In this Hijri month, Jumada al-Ula (جُمَادَى الأُولَى), the book “Siratul Mustafa” records 6 events from the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions. Dates follow the text of the book; where scholars differ on a date (ikhtilaf), the description gives the main view and the others.
On receiving the Prophet's ﷺ letter, Khosrow tore it up; when Badhan's envoys came to Medina, the Prophet ﷺ told them that on that very night Khosrow had been killed by his son Shirawayh. Badhan then accepted Islam.
A digit in the date is being verified against the book scan.
During Jumada al-Ula 2 AH the Prophet ﷺ set out with two hundred Muhajirun to Ushayra (near Yanbu) against a Quraysh caravan; the caravan had left a few days earlier. The Prophet ﷺ stayed there until a few nights into Jumada al-Akhira and concluded a pact with Banu Mudlij.
At the beginning of Jumada al-Ula word came that Banu Muharib and Banu Tha'laba were gathering an army; the Messenger ﷺ set out for Najd with four hundred Companions. There was no fighting, and salat al-khawf (the prayer of fear) was performed. The author cites a disagreement about the time of the expedition. Ikhtilaf (scholarly disagreement) on the date. In the calendar: Jumada al-Ula 4 AH (as in the main text of the book: the view the author considers more correct or calls "mashhur (widely held)"). Other views: Muharram 5 AH — Ibn Sa'd: Muharram 5 AH; 7 AH — Imam al-Bukhari: after Khaybar, 7 AH (with the participation of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Abu Hurayra ﵄).
In Jumada al-Ula, six-year-old Abdullah, the son of Uthman ibn Affan ﵁, passed away.
Zayd ibn Haritha, with 170 horsemen, intercepted a Qurayshi caravan from Sham at Iys; among the captives was the Prophet's ﷺ son-in-law Abu al-As ibn ar-Rabi', who received the protection of Zaynab ﵂.
In the month of Jumada al-Ula 8 AH the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army of three thousand to Mu'ta; Zayd ibn Haritha was appointed commander, then Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, then Abdullah ibn Rawaha ﵃. All three were killed, and Khalid ﵁ took the banner.
