What is the general Arabic term for a military expedition in which the Prophet (PBUH) personally participated?

Explanation

– Ghazwa refers specifically to a military expedition in which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) personally participated, distinguishing it from expeditions led solely by his companions.
– Historical accounts record approximately 27 such Ghazawat throughout the Madani period of the Prophet’s life, varying significantly in scale and outcome.
– For exams, remember that a Sariyyah refers instead to a military expedition dispatched by the Prophet (PBUH) but led by a companion, without his direct personal participation.
