فِي الْخَنْدَقِ وَبَنِيَّ قُرَيْظَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي أَمْرِ الْخَنْدَقِ، وَأَمْرِ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ، الْقِصَّةَ فِي سُورَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ، يَذْكُرُ فِيهَا مَا نَزَلَ مِنْ الْبَلَاءِ، وَنِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَكِفَايَتِهِ إيَّاهُمْ حِينَ فَرَّجَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ، بَعْدَ مَقَالَةِ مَنْ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النِّفَاقِ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ جَاءَتْكُمْ جُنُودٌ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا وَجُنُودًا لَمْ تَرَوْهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا وَالْجُنُودُ قُرَيْشٌ وَغَطَفَانُ وَبَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ، وَكَانَتْ الْجُنُودُ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَعَ الرِّيحِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: إِذْ جَاءُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظُّنُونَ فَاَلَّذِينَ جَاءُوهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ بَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ، وَاَلَّذِينَ جَاءُوهُمْ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُمْ قُرَيْشٌ وَغَطَفَانُ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ( تَبَارَكَ و ) تَعَالَى: هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوا زِلْزَالًا شَدِيدًا وَإِذْ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا لِقَوْلِ مُعَتِّبِ بْنِ قُشَيْرٍ إذْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ وَإِذْ قَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِنْ يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا لِقَوْلِ أَوْسِ بْنِ قَيْظِيٍّ وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَقْطَارِهَا أَيْ الْمَدِينَةِ
Translation
✧ Ibn Isḥāq said: And God Almighty revealed concerning the matter of the trench and the matter of Banū Qurayẓah from the Qurʾān the story in Sūrat al-Aḥzāb, mentioning therein what came down of trial, and His favour upon them, and His sufficing them when He relieved them of that, after the saying of those of the people of hypocrisy who said: “O you who believe, remember God’s favour upon you when hosts came against you, and We sent against them a wind and hosts you did not see; and God sees what you do.” The hosts were Quraysh, Ghaṭafān, and Banū Qurayẓah; and the hosts which God sent against them with the wind were the angels. God Almighty says: “When they came against you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes swerved and the hearts reached the throats, and you were thinking thoughts about God. Then those who came against them from above them were Banū Qurayẓah, and those who came against them from below them were Quraysh and Ghaṭafān. God (Blessed and) Almighty says: “There the believers were tried, and shaken with a mighty shaking. And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is sickness said: ‘God and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion’” — for the saying of Muʿattib b. Qushayr when he said what he said — “and when a party of them said: ‘O people of Yathrib, there is no standing for you, so return’; and a group of them asked leave of the Prophet, saying: ‘Our houses are exposed,’ though they were not exposed; they desired nothing but flight” — for the saying of Aws b. Qayẓī and those of his people who were of his opinion — “and if it had been entered upon them from its sides” — that is, the city.
