It was narrated that Usamah bin Said said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to a village called Ubna, and said: “Go to Ubna in the morning and burn it.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُبْنَى فَقَالَ " ائْتِ أُبْنَى صَبَاحًا ثُمَّ حَرِّقْ " .

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir, and cut down Buwairah (the name of their garden). Then Allah revealed the words:
“What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing...” [59:5]
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَرَّقَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَعَ . وَهِيَ الْبُوَيْرَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً } الآيَةَ .

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet ﷺ burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir and cut them down. Concerning that, their poet said:
“It is easy for the elite of Banu Luai –
To burn Al-Buwairah in a Frightening manner.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَرَّقَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَعَ . وَفِيهِ يَقُولُ شَاعِرُهُمْ فَهَانَ عَلَى سَرَاةِ بَنِي لُؤَىٍّ حَرِيقٌ بِالْبُوَيْرَةِ مُسْتَطِيرُ
