حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِىِّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَطَعَ نَخْلَ بَنِى النَّضِيرِ وَحَرَّقَ وَلَهَا يَقُولُ حَسَّانُ وَهَانَ عَلَى سَرَاةِ بَنِى لُؤَىٍّ حَرِيقٌ بِالْبُوَيْرَةِ مُسْتَطِيرُ وَفِى ذَلِكَ نَزَلَتْ (مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا) الآيَةَ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cut down the palm trees of Banu An-Nadir and burned them, and concerning that Hassan said: It was easy for the nobles of Banu Lu'ayy (Quraish) To burn Al-Buwayrah with sparks flying everywhere. And concerning that the Verse was revealed: "What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm trees (of the enemy), or you left them..." [Al-Hashr 59:5].
