Banu Talabah

Banu Talabah also known as the Banu Thalabah was a tribe during the Islamic prophet Muhammads era.[1][2] They were involved in many military conflicts with Muhammad.

Conflict with Muhammad

The first conflict they were involved in was the Invasion of Thi Amr Muhammad ordered a military raid against them. He ordered his men to raid the Banu Muharib and Banu Talabah tribes after he received intelligence that they were allegedly going to raid the outskirts of Medina[1][2]

This was followed by the First Raid on Banu Thalabah in August 627.[3][4][5] Muhammad ordered an attack on the Banu Thalabah tribe, because he suspected they would be tempted to steal his camels, during this raid 9 Muslims were killed[6]

In the same month he ordered the Second Raid on Banu Thalabah, he ordered his men to attack the Banu Thalabah tribe, as revenge for the 1st failed raid on them in which 9 Muslims died[6]

The Last military campaign he ordered against them was the Third Raid on Banu Thalabah, in which he told his men to raid Banu Thalabah and capture their camels as booty[7]

During Abu Bakr's era

After the Ridda Wars against Muslim apostates and after the tribes converted back to Islam (Tabari describes it as entering "once again the gate by which they had gone out") the Banu Talabah came to settle in Medina and asked Abu Bakr "why have we been kept camping from our country" and he replied "you lie, it is no land of yours". However he provided the Banu Talabah with the al-Rabadhah land for pasturing purposes.[8]
