Al-Abwā'[1] (Arabic: ٱَلْأَبْوَاء) is a Hejazi village between Mecca and Medina belonging to the area of Rabigh, on the western coast of Saudi Arabia.

The Islamic Prophet Muhammad entered it before the Battle of Badr, in 2 Safar A.H.[clarification needed] The fourth caravan raid that Muhammad ordered, known as the invasion of Waddan, was the first offensive in which Muhammad took part personally with 70 troops, mostly Muhajirun.

[7] It is said that twelve months after moving to Medina, Muhammad himself led a caravan raid to Waddan (Al-Abwā).

Negotiations began and the two leaders signed a treaty of non-aggression.

Banu Damrah pledged not to attack Muslims or side with the Quraysh; and Muhammad pledged not to attack, or seize the goods of, the caravans of the Banu Damrah.
