Muhammad (PBUH) rushed to
Khaybar with army of companions (R.A.).
According to a Scottish historian William Montgomery Watt the
reasons for this attack were the presence of a tribe called Banu Nadir.
These tribal people were instigating other Arab tribes to attack Muslims.
They themselves were also persecuting and harassing Muslims. The Muslims attacked Jews who had already made themselves safe in a fort.
Various respectable companions (R.A.) tried to win this battle but it was Ali (r.a.) who became the victor of Khaybar. During this battle he exhibited Supernatural force and strength including eliminating the known enemy warriors single
handedly and also lifting the huge gate of one of the forts single handedly.
The battle begins:
Muslims shocked and surprised the Jews by suddenly appearing at their forts. The Prophet (PBUH) gave them a chance to surrender. But they laughed at this offer. Out of arrogance they declared that their forts are impenetrable and they are sure that they will punish the Muslims. They shut down the gates of the forts and Muslims started the siege of these forts.
