Patrol of Waddan

However, the Banu Damrah met with Muhammad and they established a peace agreement for mutual cooperation and safety.

[1][2][3] After Muhammad and his followers had migrated to Medina in 622, the Muslims attacked several of the Quraysh's caravans traveling from Syria to Mecca.

During the patrol to Waddan, a Muslim force sought one of the Quraysh's caravans, but was unable to engage with it.

"[2]The treaty meant that both parties were forbidden from raiding each other, joining confederations hostile to one another, or supporting each other's enemies.

William Montgomery Watt saw this as a deliberate attempt by Muhammad to provoke the Meccans.
