Seventh Year of Hijra

One of the significant events after the pact of Hudaibya is the conquest of Khyber. The Jews were settled in Khyber after they were expelled from Madinah. It was the place 70 miles to the north of Madinah. Khyber means fortified, was a cluster of some 8 fortresses (Al-Naim, Ash-Sab, Az-Zubair, Al-Ubai, An-Nizar, Al-Qamus, Al-Watih and Al-Sulalim) in three portions (An-Natah, As-Shaq and Al-Katibah) around which lay farms and palm orchards.
