The Patrol of al-Abwa (Arabic: غزوة الأبواء) or Waddan (Arabic: غزوة وَدَّان) occurred on the 12th of Rajab in the second Hijri year or in Safar of the same year. Muhammad took a force of 70 men and when he reached Waddan, the Quraysh were not present. However, the Banu Damrah met with Muhammad and they established a peace agreement for mutual cooperation and safety. No fighting occurred during this campaign.
