He was also one sent to investigate the events of the Expedition of Bir Maona. When the news of this massacre reached Muhammad, he was greatly grieved and sent Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri and an Ansar to investigate the whole matter.Mubarakpuri, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r_80rJHIaOMC&pg=PA352 The sealed nectar: biography of the Noble Prophet], pp. 352. On his way back to Qarqara, Amr bin Umayyah rested in the shade of a tree, and there two men of Banu Kilab joined him. When they slept, Amr killed them both, thinking that by doing that he would avenge some of his killed companions.
Then he found out that they had been given a pledge of protection by Muhammad. He told Muhammad what he had done. Then Muhammad said to ‘Amr, that he (Muhammad) must pay a debt for the killing of those he pledged protection to (the Dhimmi's)
