On the way, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Abu Zar Ghifaari رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) walking apart from the others and said he would live and die apart from the world, which later came true. When Nabi's ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) camel went missing, he was told by revelation that its bridle was caught on a tree, and he found it there. At Tabuk the enemy had already fled, and Khaalid bin Waleed رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) found Ukaydir out hunting at night, just as Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, and captured him. With no battle fought, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed fifteen to twenty days and returned to Madinah in Ramadhaan 9 A.H., and governors such as Yuhanna of Aylah came to agree to pay kharaaj in return for safety.

Accounts differThe book gives the stay at Tabuk as “fifteen to twenty days”.

Whilst travelling, ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Abu Zar Ghifaari رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) travelling aloof from the others. Upon seeing this, Rasulullah ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) commented that Abu Zar رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) will remain aloof from the world and will pass away aloof from the world. This is exactly what happened later as is recorded in the books of history.

In this battle, ’s ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) camel went missing. Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed through (revelation) that its bridle had become entangled to a tree. Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) went to that tree and found the camel as had been revealed to him.

When Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) and the reached Tabuk, they found that the enemy had fled and Hiraql had escaped to Hims. Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hadhrat Khaalid bin Waleed رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) to capture Ukaydir Nasraani and informed him that Ukaydir would be found hunting at night. When Hadhrat Khaalid رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) apprehended him, he was indeed hunting and Hadhrat Khaalid رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) captured him.

Since no battle was fought, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) returned after staying in Tabuk for fifteen to twenty days. This was the last expedition of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him). Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to Madinah in 9 The Romans were terrified of the Muslims throughout this expedition and thus remained inactive. Thereafter Yuhanna, the governor of Aylah came to Rasulullah ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) and the governors of other areas also arrived. They entered into an agreement with Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) and promised to pay (land taxes) in return for which, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them security.
