The Patrol of Buwat[1] took place in the year 2 A.H of the Islamic calendar, in the month of Rabi ul Awal. Muhammad went with a force of 200 men, to search for raiding parties of the Quraysh.[1] Muhammad stayed there for some time and left without engaging in combat.[1]

Background and raid

Approximately a month after the Patrol of Wadden, he personally led two hundred men including Muhajirs and Ansars to Bawat, a place on the caravan route of the Quraysh raiders, led by Umayyah ibn Khalaf.[1][2][3] Ibn Khalaf was known for torturing Muslims like Bilal ibn Ribah and had strongly opposed Islam.[4] However, no battle took place.[1] According, to Haykal, Umayyah ibn Khalaf took another route.[3] Muhammad then went up to Dhat al-Saq, in the desert of al-Khabar. He prayed there and a mosque was built at the spot.[citation needed]
