 {{Quote|{{Quran-range|33|26|27}}| And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew and ye made captive some.
 And He caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land ye have not trodden. Allah is Able to do all things }}
-According to the traditional narrative the [[Qur'an]] refers to this incident in [[Surah]] 33:

-According to the traditional exegetes the people being referred to in the above verse are the Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe. The reason given for slaying them is their alleged support of the Meccans "ahzaab" or confederates/parties (tribes) who came to fight the Muslims of Medina. Reading the verse in this light, it is [[Allah]] accusing people of the scripture of supporting Meccans. According to the [[sira]] and the [[hadith]], the Banu Qurayza, upon seeing the size of the enemy army confronting the Muslims, waivered in their allegiance to Muhammad and went over to the enemy, creating a huge strategic problem for Muhammad as the Banu Qurayzah were situated behind his lines and he had made no preparations to go to war with them.
