Expedition of Hamzah ibn Abdul Muttalib also known as 'Saif Al-Baḥr platoon' or 'Al-Is Caravan Raid' was sent in 1 A.H. of the Islamic calendar in the month of Ramaḍān (March, 623 CE). This operation preceded the expedition of Waddān. None of the Anṣār (Helpers of Madinah) participated in it.〔Mubarakpuri, The Sealed Nectar (Free Version), p. 127.〕 According to ''Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum'' (The Sealed Nectar), a modern Islamic hagiography of Muhammad written by the Indian Muslim author Safi ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, Muhammad ordered the first caravan raid led by Hamza ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (Muhammad's uncle) seven to nine months after the Hijra. A party of thirty to forty men assembled at the seacoast near al-Is, between Mecca and Medina, where Amr ibn Hishām (Abu Jahl), the leader of the caravan was camping with three hundred Meccan riders.〔〔Mubarakpuri, When the Moon Split, p. 147.〕〔 Book contains a list of battles of Muhammad in Arabic. English version (here )〕 Hamza met Abu Jahl there with a view to attack the caravan, but Majdi bin Amr al-Juhani, a Quraysh who was friendly to both the parties intervened between them; so, both parties separated without fighting. Hamza returned to Medina and Abu Jahl proceeded towards Mecca. Muhmmad also entrusted the first flag of Islam to Kinaz bin Husain an Ghanawi.〔〔〔〔〔Muḥammad Ibn ʻAbd al-Wahhāb, Mukhtaṣar zād al-maʻād, p. 345.〕〔(Witness Pioneer "Pre-Badr Missions and Invasions" )〕 ==Islamic primary sources== It is mentioned in Ibn Hisham and Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad (the earliest surviving biography of Muhammad from the 7th century), that for these caravan raids Muhammad gave permission to "plunder" the caravans of theirs enemies and seize their goods and property(s) and said: The Muslim scholar Al-Waqidi also mentions in his Kitab al-Tarikh wa al-Maghazi ("Book of History and Campaigns") that Muhammad said: "This caravan of the Quraysh holds their wealth, and perhaps God will grant it to you as a plunder".〔Rizwi Faizer, (The Life of Muhammad: Al-Waqidi's Kitab Al-Maghazi ), p. 12, ISBN 1136921141, Routledge, 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Is Caravan Raid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
