Some apologists make this claim by citing the books of Ibn Sa'd and Ibn Hisham. On the other hand, Ibn Ishaq says that the first event in the chronology was Zaid's raid on a place called Wadi-al-Qurra and then came a skirmish with Banu Fazara. Mubarakpuri (a 20th century author) claims that Zaid was on a reconnaissance mission. Moreover, the Sahih sources do not even hint at any trading journey. So, seemingly, the historians have contradicted each other. | Some apologists make this claim by citing the books of Ibn Sa'd and Ibn Hisham.

This is a typical case of small-scale battles, skirmishes and taking of POWs, all of which have been happening in the world since time immemorial—since the dawn of humanity. What special did Muhammad do about it? Muslims consider Muhammad a messenger of God, the best of all mankind, the best of creation, and an example to follow (imitate). But here, the minimal conclusion we can make is that he didn't even condemn the bloodshed, the deaths of several humans, and the suffering that their families had to go through. | ||
