Overview
Hamra al-Asad is a place eight miles south of Medina. The Prophet reached it the day after the battle of Uhud, Sunday 8 Shawwal 3 AH, in pursuit of the retreating army of Quraysh. He camped there on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then returned to Medina. 1
Al-Mubarakfuri counts the expedition of Hamra al-Asad as a continuation of Uhud, not as an independent expedition. 1
The coordinates are approximate, based on the distance given in the source, and need an additional source.
