Expedition of Zayd ibn Harithah (Al-Jumum)

Expedition of Zayd ibn Harithah in al-Jumum took place in September 627 (AH 6).

Zayd ibn Harithah was the freed slave and the adopted son of Muhammad. A platoon, under the leadership of Zayd ibn Harithah, was sent to Al Jumum, the habitation of Banu Salim, in the same year. A group of Non-Muslims were captured. A woman from Banu Muzaina was also captured, and she showed them the way to the enemy’s camp. There the Muslims took some captives and gained a lot of booty. Later on, Muhammad granted the woman her freedom and married her to one of his followers.
