The Battle of Khaybar was a battle involving Muslims and the Jewish tribes near Medina who broke the commonwealth treaty with Muhammad. After Muhammad defeated Banu Qurayza in Medina he went after Khaybar, a rich oasis of fertile lands and palm trees, known for its many highly fortified fortresses and the ten thousand strong soldiers who used to give refuge to their allies.

Na'em was the first fortress to be opened, Al-Wateeh and As-Salalem (the stairs) were the last given after a dozen days of siege and Fadak gave up peacefully.

Muslim army leaders

After some Muslims were killed during their siege of the fortresses, the Muslim attacked. The first leader of the offense was Abu Bakr, then Umar. Later, Muhammad is said to have spoken highly of the next leader who would open the fortresses. Ali, known after this by Haydar-el-Karrar, was given the Islamic flag. He is said to have taken the heavy door of the an-Na'em fortress in one hand and used it as a shield.

Murhab, a strong Jewish leader and fighter, known for his weapons and strength, was killed by Ali in a duel. His killing had a great impact on the fall of Khaybar.
