16/02/2012| IslamWeb
Historians have agreed to call the military expedition led by the Prophet, 
, himself as a Ghazwah (invasion), whether he participated in the fighting or not. They also call the military expedition that he commanded, but did not lead in person, a Sariyyah (platoon). During these Sariyyahs, the Prophet, , appointed many Companions to lead the Muslim army and entrusted the Muslim flags to them to carry.
Here are some of them, may Allah be pleased with them who were from the Muhaajiroon (Muslims who migrated to Madeenah).
1. Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allah be pleased with him:
His full name is 'Abdullaah ibn Abi Quhaafah –'Uthmaan- ibn 'Aamir ibn Ka'b At-Taymi Al-Qurashi, and his nickname is Abu Bakr. He was the first man who believed in the Prophet, , and he was his closest companion throughout his mission. When the disbelievers drove the Prophet, , out of Makkah, he was with him in the cave (hiding from them). He was the leader of a platoon to Bani Fizaarah. Beside that, he has many other outstanding traits.
