The siege of Ta'if took place in 630, as the Muslims under the leadership of Muhammad besieged the city of Ta'if after their victory in the battles of Hunayn and Autas. One of the chieftains of Ta'if, Urwah ibn Mas'ud, was absent in Yemen during that siege.[1] However, the city did not succumb to the siege. Muhammad brought trebuchets[2] and testudos to use against the fortress, but was unable to penetrate it with these weapons.[3]
