After the Conquest of Makkah in 8 Hijri, the power and influence of Islam spread rapidly across the Arabian Peninsula. In 9 Hijri, delegations from various Arab tribes began arriving in Madina to pledge allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and accept Islam. This influx of deputations was so significant that the year was named Aam al-Wufood (Year of Deputations). The phenomenon is referenced in Surah An-Nasr, which speaks of people entering Allah's religion in multitudes.
The Year of Deputations (9 Hijri) followed the Conquest of Makkah (8 Hijri) and preceded the Farewell Pilgrimage (10 Hijri). During this year, the Prophet (PBUH) also sent out teachers and missionaries to various tribes to instruct them in Islamic teachings. It was also the year of the expedition of Tabuk, the last military campaign led by the Prophet (PBUH) himself.
