Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) appointed Hazrat Saa’ib bin Uthmaan bin Maz’oon (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) as his governor over Madinah Munawwarah. Hazrat Saa’ib bin Uthmaan bin Maz’oon (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was among the first group of people to embrace Islam, and was also among those who had made hijrah to Abyssinia.

This trade caravan of the Quraish comprised of two thousand five hundred camels, and one hundred tribesmen of the Quraish, among whom was Umayyah bin Khalaf.

When Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) reached Bawaat, he discovered that the trade caravan had already escaped. Thus, without any fighting or battle, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) returned to Madinah Munawwarah.
