Statement

It soon became that clear that the Jews rejected Muhammad's prophetic claims, and relations in Medina deteriorated quickly. Other passages reflect the tension, such as one warning against taking Jews and Christians as friends, and another singling out the Jews, no doubt because of political rivalry with the early Muslims and the charge of conspiring with Mecca's pagans.
