The Prophet organized an expedition to Tabuk in response to reports that the Romans were planning to attack Madina. He raised an army of 30,000 men and Muslims generously donated for the cause, with some donating all their wealth. At Tabuk, the Romans opted not to fight and instead signed a treaty with the Muslims. Upon their return, the Prophet instituted a boycott of the hypocrites in Madina who had undermined the expedition. The event significantly increased the number and reputation of Muslims.

Traders from Syria informed the Holy Prophet that the
Romans were planning to attack Madina. They consider the emerging power of Muslims a threat for the tribes lying on their border of Syria. The Holy Prophet announced in Madina that everyone would take part and donate. Muslims took part and donated generously. H. Abu Bakr donated everything he had. H. Umar donated half of his wealth and H. Uthman donated 1000 Dinars and 200 camels. Women donated their ornaments.

1 The ZATians' Academy - O/A Level [0300-2101569] 2 The Prophet had appointed H. Ali as his deputy in Madina in his absence and said: “You are to me as Haroon was to Moosa save as that I am the last messenger.” The Holy Prophet raised an army of 30000 men. The Hypocrites kept discouraging them by reminding the hot weather and harvesting season. Quran says: “and said: Do not go forth in the heat. Say: the Hellfire is much severe in heat.” (9:81). They neither took part in donations nor in the expedition and made fun of Muslims’ donations (9:79). Muslims faced lots of difficulties in the journey. They ate the leaves of wild plants and slaughtered their camels in need. Muslims reached Tabuk and challenged them but they had no courage to fight with Muslims as they had very bad experience in the Battle of Mutah.

3 They were also impressed by this expedition. They signed a treaty with Muslims and thousands of Muslims accepted Islam in 20 days of camping. When Muslims returned from Tabuk, Allah ordered to boycott the Hypocrites socially. Three true believers, Hilal, Ka’b and Murarah, were also boycotted but they tied themselves with the pillars or Masjid e Nabvi and were pardoned after 50 days (9:118). Hypocrites had build a mosque near Quba and had the plan to do conspirasies against Muslims in the cover of Salah. Allah ordered the Prophet to demolish that structure (9:107). Abdulllah b. Ubay died in the same year and the prophet offered hi funeral prayer but Allah ordered him to stop praying for them.
