What is Islam - eBook
Through wahi (divine revelation), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was informed of a trade caravan of the Quraish heading towards Makkah Mukarramah. Therefore, in the month of Rabee’-ul-Awwal or Rabee’-us-Saani in the year 2 A.H. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) set out in the direction of Bawaat with at least two hundred Mujaahideen. The purpose of this expedition was to launch an attack against this trade caravan.

وَأَحَلَّ اللهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبٰوا
And Allah has permitted trade and prohibited riba – interest. [1]
الَّذِيْنَ يَأْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبٰوا لَا يَقُومُوْنَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُوْمُ الَّذِيْ يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطٰنُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
Those who consume interest will rise (on the Day of Qiyaamah) like the one who has been afflicted by the evil touch of Shaitaan. [2]
فَإِنْ لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوْا فَأْذَنُوْا بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ اللهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ
“If you do not do so (desist from dealing in interest) then be prepared to wage war against Allah and His Rasul (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” [3]
Sariyyah of Hazrat Ubaidah bin Haarith (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)
Written by user2Eight months after the Hijrah, during the month of Shawwaal in the first year of the hijrah, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) despatched a contingent of sixty or eighty Muhaajireen, mounted on conveyances, under the commandership of Hazrat Ubaidah bin Haarith (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) towards Raabigh. In this contingent, there were no Ansaari Sahaabah present.
When they reached Raabigh, they had a confrontation with two hundred Quraishi mounted cavalry. However, no actual fighting took place. Only Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) launched a single arrow against the enemy. This was recorded as the first arrow to be fired in the history of Islam.
This chapter deals with the unparalleled sacrifices of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) in the path of Allah Ta‘ala, and the execution of those evil enemies who rebelled against Allah Ta‘ala in the various military campaigns.
When the divine commandment of jihaad was revealed, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) commenced fighting and jihaad, and despatched armies to various regions.
In the terminology of the Ulama of Seerah, the battle in which Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) himself participated is referred to as a “ghazwah’ (the plural of which is ghazawaat), while the expedition in which he did not personally participate is referred to as a “sariyyah’ (the plural of which is saraayaa).
