632 AC (9H):
When the Arab governor of Tabuk who was an ally of the Romans, proclaimed his intent to fight against the Muslims, he called upon Heraclius to help him achieve his aim. His request was denied. Consequently, when the Prophet, (salla Allahu alihi was sallam), reached Tabuk there was no engagement whereupon he returned to Medina.
634 AC – (11H):
Prophet Muhammad, (salla Allahu alihi was sallam), passed away.
Heraclius never raised a sword against the Muslims, and kept his sons and the elite Roman legions close to him. The Roman protectorate of Syria fell to the Muslims. Heraclius went to Jerusalem and took away from the city what was considered by the Christians to be the "true cross".
It was only shortly before Heraclius' death, when he was ill, that his youngest son became involved in a skirmish in Northern Syria and was subsequently crushed.
The Roman army was comprised of several disintegrating legions, each representative of their own country of origin, for example that of the Byzantines in Northern Syria.
From a historical viewpoint, there were conflicts between Muslims and unbelieving Arabs, and the Byzantines in Syria and the Copts in Egypt. However, historians fell into the error of recording and classifying all the legions as being Romans, whereas it was not the actual Romans themselves who were the participants they were countries under the Roman protectorate.
As we mentioned before, Heraclius did not take up arms against the Prophet, (salla Allahu alihi was sallam).
634 – 636 AC:
Caliphate of Abu Bakr
