The Raid on Banū al-Muṣṭaliq

Another famous, or well-known, ghazwah is Banū al-Muṣṭaliq. Banū al-Muṣṭaliq are a tribe from Khuzāʿah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) attacked them for the same reason: they were planning on attacking Madīnah. So he attacks them, and it was such a surprise — it was such a surprise that he attacked them — and he took over their wealth, and their women and children as slaves, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back; it was that fast. So he ended up taking their cattle, all of their livestock, and their women and children as slaves. Now, his army consisted of 700 Muslims. A lot of things happened during this ghazwah, and there are also many lessons to learn.
