The Battle of Buwaib

The Battle of Buwaib took place in 13 AH, and according to some historians, it was 16 AH. On the occasion of the Battle of Jisr, which I have mentioned in the previous sermon as well, Hazrat Musanna (ra) informed Hazrat Umar (ra) regarding the defeat of the Muslims during this battle. Hazrat Umar (ra) said to the emissary, “Return to your companions and tell them that the Muslim army should remain where it is and that reinforcements would soon be on its way.”
