The expedition against the Banu Salim tribe, also known as the Al Kudr Invasion[2] occurred directly after the Battle of Badr in the year 2 A.H 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 intereaction with the people of Bahrain. He had gotten news that some tribes were amassing an army on march from Bahrain.[3][4]

So 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. The Muslims captured 500 of their camels from the raid.[3][4][6][7]
