Second battle of Mu'ta
In June 632 Usama ibn Zayd led a military campaign against Byzantine Syria three years after the Battle of Mu'tah. Following the Farewell Pilgrimage, Muhammad appointed Usama to lead an invasion force into Balqa, aiming to avenge those killed at Mu'tah, including Usama's father and Muhammad's adopted son, Zayd ibn Harithah.
