Kinana ibn ar-Rabi '

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kinana ibn ar-Rabi , Arabic كنانة بن الربيع, DMG Kināna b. ar-Rabīʿ († 628 ), was an opponent of Muhammad and a leader of a sub-tribe of the Yathrib, the pre-Islamic Medina resident tribe of the Banu Nadir . Kinana's father al-Rabi 'ibn Abi' l-Huqayq, a poet, was also an avowed opponent of Muhammad.

According to tradition, his wife Safiyya bint Huyayy had a dream in which she saw a shining moon rising over Medina. The star slowly wandered to Chaibar, where it fell into her lap. When Safiyya woke up, she told her husband about her dream. Kinana ibn ar-Rabi hit her in the face so that she almost lost an eye and said: "That can only mean that you are interested in Muhammad, the King of the Arabian Peninsula!" He was known to sympathize with Muhammad.

In the course of the conquest of Chaibar , where his tribe had fled after being driven out of Medina in 625 AD, his tribe undertook to disclose the whereabouts of all their possessions in return for protection. Since Kinana was keeping his family's treasure , the Abu 'l-Huqayq, Mohammed had him tortured until he revealed the location of the treasure and later killed after his brothers - al-Rabi' ibn al-Rabi 'and Sallam ibn al-Rabi ', who were both declared opponents of Muhammad - had been executed. Shortly afterwards, Mohammed married Kinana's widow.

The torture and subsequent execution of ibn al-Rabi was also taken up in Islamic jurisprudence: the famous lawyer al-Shaibani , referring to this event in his fundamental work on Islamic international law, came to the conclusion that an enemy may be killed if He is granted protection on the Muslim side under certain conditions, but the latter is guilty of treason or hides the object to be contractually handed over.
