The invasion of Banu Nadir took place in May 625 CE (Rabi' al-awwal, AH) 4.[1][2] The account is related in Surah Al-Hashr (Chapter 59 - The Gathering) which describes the banishment of the Jewish tribe Banu Nadir, who were expelled from Medina when believed to be plotting to assassinate the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[3]
According to Islamic tradition, the Bani Nadir were expelled from Medina in 625 after reportedly being implicated in a plot to assassinate Muhammad.
