Summary
Alqama ibn Mujazziz al-Mudlaji was a Companion. In Rabi' al-Akhir of 9 AH the Prophet appointed him over a detachment of three hundred sent to the coasts of Jeddah 1.
The Jeddah coast detachment
He was sent against men of Abyssinia who had gathered near the coasts of Jeddah to raid the people of Mecca. He crossed the sea until he reached their island, and when they heard that the Muslims were coming towards them, they fled 1.
For young visitors
Alqama led a large detachment across the sea to protect the Jeddah coast from pirates who attacked people. They fled as soon as they heard that he was coming.
In Ibn Hisham's sira
Ibn Hisham says that Alqama asked the Prophet to send him in pursuit of those who had killed his brother Waqqas ibn Mujazziz on the day of Dhi Qard, so that he could avenge him, and the Prophet sent him. In his army there was a prank with fire by Abd Allah ibn Hudhafa. About it the Prophet said: "Whoever orders you to disobey, do not obey him." Alqama returned without meeting any harm. See the detachment 2.
