Counsel Regarding Quraizah & al-Nazeer

Yahyah bin Sa‘d narrates, “On the day of Quraizah and the day of Al-Nazeer, when the Holy Prophet (sa) sought counsel from people, Hazrat Hubbab bin Munzir stood up and said, ‘I am of the opinion that we settle down in the midst of the army camps, (that is, go to the location closest to the army in order to obtain intelligence and carry out better surveillance).’ The Holy Prophet (sa) accepted his suggestion. He passed away during the Khilafat of Hazrat Umar.”
