Back to Hazrat Umar (ra) bin Khattab

The Expedition of Turabah

From the life of Hazrat Umar (ra) bin Khattab

Abu Bakr bin Abdir Rahman relates that in the month of Sha‘ban 7 AH, the Holy Prophet (sa) sent Hazrat Umar (ra) bin Khattab on an expedition alongside 30 men to a branch of the Hawazin tribe in Turabah. Turabah is a valley situated at a two-day journey from Mecca, which was inhabited by the Banu Hawazin. (When there is mention of two-day journeys etc., by this I mean any narration that has reference to the journey in days, it is in relation to the modes of transport in the past such as horses and camels.)
