Ibn Maalik recorded in Al-Mawaaqit Wal-Duhaa that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent an army led by Khalid ibn Al-Waleed to Mishaaf to confront the Byzantines under the command of Sa'd ibn Mu'aadh Al-Thaqafi. This battle took place during the early Caliphate of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (634-644 AD).

Al-Baladhuri in Ansab Al-Ashraaf mentioned that during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz (717-720 AD), a group of rebels led by Al-Ash'ath Al-Khuzaa'i took control of Damascus and were later repelled by Marwan ibn Muhammad. The rebels had taken refuge in Mishaaf, which was then a fortified place. Marwan besieged them and eventually captured Al-Ash'ath and ended the rebellion.
