Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Qurayza, and Banu Nadir were the three major Jewish tribes living in Madina at the time of the Prophet's (PBUH) migration. They are significant in Islamic history because of their treaties with the Muslims under the Charter of Madina and their subsequent breaches, which led to conflicts. Banu Qaynuqa were expelled after breaking the treaty following the Battle of Badr, while Banu Qurayza were dealt with after their treason during the Battle of Khandaq (Ahzab).
The three prominent Jewish tribes of Madina — Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qurayza — played a crucial role in the early Madinan period. Banu Qaynuqa were primarily goldsmiths and traders, Banu Nadir were wealthy landowners, and Banu Qurayza were agriculturists. All three tribes initially entered into a pact with the Muslims through the Charter of Madina, which guaranteed mutual defense and religious freedom, but each violated the agreement at different stages.
