In Muslim histories, the battle is usually described as the Muslims' attempt to take retribution against a Ghassanid chief for taking the life of an emissary; it ended in a draw and the safe retreat of both sides.〔Muhammad Husayn Haykal, ''The Life of Muhammad'', Translated by Isma'il Razi A. al-Faruqi, 1976, American Trust Publications ISBN 0-89259-002-5〕 According to Byzantine sources, the Muslims planned to launch their attack on a feast day. The local Byzantine Vicarius learned of their plans and collected the garrisons of the fortresses. The Muslims were routed after three of their leaders were killed. ==Background== The Treaty of Hudaybiyah initiated a truce between the Muslim forces in Medina and the Qurayshite forces in control of Mecca. Badhan, the Sassanid governor of Yemen, had converted to Islam and many of the southern Arabian tribes also joined the rising power in Medina.〔Sayed Ali Asgher Razwy (1996), ''A Restatement of the History of Islam and Muslims'', (The Battle of Mootah ), ISBN 0-9509879-1-3〕 Muhammad sent his emissary to the Byzantine governor of Province Arabia carrying a letter that was meant for the Byzantine emperor Heraclius. While on his way to Bosra, he was executed in the village of Mu'tah by the orders of a Ghasanid official.〔https://books.google.com/books?id=ExbdVf5fFmUC&pg=PT58&lpg=PT59&focus=viewport&dq=battle+of+mutah&output=html_text〕〔https://books.google.com/books?id=Rx-LAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA50&lpg=PA59&focus=viewport&dq=battle+of+mu%27tah&output=html_text〕 The expedition sent for revenge was the largest Muslim army raised yet against a non-Meccan confederate force and the first to confront the Byzantines.〔 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「Battle of Mu'tah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
