List Of Expeditions Of Muhammad
__NOTOC__ The list of expeditions of Muhammad includes the expeditions undertaken by the Muslim community during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Some sources use the word ''ghazwa'' and a related plural ''maghazi'' in a narrow technical sense to refer to the expeditions in which Muhammad took part, while using the word ''sariyya'' (pl. ''saraya'') for those early Muslim expeditions where he was not personally present. Other sources use the terms ''ghazwa'' and ''maghazi'' generically to refer to both types of expeditions. Early Islamic sources contain significant divergences in the chronology of expeditions. Unless noted otherwise, the dates given in this list are based on ''Muhammad at Medina'' by Montgomery Watt, who in turn follows the chronology proposed by Leone Caetani. List of expeditions ; Type legend See also * Types of Islamic Jihad * Islam and war Islam is an Abrahamic religions, Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the Quran, an ...

Wahshi said in reply, "I didn't approach Muhammad at all, because his companions are nearer to him than anyone else. Ali too is extraordinarily vigilant in the battlefield. However, Hamza is so furious that, while fighting, he does not pay any attention to any other side and it is po ...

Melee
A melee ( or ) is a confused hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand fight among several people. The English term ''melee'' originated circa 1648 from the French word ' (), derived from the Old French ''mesler'', from which '':wikt:medley, medley'' and '':wikt:meddle, meddle'' were also derived. The 1812 tabletop wargame ''Kriegsspiel'', and H.G. Wells' 1913 ''Little Wars'', referred to the hand-combat stage of the game as a ''melée,'' or ', respectively. The term was brought over to tabletop role-playing games such as ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and in turn to role-playing video games, to describe any close-combat encounter.
