The expedition against the Banu Saleem tribe, also known as the Al Kudr Invasion,[2] occurred directly after the Battle of Badr in the year AH 2 of the Islamic calendar. The expedition was ordered by Muhammad after he received intelligence that the Banu Salim were planning to invade Madina.[1]

This was Muhammad's first interaction with the people of Bahrain. He had received news that some tribes were amassing an army on march from Bahrain.[3][4]

Muhammad responded by launching a pre-emptive strike against their base in Al Kudr, which was a watering place at the time.[5] When the tribe heard of this, they fled. Muhammad captured 500 of their camels from the raid, and distributed them between his fighters. He also kept a fifth of the spoils as khums.[3][6][7][8]

This event is mentioned in Ibn Hisham's biography of Muhammad and other historical books.[2][9] Modern secondary sources which mention this include the award-winning book Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar).[2][10]
