Expedition of Zayd ibn Harithah (Hisma) Dihya approached the Banu Dubayb (a tribe that converted to Islam and had good relations with Muslims) for help. When the news reached Muhammad, he immediately dispatched
Zayd ibn Harithah with 500 men to punish them. The Muslim army fought with Banu Judham, killed several of them (inflicting heavy casualties), including their chief, Al-Hunayd ibn Arid and his son, and captured 1000 camels, 5000 of their cattle, and 100 women and boys. The chief of the
Banu Judham who had embraced Islam appealed to Muhammad to release his fellow tribesmen, and Muhammad released them. ==Death==
