The First Expedition to Badr[1] (Arabic: غزوة سفوان ghazwa Safawān) or the Preliminary Badr Invasion[2] occurred in year 2 AH of the Islamic calendar, in Rabi ul Awal (September 623). Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri raided Muslim territory and stole pasturing camels belonging to Madinah.[1] The Islamic prophet Muhammad was a three days distance away.[1][unreliable source?] Muhammad mobilized 70 men.[2] By the time Muhammad reached the valley of Safawan, al-Fihri fled.[1]
