غَزْوَةُ دَوْمَةِ الْجَنْدَلِ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ [ مَوْعِدُهَا ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَقَامَ مِنْ مَقْدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِهَا أَشْهُرًا حَتَّى مَضَى ذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَوَلِيَ تِلْكَ الْحِجَّةَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَهِيَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ ثُمَّ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَوْمَةَ الْجَنْدَلِ

[ اسْتِعْمَالُ ابْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ سِبَاعَ بْنَ عُرْفُطَةَ الْغِفَارِيَّ. [ رُجُوعُ الرَّسُولِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلَ إلَيْهَا، وَلَمْ يَلْقَ كَيْدًا، فَأَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَقِيَّةَ سَنَتِهِ
