And when the news of their lack of understanding was a claim that was indicated by an observable matter, he said: "Like the example of" meaning their story in their lack of comprehension, rather their intellect which resulted in their expulsion and what it caused of their deceit and treachery, and their reliance on Ibn Ubayy and those with him from the hypocrites, is like the example of the story of "those before them." And when the inclusion of the neighbor, along with its indication of the lack of encompassing the time of the past, indicates the proximity of the time, he clarified it by saying: "Soon." They are as Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Banu Qaynuqa from the people of their religion, the Jews, displayed great strength when the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, approached them after the Battle of Badr. He admonished them and warned them of the punishment of Allah. They said: "Do not let it deceive you, O Muhammad, that you encountered a people who are ignorant and have no knowledge of war, and you struck them. By Allah, if you had fought us, you would have known that we are the people." Then they plotted against a woman from the Muslims, wanting to uncover her face, but she refused. They tied the end of her garment under her veil, and when she stood, her private parts were exposed. She screamed, and a person from the companions, may Allah be pleased with them, became angry for her and killed the Jew who had tied her garment, and they killed him. Thus, their pact was broken. The Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, sent the armies of Allah against them, and Allah humiliated them. They descended from their fortress to his judgment, and they had been allies of Ibn Ubayy. It did not benefit them at all, except that he asked the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, not to kill them and insisted until he refrained from killing them. So they left the noble city by themselves without being forced to exile.
