This is part of the expeditions that aimed to secure Madinah and show the strength of the Muslims after Hudaybiyyah.
In Shawwal of this year: there was also the Expedition of Bashir ibn Sa'd to Yumn and Jabar.
The meaning is that the Prophet ﷺ sent Bashir ibn Sa'd with a number of the Muslims toward Yumn and Jabar to stop a group that was preparing to attack Madinah. When that group learned of the Muslims' approach, they fled, so the Muslims gained spoils and two men were captured, then they embraced Islam.
During that period, there was military activity after The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, with punitive moves against those who threatened Madinah or its outskirts.
Protecting Madinah and deterring tribal forces that threatened the Muslims and aimed to raid and plunder.
The immediate threat from that group was broken, and the captives returned to Madinah as Muslims.
