Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
The Prophet had a dream that they would perorm Hajj in Mecca. So he gahered his companions and marched to Mecca. However the Meccans stopped them at Hudaybiyyah. There they signed a treaty, which at the time was unfair for the Muslims, as the terms and conditions were favored for the Meccans, and they would have to come back the following year to perform Hajj. However the Prophet considered it a big victory, and an entire verse in the Quran was revealed to show that this was a great victory. -
Khaybar Expedition
Khaybar was a rich Jewish town. It consisted of a lot of fortresses. Due to the Jews cooperating with the Kafireen, they had to be punished. So the prophet led an expedition against them. They successfully took over every fortress, and tthe Jews surrendered the town. They negotiated with the Prophet, and eventually they were allowed to stay in Khaybar but they would have to pay half of their producrtions. This was a great victory for the Prophet as he Muslims enjoyed many spoils of war.
