Invasion of Bahran

The Invasion of Bahran occurred in the year 3 A.H of the Islamic calendar of the 4th or 5th month. Muhammad sent 300 troops to Bahran, in the area of Al-Furu, to raid the Banu Sulaym.

Throughout the invasion, they did not meet any enemies, and no fighting took place. Muhammad occupied the area for 3 months. The expedition is regarded as a "Patrolling Invasion", according to Muslim scholar "Saifur Rahman al-Mubarakpuri".

This event is mentioned in Ibn Hisham's biography of Muhammad, and other historical sources. Modern secondary sources which mention this, include the award winning book, Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar)

After this raid, Muhammad also accepted ransom for the some of the prisoners he captured in Badr.
