History

Beni Nadir was the second of the three major Jewish tribes in Medina. They were exiled from Medina in the 4th year of Hijra (625) due to their attempt to kill the Prophet Muhammad and their secret correspondence with the polytheists. This historical event is the only exile incident narrated in the Quran with an independent surah. **Surah Al-Hashr (Surah 59):** This surah, revealed during the Medina period, takes its name from the word "hashr" (gathering/exile) in verse 2. The first sections of the surah (verses 1-10) directly address the exile of Beni Nadir. "It is He who expelled the disbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think they would leave, and they thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah." These verses also explain how the properties left by Beni Nadir were distributed among the Muslims. **Verse 256 of Surah Al-Baqarah:** There are narrations that this verse, which means "There is no compulsion in religion," was revealed in the context of the issue of Beni Nadir Jews wanting to convert some of the children of the Medinan Ansar to Judaism. The last three verses of Surah Al-Hashr (22-24) enumerate the names of Allah and constitute one of the most recited sections of the Quran. These verses form a special remembrance section that is known to be recommended by the Prophet Muhammad to be recited after the morning prayer.
