during this invasion, the hypocrites almost managed to create a sort of discord among the muslims themselves, coupled with a serious and ugly slander against the prophet [pbuh] himself. in short, their behaviour was an authentic translation of allâh’s words:

"had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, and they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you …" [al-qur'an 9:47]
