Expedition of Ghalib ibn Abdullah al-Laithi (Fadak)

Expedition

Many of Muhammad's followers were killed in the Expedition of Bashir Ibn Sa’d al-Ansari (Fadak), so Muhammad sent Ghalib ibn Abdullah al-Laithi to avenge the death of his comrades. Muhammad said to Ghalib according to Ibn Sa'd:

Muhammad also said to al-Zubayr, another leader of this 200 man team:

Ghalib bin ‘Abdullah at the head of 200 men was despatched to Fadak, and they successfully avenged there comrades. They killed all the rebels who fell into the hands of the Muslim force, and a captured a lot of booty (i.e. the camels were captured, which they drove back to Medina).
