非穆斯林很快就察觉到穆斯林的力量与威势。他们意识到，穆斯林的力量深植于那些从不吝惜为伊斯兰献身的心中：那些心忍受了各种痛苦与迫害，那些心时刻准备着为伊斯兰献出生命。穆斯林在麦地那享受着自己的宗教，践行其律法，这一宗教每天都在攀升到新的高度，穆斯林也因此感到真正的满足与喜悦。

The non-Muslims became aware of the strength and power of the Muslims within a short period of time. They realized that their strength was deeply rooted in hearts never short of sacrifice in the way of Islam, hearts that endured all types of pain and persecution, hearts that were always ready to give up life itself for Islam. There they were in Madinah enjoying their Deen and implementing its rules, a Deen that was reaching new heights each day with the Muslims feeling true contentment and happiness.

伊斯兰的敌人无法接受这一切，邻近的犹太人开始在外在行为上流露出厌恶之情。当穆斯林日益坚定、许多人响应伊斯兰的召唤时，他们的恐惧与日俱增，并开始重新思考和审视自己对穆罕默德ﷺ及其圣门弟子的立场。犹太人对其中皈依伊斯兰的人感到愤怒。他们担心伊斯兰会渗透进他们的队伍并在他们中间传播，于是便攻击伊斯兰及其信仰和律法。穆斯林与犹太人之间随之展开了激烈的争辩和心理战，这场冲突后来发展成为比穆斯林在麦加所遭遇的古莱士人的争端更为激烈的纷争。

The enemies of Islam could not digest this, and signs of revulsion began to outwardly manifest themselves in the neighboring Jews. Their fears grew and they began to rethink and reconsider their position towards Muhammad (pbuh) and his Sahabah now that the Muslims were becoming unshakable and many people were responding to the call of Islam. The Jews were enraged by those amongst them who converted to Islam. They feared that Islam would infiltrate their ranks and spread among them and so they attacked Islam, its beliefs and rules. Heated argument and a war of nerves ensued between the Muslims and Jews, this was to develop into a much fiercer dispute than the Muslims had to endure with the Quraysh in Makkah.
