The opening of Sūrat al-Ḥashr includes لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ — “at the first gathering.”
The verse speaks of the departure of a group from the People of the Book from their dwellings. Interpreters consider the lexical range of ḥashr, the historical setting, and the force of “first.” Different readings may relate the expression to assembly and expulsion.
Caution: ḥashr must not automatically be restricted to its eschatological use. Context helps determine whether the passage describes gathering, forced movement, or the final assembling of creatures.
