For sometime, caravans destined for Medina carrying merchandize and provisions for the Muslims from Syria had been attacked and plundered. The perpetrators were, for the most part, marauders from the tribe of Kalb, and the attacks were usually carried out in a place called Dumat al Jandal, an oasis that lay on the border of Syria. Another caravan destined for Medina had been robbed and it was clear that the marauders had no intention of ceasing their activities. It was time to take affirmative action and so with the intent of scattering the marauders and regaining their property, the Prophet (sa) together with a thousand Muslims sped in haste across the desert to Dumat al Jandal. The Prophet (sa) and his followers were well aware that news of their determination would spread swiftly throughout Arabia and that the desired message would reach its intended destinations.
