Expedition of Safwan (First Badr)

In Rabi' al-Awwal 2 AH (September 623 CE) Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri raided the grazing herds of Medina and plundered the Muslims' livestock; the Prophet went out after him with seventy of his Companions — this expedition is also called the first Badr. ¹

The Prophet left his client Zayd ibn Haritha in charge of Medina; the banner was white, carried by Ali ibn Abi Talib. ^{1 2}

The Prophet pursued Kurz as far as Wadi Safwan on the side of Badr, but Kurz escaped them and got away; the Prophet and his companions returned to Medina without fighting. ^{1 3}
