The Patrol of Buwat^[3] took place in October 623 or 2 A.H. of the Islamic calendar, in Rabi' al-Awwal. Muhammad went with a force of 200 men in order to raid parties of the Quraysh.^[3] Muhammad stayed at Buwat for some time and left without engaging in combat.^[3]

Background and raid

Approximately a month after the patrol of Wadden, Muhammad personally led two hundred men including Muhajirs and Ansars to Bawat, a place on the caravan route of the Quraysh raiders led by Umayyah ibn Khalaf.^[3]^[4]^[5] Ibn Khalaf was believed to have tortured a Muslim named Bilal Ibn Rabah and had strongly opposed Islam.^[6] However, no battle took place.^[3] According to Haykal, Umayyah ibn Khalaf took another route.^[5] Muhammad then went up to Dhat al-Saq in the desert of al-Khabar. He prayed there and a mosque was built at the spot.^{[citation needed]}
