Delegations and Expeditions following Al-Muraisi‘ Ghazwah
1. A military expedition led by ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf was despatched to the habitation of Bani
Kalb in Doumat Al-Jandal in Sha‘ban 6 Hijri. Before setting out, the Prophet (Peace be upon him)  summoned ‘Abdur Rahman, and placed his hand on the latter’s hand invoking Allâh’s blessings  and giving him commandments to act magnanimously during the war. He told him to marry the  king’s daughter if they obeyed him. ‘Abdur Rahman stayed among those people for three days,  invited them to Islam and they responded positively. He then did marry the king’s daughter
Tamadur bint Al-Asbagh.
2. In the same month and year, ‘Ali bin Abi Talib was despatched at the head of a platoon to the  habitation of Bani Sa‘d bin Bakr in a place called Fadk. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)  had been reported that those had rallied ranks to support the Jews. The Muslim fighters used to  march in the day and lurk at night. On their way, they captured an enemy scout who admitted  being sent to Khaibar tribe, to offer them support in return for their dates. ‘Ali and his  companions raided their encampment, captured five hundred camels and two thousand goats,  but Banu Sa‘d, with their chieftain Wabr bin ‘Aleem had fled away.
3. An expedition led by Abu Bakr As-Siddiq or Zaid bin Haritha was despatched to Wadi Al-Qura in
Ramadan 6 Hijri after Fazara sept had made an attempt at the Prophet’s life. Following the  morning prayer, the detachment was given orders to raid the enemy. Some of them were killed  and others captured. Amongst the captives, were Umm Qirfa and her beautiful daughter, who  was sent to Makkah as a ransom for the release of some Muslim prisoners there. Umm Qirfa’s  attempts at the Prophet’s life recoiled on her, and the thirty horsemen she had gathered and  sustained to implement her evil scheme were all killed.
4. Anas bin Malik reported that some people belonging to tribe of ‘Uraina came to Allâh’s Messenger
(Peace be upon him) and made pretensions to Islam. They stayed in Madinah but found its  climate uncongenial, so they were asked to pitch their tents in the pastures nearby. They did so  and were all right. They then fell on the Prophet’s shepherd and killed him, turned apostates  from Islam and drove off the camels. This news reached the Prophet (Peace be upon him), who  sent a group of twenty Muslims led by Karz bin Jabir Al-Fihri on their track. They were brought  and handed over to him. He had their hands and feet cut off, their eyes gouged out in  recompense for their behaviour, and then they were thrown on the stony ground until they died.
Biographers also reported ‘Amr bin Omaiya Ad-Damari and Salamah bin Abi Salamah to have  been sent on an errand to kill Abu Sufyan, the chief of Quraish, who had already sent a bedouin  to kill the Prophet (Peace be upon him). The two-men mission failed except for three polytheists  killed on the way. It is noteworthy that all the foregone invasions did not imply real bitter  fighting, they were rather skirmishes or punitive military manoeuvres carried out to deter some  enemies still unsubdued. Deep meditation on the development of war circumstances reveal the  continuous collapse of the morale among the enemies of Islam, who had come to understand  that they were no longer in a position to contain the Islamic call or weaken its active drive. This  state of affairs reached its climax in Al-Hudaibiyah Treaty when the two belligerent parties,  believers and disbelievers, entered into a truce agreement that pointed markedly to the evergrowing  power of Islam, and recorded unequivocally the perpetuity of this heavenly religion in  pan-Arabia.
Al-HUDAIBIYAH TREATY (Dhul Qa‘dah 6 A.H.):
When Arabia began to witness the large impressive sweep in favour of the Muslims, the forerunners of  the great conquest and success of the Islamic Call started gradually to loom on the demographic  horizon, and the true believers restored their undisputed right to observe worship in the sacred  sanctuary.
It was about the sixth year Hijri when the Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw in a dream, while he was  still in Madinah, that he had entered the sacred sanctuary in Makkah in security with his followers, and  was performing the ceremonies of ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). Their heads were being shaved and hair  cut off. As soon as he informed some of his Companions the contents of his dream, their hearts leapt  up with joy since they found in it the actualization of their deep longing to take part in pilgrimage and  its hallowed rites after an exile of six years.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) had his clothes washed, mounted his camel and marched out  towards
Makkah at the head of fifteen hundred Muslims including his wife Umm Salamah. Some desert  bedouins  whose Faith was lukewarm hung back and made excuses. They carried no weapons with them except  sheathed swords because they had no intention of fighting. Ibn Umm Maktum was mandated to
