Chapter on the Expedition of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab to Ajuhzah Behind Mecca

It was narrated to us by Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz who said: It was narrated to us by Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Isbahani who said: It was narrated to us by Al-Hasan ibn al-Jahm who said: It was narrated to us by Al-Husayn ibn al-Faraj who said: It was narrated to us by Al-Waqidi who said: It was narrated to us by Usamah ibn Zayd ibn Aslam from Abu Bakr ibn Umar ibn Abdur-Rahman who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent 'Umar ibn al-Khattab to Turabah of Ajuhzah with thirty riders. 'Umar went out with a guide from the Banu Hilal. They would travel at night and lay in ambush during the day. When the news reached Ajuhzah, they fled. 'Umar arrived at their dwelling but did not find anyone. He then returned to Medina, passing through Najdiyyah. Upon reaching Jaddah, the Hilali said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "Is there another group that I left from Khath'am who are wandering in the wilderness, and their lands have become deserted?" 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command me concerning them. He only commanded me to stand firm for the battle against Ajuhzah at Turabah." 'Umar then returned to Medina.

[(1) Ajuhzah]: The Banu Nasr ibn Muawiyah and Banu Jashm ibn Bakr. [(2) Turabah]: A place in the region of Al-Abla on the route to Sanaa and Najran, four miles from Mecca.

Source: Al-Waqidi reported this narration in the book "Al-Maghazi" (2:722).
