* War preparations and peace: *
==================
The Islamic army landed in Tabuk and encamped. He was ready to shake hands with the Romans. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressed the people of the army and delivered a very eloquent sermon. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Encouraged the good of this world and the hereafter. He warned of the punishment of Allah and gave glad tidings of His rewards. This raised the spirits of the army. The defect and disruption caused by the lack of goods, necessities and equipment in them was filled in this way.
On the other hand, this happened to Rome and its allies. When the news of the coach of Lashkar-e-Islam reached the emperor of Rome, he was in awe. He thought that when three thousand Muslims fought against one hundred thousand Romans So for thirty thousand there should be one million troops, then if he is defeated by these untrained Arab volunteers then all the honor he had gained by defeating the emperor of Iran will be reduced to dust. Therefore, he considered it appropriate not to confront the Muslim army, so he ordered his troops to retreat and they dispersed in different cities in the country, the effect of their behavior within the Arabian Peninsula. And outside, the military reputation of the Muslims was greatly improved, and the Muslims gained such important political benefits that it was not easy to obtain in the event of war, when the chiefs of the Christian Arab tribes on the Syrian border saw that Caesar of Rome whom He considered himself a protector and guardian of the Muslims, so he considered it appropriate to establish relations with Medina instead of Constantinople.
* The details are as follows:
Yahna ibn Rubah, the ruler of Aila, came to his service and accepted the payment of Jizyah and made a peace treaty. The people of Jarba and Azrukh also attended the service of the Prophet and agreed to pay Jizyah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wrote a note for them which was safe with him. The people of Maqna made peace on the condition that they produce a quarter of their fruits. He also wrote a letter to the ruler of the house which was as follows:
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful: This butterfly is peace from God and from the Prophet Muhammad. For John the Baptist and the inhabitants of Aila. Allah is responsible for their ships and caravans on land and sea, and Muhammad is responsible for them, and the same is true for the Syrians and the seafarers who are with John. Yes ! If any of their men do something wrong, his wealth will not be able to stand in the way of his life and it will be lawful for the man who takes his wealth. They cannot be prevented from descending on a spring and walking on land or sea. ”*
In addition, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave Hazrat Khalid ibn Waleed a magazine of four hundred and twenty horsemen and sent it to Ukaydar, the ruler of Dumat al-Jundal. And he said: You will find him hunting a blue cow. Hazrat Khalid visited there. When they were so far away that the fort was clearly visible, suddenly a blue cow came out and started rubbing its horns on the gate of the fort. Euclid went out to hunt him. It was a moonlit night. Hazrat Khalid and his riders set it on fire. He was arrested and brought to the service of the Messenger of Allah. He gave his life. He reconciled on the condition of two thousand camels, eight hundred slaves, four hundred armor and four hundred spears. He also agreed to pay Jizya. So he settled the matter with him on the terms of Dumah, Tabuk, Elah and Tayma, including Yahna.
Seeing these conditions, the tribes that had hitherto been instrumental to the Romans realized that it was time to rely on their old patrons. So he became a supporter of Muslims. Thus the borders of the Islamic government were widened and joined directly to the Roman frontier, and the tools of Rome were largely eliminated.
