The Encyclopaedia of Islam. New Edition. Brill, Leiden. Bd. 4, S. 1137: "Montgomery Watt has drawn attention to the fact that the Banu'l-Naḍīr, driven out of Medina, had taken refuge in Khaybar and that their chieftains and the chieftains of other Jewish groups, eager for revenge, were intriguing against Muhammad, along with the Arabs tribes of the neighbourhood. So Muhammad had not only a just motive for attacking them, but there was also the positive necessity to destroy these enemies, more formidable even than the Quraysh, because of their adherence to their own religion, their intelligence and their superior culture. [...] The sources give support to the view of Montgomery Watt, showing that the Jews, already responsible for the coalition which had laid siege to Medina in 5 A.H. and worried by the growing power of the Prophet, continued to stir up the Arabs against him."
