Chapter of the Expedition to Quraysh and Bani Sulaym at Bahran

Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl al-Qattan narrated to us in Baghdad, saying: Abdullah ibn Ja'far told us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Sufyan told us, saying: Ammar told us, saying: Salamah Abu al-Fadl narrated from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, he said: "Then he raided intending Quraysh and Bani Sulaym until he reached Bahran, a mining site in the Hijaz from the direction of al-Fur', where he stayed during the month of Rabi' al-Awwal and Jumada al-Ula. Then he returned to Medina without encountering any harm, and during that time were the expeditions of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to the Banu Qaynuqa'."

I say: as al-Waqidi mentioned that his absence during this expedition aiming at Bahran lasted for ten nights, and that he appointed Ibn Umm Maktum as the governor of Medina.

Reference this expedition in: Ibn Hisham's Sirah (2:425), al-Waqidi's Maghazi (1:196), Ibn Sa'd (2:35), al-Tabari's Tarikh (2:487), Ibn Hazm (153), Ayun al-Athar (1:363), Ibn Kathir's Tarikh (4:3), al-Nuwayri (17:79), and al-Sirah al-Halabiyya (2:280).

Bahran: a location between al-Fur' and Medina.

This narration is related by Ibn Hisham in al-Sirah (2:425-426).

This narration can be found in al-Waqidi's Maghazi (1:197).
