Patrol of Buwat

The Patrol of Buwat[3] took place in October 623 or 2 A.H. of the Islamic calendar, in Rabi' al-Awwal.

Muhammad went with a force of 200 men in order to raid parties of the Quraysh.

[3] Muhammad stayed at Buwat for some time and left without engaging in combat.

[3] Approximately a month after the patrol of Wadden, Muhammad personally led two hundred men including Muhajirs and Ansars to Bawat, a place on the caravan route of the Quraysh raiders led by Umayyah ibn Khalaf.

[3] According to Haykal, Umayyah ibn Khalaf took another route.
