Expedition of Dumat al-Jandal
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out with one thousand of the Muslims to Dumah al-Jandal in Rabi‘ al-Awwal of 5 AH after reports reached him that the tribes around it were cutting the road, looting passersby, and gathering to threaten Madinah. The people were taken by surprise when the Muslims arrived, so they fled and the Muslims met no one. The Prophet ﷺ stayed there for several days, sent out detachments, made peace with Uyaynah ibn Hisn, and then returned to Madinah.
