CHAPTER 55: THE GHAZWAH OF BUWAT TOWARD RADWA
THE GHAZWAH OF BUWAT TOWARD RADWA
Ibn Ishaq related: Thereafter, Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) marched forth in the month of Rabee‘ ul-Awwal i.e. in the second year (of Hijrah) seeking the Quraish. Ibn Hisham added: He appointed over Madinah, as-Sa’ib Ibn Uthman Ibn Maz’oon.
Ibn Ishaq continued: (He advanced) till he reached Buwat in the direction of Radwa and then he returned to Madinah and he did not fight. He remained at Madinah for the remainder of the month of Rabee‘ ul-Akhir and some part of Jumada (Al-Ooula). Then he raided the Quraish i.e. in that raid referred to as the raid of Al-Ushairah.
Ibn Hisham added: And he appointed Abu Salamah Ibn Abdul-Asad to deputies for him over Madinah. Al-Bukhari related that Ibn Ishaq said: Once, while I was sitting beside Zaid Ibn Al-Arqam, he was asked, “How many Ghazawat did the Prophet undertake?” Zaid replied, “Nineteen.” They said, “In how many Ghazawat did you join him?” He replied, “Seventeen.” I asked, “Which of these was the first?” He replied, “Al-’Ushair or Al-Usaira.” This Hadith clearly indicates that the first Ghazwah was that of Al-Ushairah.
Muhammad Ibn Ishaq related: On that day, Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said to Ali “O Abu Turab,” owing to the sand that was on him and we informed him what had occurred of our affairs. So he said: “Shouldn’t I inform you of the two most wretched of men?” We said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “the man of Thamood who killed the camel and the one who would strike you over here (i.e. on his forehead) until you are wet with your blood till,” placing his hand on his beard.” This version of the Hadith is strange and has a corroboration from another version concerning the nick naming of Ali ‘Abu Turab’ as contained in as-Saheeh Al-Bukhari that Ali once got angry with (his wife) Fatimah, and went out (of his house) and slept in the mosque. The Prophet came to their house and asked her of his whereabout and she said: “He went out angrily.” The Prophet came to the mosque and stirred him up while removing the dust from his back, saying, “Get up, O Abu Turab!”
