The raid on Amarr (Arabic: غزوة ذي أمر),[2][3] also known as the Raid on Ghatafan,[4] occurred directly after the Invasion of Sawiq in the year A.H. 3 of the Islamic calendar, March 625.[5][6] The expedition was ordered by Muhammad after he received intelligence that the Banu Muharib and Banu Thalabah tribes were planning to raid the outskirts of Madinah. Therefore, Muhammad launched a pre-emptive strike with 450 men.[1]
When the enemies heard of the imminent arrival of Muhammad, they quickly fled. The Muslims also captured a man who later converted to Islam and acted as their guide.[7]
This event is mentioned in Ibn Hisham's biography of Muhammad, and other historical sources.[1][8][9][10]
