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.
[3][4] Muhammad responded by launching a pre-emptive strike against their base in Al Kudr, which was a watering place at the time.
[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).
