Rabi’ al-Akhir — Ghazwa of Bahran (Expedition against Banu Sulaym)

News of the gathering of Banu Sulaym at Bahran (a mine in the Hijaz) came in Rabi' al-Akhir; the Prophet ﷺ set out with three hundred Companions, leaving Ibn Umm Maktum ﵁ in Medina; the enemies dispersed and there was no fighting. Ikhtilaf (scholarly disagreement) on the date. In the calendar: Rabi' al-Akhir (as in the main text of the book: the view the author considers more correct or calls mashhur (widely held)). Other opinions: the 16th of Jumada al-Ula: according to some historians he stayed there until the 16th of Jumada al-Ula (others say only ten nights in all).
