The non-Muslims became aware of the strength and power of the Muslims within a short period of time. They realized that their strength was deeply rooted in hearts never short of sacrifice in the way of Islam, hearts that endured all types of pain and persecution, hearts that were always ready to give up life itself for Islam. There they were in Madinah enjoying their Deen and implementing its rules, a Deen that was reaching new heights each day with the Muslims feeling true contentment and happiness.

The enemies of Islam could not digest this, and signs of revulsion began to outwardly manifest themselves in the neighboring Jews. Their fears grew and they began to rethink and reconsider their position towards Muhammad (pbuh) and his Sahabah now that the Muslims were becoming unshakable and many people were responding to the call of Islam. The Jews were enraged by those amongst them who converted to Islam. They feared that Islam would infiltrate their ranks and spread among them and so they attacked Islam, its beliefs and rules. Heated argument and a war of nerves ensued between the Muslims and Jews, this was to develop into a much fiercer dispute than the Muslims had to endure with the Quraysh in Makkah.

Conspiracy, hypocrisy and their furtive knowledge of the former Prophets and Messengers were the main weapons used by the Jews in their intellectual war against Muhammad (pbuh) and his Sahabah. Some of their rabbis pretended to embrace Islam, sat with the Muslims and faked their piety. Soon they were to show signs of doubt and uncertainty by asking Muhammad (pbuh) questions in the hope of shaking the conviction of the Muslims in their ‘Aqeedah and the Message of Truth which Islam stood for.

The Jews were joined by a group of the ‘Aus and Khazraj who embraced Islam hypocritically in the hope of causing animosity and confusion amongst the Muslims. The argument between the Jews and Muslims turned into physi- cal confrontation at times despite the oath between them.

Wani misali bayyananne na taurin kai da ƙiyayyar Yahudawa ya bayyana ne a lokacin da Abu Bakr ya rasa natsuwarsa a wani lokaci, duk da cewa Abu Bakr mutum ne sananne da hikima, haƙuri da natsuwa a hali. An ruwaito cewa Abu Bakr ya kira wani Bayahude mai suna Finhas ya ji tsoron Allah ya karɓi Musulunci.

A vivid example of the Jewish stubbornness and hatred was reflected in Abu Bakr’s loss of temper on one occasion, bearing in mind that Abu Bakr was a man noted for his wisdom, patience and calm character. It is reported that Abu Bakr called on a Jew named Finhas to fear Allah and embrace Islam.

Finhas ya amsa da cewa, "Ba mu da talauci idan aka kwatanta mu da Allah, amma Shi yana kaskantar da kansa gare mu; mu ba mu bukatar Shi, alhali Shi yana bukatar mu. Da Shi ba mai bukatar mu ba ne, da ba zai nemi mu ba Shi rancen kudinmu ba, kamar yadda annabinku ke ikirarin, yana hana ku karbar riba, kuma yana halatta wa mu. Da Shi ba mai bukatar mu ba ne, da ba zai ba mu riba ba." Finhas yana nufin maganar Allah cewa,

Finhas replied, “We are not poor compared to Allah but He humbles Himself to us; we are independent of Him while He needs us. Were He independent of us He would not ask us to lend Him our money as your prophet pretends, prohibiting you to take interest and allowing us to. Had He been independent of us He would not have given us interest.” Finhas was referring to Allah’s I saying,

"Wane ne wanda zai ba Allah rance mai kyau, don Ya ninka masa shi ninkawa masu yawa?" [Al-Baqarah, 2:245].

“Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may give it increase manifold?” [Al-Baqarah, 2:245].

Abu Bakr ba zai iya rike fushinsa ba, ya yi fushi har ya buga Finhas a fuska, ya ce: "Ina rantsuwa da Wanda rayuwata ke hannunsa, da ba don yarjejeniyar da ke tsakaninmu ba, da na yanke maka kai, kai maƙiyin Allah!"

Abu Bakr could not control his anger, and was so enraged that he hit Finhas in the face and said, “By Him in whose hands my destiny rests, were it not for the treaty between us, I would cut off your head, you enemy of Allah!”.

Wannan rukunin Kiristoci suna tuntubar duka Musulmi da Yahudawa.

The argument between the Muslims and Jews became very heated and went on for quite sometime. Meanwhile, about sixty Christian riders from Najran arrived in Madinah. They must have heard about the animosity between the Jews and Muslims and hoped that the rift would deepen so that Christianity could come to reign and rid itself from both religions, which were both challenging it for supremacy according to their claims. This group of Christians were in touch with both the Muslims and the Jews.

Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ɗauke su, tare da Yahudawa, a matsayin "Mutanen Littafi", kuma ya kira su duka zuwa Musulunci. Ya karanta musu faɗar Allah,

Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) regarded them, together with the Jews, as ‘People of the Book’ and invited them both to Islam. He (pbuh) recited to them Allah’s I saying,

Ka ce (ya Muhammad ﷺ): "Ya ku mutanen Littafi (Yahudawa da Nasara): Ku zo zuwa ga kalma wadda take daidai tsakaninmu da ku, cewa ba za mu bauta wa kowa ba sai Allah, kuma ba za mu haɗa Shi da kowa ba, kuma wani ɓangarenmu ba zai riƙi wani ɓangare a matsayin ubangiji ba baya ga Allah." Idan kuma suka juya baya, to ku ce: "Ku shaida cewa mu Musulmai ne." [Al-Imran, 3:64].

“Say (O Muhammad): “O people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) : Come to a word that is just between us and you, That we worship none but Allah, and we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” [Al-Imran, 3:64].

Yahudawa da Nasara sun tambaye shi ﷺ game da annabawan da ya yi imani da su, sai ya karanta musu faɗar Allah:

The Jews and the Christians asked him (pbuh) about the Prophets he believed in and he recited to them Allah’s saying,

Ka ce: "Mun yi imani da Allah da abin da aka saukar mana, da abin da aka saukar wa Ibrahim, da Isma'il, da Ishaƙ, da Ya'aƙub, da Al-Asbat ('ya'yan Ya'aƙub goma sha biyu), da abin da aka bai wa Musa da Isa, da abin da aka bai wa Annabawa daga Ubangijinsu. Ba ma nuna bambanci tsakanin kowa daga cikinsu, kuma gare Shi muka mika kai (cikin Musulunci)." [Al-Baqara, 2:136].

“Say, “We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim, Isma’eel, Isaac, Jacob, and to Al-Asbat (twelve sons of Jacob), and that which has been given to Moses and Jesus, and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)” [Al-Baqarah, 2:136].

They could find nothing more to say to him. Their hearts would accept the evidence and the Truth was revealed, but they would not believe out of Debating the Jews and Christians fear for their positions, reputation and status, some of them in fact admitted this. It has been narrated that Abu Harithah, an individual from one of the Christian delegations from Najran and one of the most knowledgeable scholars, confessed to a friend that he was convinced by what Muhammad (pbuh) had said, and when his friend asked him what prevented him from believing, he replied, “The way these people (the Romans or Byzantines) treated us. They have given us titles, paid us subsidies, and honored us. But they are absolutely opposed to him, and if I were to accept him they would take from us all that you see.” This proved that what prevented them from true belief was pig-headedness, stubbornness, selfish and petty personal benefit and interest. Then the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) invited the Christians to a mutual invocation of a curse if they opposed him and he read to them Allah’s saying,

"Sa'an nan duk wanda ya yi jayayya da kai game da shi (Isa) bayan (duk wannan) ilimin da ya zo maka, Ka ce: "Ku zo, mu kira 'ya'yanmu da 'ya'yanku, matanmu da matanku, kanmu da kanku - sa'an nan mu yi addu'a mu roki la'nar Allah a kan masu karya." [Al-Imran, 3:61].

“Then whoever disputes with you concerning him (Jesus) after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, Say: “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” [Al-Imran, 3:61].

Sai Manzon Allah ﷺ ya aika Abu ‘Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah ya yi musu hukunci bisa Musulunci.

They took council among themselves after which they declared that they had decided not to resort to cursing and to leave him (pbuh) to his Deen while they would return to theirs. In addition to this they asked him to send a man whom he (pbuh) could trust to decide between them in certain financial matters in dispute among them. So the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) sent Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah to judge between them according to Islam.

The force of the Islamic Da’wah, the power of the Islamic belief and the strength of argument emanating as it did from the Truth managed to defeat all the arguments raised by the hypocrites, the Jews and the Christians. Their non-Islamic concepts soon vanished and only Islam remained as the overriding and inherently correct ideology, with people now continuously discussing its rules and inviting others to it. Islam became deeply rooted and its banner engulfed all ideological and ruling matters. However, the hearts of the hypocrites and the Jews remained bent on hatred towards the Muslims, begrudging and despising them all the more. Nevertheless, the authority of Islam in Madinah and the stability and solid foundation of the Islamic society dominated everything. The various expeditions and the show of strength displayed by the Muslims effectively managed to silence all sick minds. The Word of Allah (swt) reigned supreme and the enemies of Islam were forced to remain quiet and to submit to the authority of Islam.
