During the lifetime of Muhammad, Islam spread among multiple tribes across the Arabian Peninsula.

NOT BS — Verdict: True

The Short Version
Reliable historical sources support that Islam expanded beyond Mecca and Medina to multiple tribes across the Arabian Peninsula before Muhammad’s death in 632. Some tribal acceptance was likely political or nominal, and not every tribe converted, but those caveats do not change the core point that the religion spread widely during his lifetime.
Caveats
The claim should not be read as meaning all Arabian tribes had converted by 632.
Some tribal acceptance of Islam appears to have been nominal or tied to political alliance rather than deep religious commitment.
The Ridda Wars after Muhammad’s death show that some earlier conversions or allegiances were unstable, not that no spread had occurred.
