Expedition of Buwat

The Prophet went out in Rabi' al-Awwal 2 AH (September 623 CE) with two hundred of his Companions to intercept a Quraysh caravan in which was Umayya ibn Khalaf al-Jumahi with a hundred men of Quraysh and twenty-five hundred camels. ¹

The Prophet left Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in charge of Medina; the banner was white, carried by Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas. ^{1 2}

The army reached the mountain of Buwat on the side of Radwa toward the al-Sham road, found the caravan had already passed them, and the Muslims returned to Medina without an encounter. ^{1 3}
