MCQ Detailed View

Banu Nuzair was a prominent Jewish tribe living in Madina during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They were expelled from Madina in the 4th year after Hijrah (4 AH) due to their violation of peace treaties and their involvement in conspiracies against the Muslim community.

Initially, the Jewish tribes of Madina, including Banu Quraizah, Banu Qaynuqa, and Banu Nuzair, had signed agreements with the Prophet (PBUH) to live peacefully under the Charter of Madina. However, Banu Nuzair broke their agreement by plotting to assassinate the Prophet (PBUH) during one of his visits to them. When their treachery was exposed, the Prophet (PBUH) gave them ten days to leave Madina. Eventually, after a brief siege, they were expelled.

The event marked a significant moment in the consolidation of the Muslim state in Madina. After their expulsion, Banu Nuzair migrated towards Khaybar and Syria. The properties they left behind were distributed among the Muslims, particularly to support the newly migrated Muhajireen.
