Banu Nadir

Banu al-Nadir — Yathrib's farming Jews, the grandest of them in houses and wealth — were expelled with choice of what they could carry in 625 CE after an accusation of a murder plot; their fate ended at Khaybar, then in its undoing.

In the years after Uhud Medina accused their chief Huyayy ibn Akhtab of arranging the Prophet's assassination by inviting him to his gathering; the armies besieged them until they left with six hundred loads and whatever the camels carried — save weapons ¹. Many settled at Khaybar, and Huyayy became the leader of the Jewish front against the state until he was killed after it fell ².

Their land — Fadak's orchards and the Nadir's estates — became in the tradition a fay' belonging to the Prophet, and from it came his endowment ³.

The Nadir story is a knot in Jewish–Islamic classification: in the Sira a just punishment for treachery; in academic study a prime example of "pre-emptive expulsions"; and in Jewish heritage a chapter of the peninsula's lost laments ².
