The Battle of Mutah (629 AD) was the most significant and the fiercest battle fought during Muhammad's lifetime, and is also considered one of the most important battles of the Byzantine Empire during the 7th century. Several of Muhammad's closest companions died in this battle. The tombs of Zayd ibn Harithah, Jafar ibn Abi Talib, and Abdullah bin Rawahhah are located in the town of Al-Mazar Al-Janubi near Kerak.
