The report mentions that the hypocrites intended to attack the Prophet ﷺ on his return from Tabuk, but Allah informed him of what they planned, so their plot failed.
It falls within the events of Year 9 after the Hijrah (9 AH) and its exposure of the hypocrites and the foiling of their schemes.
And in Rajab of this year: on his return from Tabuk, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, some of the hypocrites intended to kill him, but Allah informed him of what they planned, so their plot failed.
The incident of al-Aqabah took place when the Prophet ﷺ returned from The Expedition of Tabuk in 9 AH. A group of hypocrites tried to ambush him on a narrow mountain road at night. Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman was with him, leading his camel, and 'Ammar ibn Yasir was driving it. The hypocrites came covered, wanting to frighten the camel of the Prophet ﷺ and make him fall. 'Ammar confronted them and struck the faces of their riding animals until they turned back, and Allah protected His Messenger ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ told Hudhayfah the names of the hypocrites, which is why Hudhayfah became known as the keeper of the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. However, the sound reports do not establish their names for people, so it is not right to accuse anyone without proof. The incident shows the danger of internal hypocrisy after Tabuk, the alertness of the Companions, and the wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ in dealing with trials without inflaming the community.
