Mukhayriq ibn al-Nadir (Arabic: مخيريق بن النضير, romanized: Mukhayrīq ibn al-Naḍīr) was an Arabian Jewish rabbi who belonged to the Banu Tha'laba tribe of Medina and fought alongside Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Battle of Uhud on 19 March 625.
[1] According to Omid Safi, Muhammad's biographer Ibn Ishaq was "perhaps deliberately ambiguous on the question whether Mukhayriq formally became Muslim, or whether he was a righteous Jew who had affection for Mohamed.
In spite of the required observance of Shabbat, Mukhayriq decided he had to fight alongside Muhammad.
"[5][6][7] The seven gardens and the other wealth Muhammad inherited from the rabbi were used for the establishment of a waqf, the first ever "charitable endowment of Islam.
In accordance with this constitution, all tribes living in Medina entered one nation, called an Ummah, and were obligated to help each other, to fight their common enemies and each to bear their own expenses.
