The Expedition of Turabah
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.)
