Historical Usage
Battle of Dhu Qarad (625 CE): This battle took place between the Muslims, led by Prophet Muhammad, and the Ghassanid Arab tribes, led by Al-Harith ibn Abi Shammas. The Ghassanids, who were traditional allies of the Byzantines, had allegedly been pressured by the Byzantines to attack the Muslims. The Muslims emerged victorious, and this battle is considered a significant early military success for the Muslims in the expansion of their territories.
625 CE
Battle of Mu'tah (629 CE): The Battle of Mu'tah was a military campaign led by Muslim forces, under the command of Muhammad ibn Muslimah, against the Ghassanid Arab tribes, who were again allied with the Byzantines. This battle marked the Muslims' first major engagement in Syria. Despite early successes, the Muslims were unable to secure a decisive victory and were ultimately forced to retreat. The defeat at Mu'tah is considered a turning point in the Muslim expansion into Syria and the Levant.
