Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

I say: Some have alleged that this expedition took place in Rajab of the year 8 AH.

Expedition of Abū Qatadah to Khudrah
Al-Wāqidī relates in his Maghāzī: They say the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched Abū Qatadah ibn Ribʿī al-Anṣārī against the tribe of Ghaṭafān with fifteen men and instructed him to launch a surprise attack. He advanced, fell upon a large encampment of theirs, and surrounded it. One of the inhabitants cried out, “O Khudrah!” Some of their men fought back; those who showed themselves were killed. The raiders drove off the livestock—camels and two thousand sheep—and captured many prisoners. They were away for fifteen nights; this occurred in Shaʿbān of that same year. His next expedition, to Idham, followed soon after in Ramadan.

Death of Zaynab, Daughter of the Prophet ﷺ
She was his eldest daughter. She died in this same year, and Umm ʿAtiyyah al-Anṣāriyyah, together with other women, washed her body. The Prophet ﷺ handed them his waist-cloth, saying, “Shroud her in this next to her skin.” Her daughter, Ummāmah bint Abī al-ʿĀṣ, was the child the Prophet ﷺ used to carry in prayer.

قلت: زعم بعض الناس أن هذه السرية كانت في رجب سنة ثمان. سرية أبي قتادة إلى خضرة: قال الواقدي في مغازيه: قالوا بعث رسول الله ﷺ أبا قتادة بن ربعي الأنصاري إلى غطفان في خمسة عشر رجلا، وأمره أن يشن عليهم الغارة. فسار وهجم على حاضر منهم عظيم فأحاط به، فصرخ رجل منهم: يا خضرة! وقاتل منهم رجال فقتلوا من أشرف لهم، وأستاقوا النعم، فكانت بعير وألفي شاة. وسبوا سبيا كثيرا. وغابوا خمس عشرة ليلة وذلك في شعبان من السنة. ثم كانت سريته إلى إضم على إثر ذلك في رمضان. وفاة زينب بنت النبي ﷺ: وكانت أكبر بناته. توفيت في هذه السنة وغسلتها أم عطية الأنصارية وغيرها. وأعطاهن النبي ﷺ حقوه، فقال: "أشعرنها إياه". وبنتها أمامة بنت أبي العاص، هى التي كان النبي ﷺ يحملها في الصلاة
