tabari7:94/ishaq:367"maslamah made a plan to kill ka'b the enemy of allah.before they went to him,they sent abu ahead.when he arrived,they spoke together for a while.they recited verses,for abu was something of a poet.then abu said,'ka'b,i have come to you about a matter which i want you to keep secret.''go ahead,'he replied.'the arrival of the prophet muhammad has been an affliction for us.'abu said,'most arabs are now hostile to us.we cannot travel along the roads,and the result is that our families are facing ruin.we are all suffering.'ka'b replied,'i warned you that things would turn out like this.'abu said,'i would like you to sell us some food.we will give you some collateral and make a firm contract.please treat us generously."
