Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan:(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and when they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish constituting the front of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right." By Allah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the march of the Muslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet (ﷺ) went on advancing till he reached the Thaniya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to them (i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet (ﷺ) sat down. The people tried their best to cause the she-camel to get up but in vain, so they said, "Al-Qaswa' (i.e. the she-camel's name) has become stubborn! Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, for stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him Who stopped the elephant." Then he said, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me anything which will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them." The Prophet (ﷺ) then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) changed his way till he dismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which the people used in small amounts, and in a short while the people used up all its water and complained to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); of thirst. The Prophet (ﷺ) took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered them to put the arrow in that pit. By Allah, the water started and continued sprouting out till all the people quenched their thirst and returned with satisfaction. While they were still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al- Khuza`i came with some persons from his tribe Khuza`a and they were the advisers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who would keep no secret from him and were from the people of Tihama. Budail said, "I left Ka`b bin Luai and 'Amir bin Luai residing at the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or their women and children) with them, and will wage war against you, and will prevent you from visiting the Ka`ba." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We have not come to fight anyone, but to perform the `Umra. No doubt, the war has weakened Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so if they wish, I will conclude a truce with them, during which they should refrain from interfering between me and the people (i.e. the 'Arab infidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over those infidels, Quraish will have the option to embrace Islam as the other people do, if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to fight. But if they do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will fight with them defending my Cause till I get killed, but (I am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause victorious." Budail said, "I will inform them of what you have said." So, he set off till he reached Quraish and said, "We have come from that man (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying something which we will disclose to you if you should like." Some of the fools among Quraish shouted that they were not in need of this information, but the wiser among them said, "Relate what you heard him saying." Budail said, "I heard him saying so-and-so," relating what the Prophet (ﷺ) had told him. `Urwa bin Mas`ud got up and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They said, "Yes." He added, "Am I not the father?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust me?" They said, "No." He said, "Don't you know that I invited the people of `Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my relatives and children and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Well, this man (i.e. the Prophet) has offered you a reasonable proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to meet him." They said, "You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and started talking to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) told him almost the same as he had told Budail. Then `Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't you feel any scruple in extirpating your relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst the Arabs extirpating his relatives before you? On the other hand, if the reverse should happen, (nobody will aid you, for) by Allah, I do not see (with you) dignified people, but people from various tribes who would run away leaving you alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused him and said, "Do you say we would run and leave the Prophet (ﷺ) alone?" `Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr." `Urwa said to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, were it not for the favor which you did to me and which I did not compensate, I would retort on you." `Urwa kept on talking to the Prophet (ﷺ) and seizing the Prophet's beard as he was talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba was standing near the head of the Prophet, holding a sword and wearing a helmet. Whenever `Urwa stretched his hand towards the beard of the Prophet, Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of the sword and say (to `Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." `Urwa raised his head and asked, "Who is that?" The people said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba." `Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I not doing my best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?" Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He killed them and took their property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him, "As regards your Islam, I accept it, but as for the property I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through treason). `Urwa then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By Allah, whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. `Urwa returned to his people and said, "O people! By Allah, I have been to the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An- Najashi, yet I have never seen any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is respected by his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke, they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect." `Urwa added, "No doubt, he has presented to you a good reasonable offer, so please accept it." A man from the tribe of Bani Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they allowed him, and when he approached the Prophet and his companions, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He is so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that respects the Budn (i.e. camels of the sacrifice). So, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn were brought before him and the people received him while they were reciting Talbiya. When he saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is not fair to prevent these people from visiting the Ka`ba." When he returned to his people, he said, 'I saw the Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked (with stabs on their backs). I do not think it is advisable to prevent them from visiting the Ka`ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got up and sought their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When he approached the Muslims, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Here is Mikraz and he is a vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the Prophet and as he was talking, Suhail bin `Amr came. When Suhail bin `Amr came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Now the matter has become easy." Suhail said to the Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) called the clerk and said to him, "Write: By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail said, "As for 'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: By Your Name O Allah, as you used to write previously." The Muslims said, "By Allah, we will not write except: By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Write: By Your Name O Allah." Then he dictated, "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has concluded." Suhail said, "By Allah, if we knew that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you from visiting the Ka`ba, and would not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin `Abdullah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah! I am Apostle of Allah even if you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad bin `Abdullah." (Az-Zuhri said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) accepted all those things, as he had already said that he would accept everything they would demand if it respects the ordinance of Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his companions perform `Umra.)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Suhail, "On the condition that you allow us to visit the House (i.e. Ka`ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around it." Suhail said, "By Allah, we will not (allow you this year) so as not to give chance to the 'Arabs to say that we have yielded to you, but we will allow you next year." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) got that written. Then Suhail said, "We also stipulate that you should return to us whoever comes to you from us, even if he embraced your religion." The Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will such a person be returned to the pagans after he has become a Muslim? While they were in this state Abu- Jandal bin Suhail bin `Amr came from the valley of Mecca staggering with his fetters and fell down amongst the Muslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad! This is the very first term with which we make peace with you, i.e. you shall return Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The peace treaty has not been written yet." Suhail said, "I will never allow you to keep him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.: Mikraz said, "We allow you (to keep him)." Abu Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will I be returned to the pagans though I have come as a Muslim? Don't you see how much I have suffered?" (continued...) (continuing... 1): -3.891:... ... Abu Jandal had been tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'Aren't you truly the Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said, 'Isn't our Cause just and the cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I do not disobey Him, and He will make me victorious.' I said, 'Didn't you tell us that we would go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you will visit it and perform Tawaf around it?' " `Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'Indeed, he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will make him victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I said, 'Was he not telling us that we would go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would go to the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it." (Az-Zuhri said, " `Umar said, 'I performed many good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I asked them.' ") When the writing of the peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to his companions, "Get up and' slaughter your sacrifices and get your head shaved." By Allah none of them got up, and the Prophet repeated his order thrice. When none of them got up, he left them and went to Um Salama and told her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um Salama said, "O the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah! Do you want your order to be carried out? Go out and don't say a word to anybody till you have slaughtered your sacrifice and call your barber to shave your head." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and did not talk to anyone of them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing that, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) got up, slaughtered their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads of one another, and there was so much rush that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some believing women came (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ); and Allah revealed the following Divine Verses:-- "O you who believe, when the believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ." (60.10) `Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan married one of them, and Safwan bin Umaiya married the other. When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Medina, Abu Basir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) handed him over to them. They took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some dates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see you have a fine sword." The other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried it many times." Abu Basir said, "Let me have a look at it." When the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him he said, "This man appears to have been frightened." When he reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "My companion has been murdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by Allah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but Allah has saved me from them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war kindler he would be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) would return him to them again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got himself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they heard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them (i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet (ﷺ) requesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) promising that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) would be secure. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for them (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed the following Divine Verses: "And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them. ... the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in their hearts ... the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and haughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the Prophet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most Merciful," and they (the mushriks) prevented them (the Muslims) from visiting the House (the Ka`bah).

Sahih
It is related from al-Miswar ibn Makhrama and Marwan, the hadith of each supporting the other's, who said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, set out at the time of al-Hudaybiyya. When they had gone part of the way, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Khalid ibn al-Walid is at al-Ghamim with the vanguard of the Quraysh cavalry, so go to the right.' By Allah, Khalid was not aware of them until there was the dust of the army appeared. .Then he galloped back to warn Quraysh. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, proceeded until he was at ath-Thaniyya from where they could go down to them and then his camel knelt with him. The people said, 'Go! go!' It stayed put. They said, 'Al-Qaswa' has become headstrong. Al-Qaswa' has become headstrong.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Al-Qaswa' is not headstrong, and that is not her nature. But the One who held back the Elephant has held her back. Then he said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, if they ask for anything by which they show respect for the sacred things of Allah, I will grant it to them.' Then he scolded the camel and she got up." He said, "He turned aside from them until he stopped at the furthest part of al-Hudaybiyya at a pit containing a small amount of water. The people kept taking small amounts from it, and they did not leave it until there was none of it left. So the people complained of thirst to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He removed an arrow from his quiver and then commanded that they put it in the pit. By Allah, it continued to flow for them and quench their thirst until they left it. While they were like that, Budayl ibn Warqa' al-Khuza'i arrived with a group of people from Khuza'a. They were the confidents and advisors of the Messenger of Allah from the people of Tihama. Budayl said, 'I left Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy and 'Amir ibn Lu'ayy who have camped at the water-holes of al-Hudaybiyya. They have are milk camels and camels with young with them. They will fight you and bar you from the House.' "'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'We did not come to fight anyone, but we came to perform 'umra. War has weakened Quraysh and caused them harm, so if they wish, I will conclude a truce with them in which they will leave me and the people alone. If I am victorious, then they can enter what people have entered if they so wish. Or, if not, they will have had a respite from war. If they refuse, then, by the One in whose hand my soul is, I will fight them for the sake of this business of mine until I am killed. Let Allah carry out His command.' Budayl said, 'I will convey to them what you say.'" He said, "He went until he came to Quraysh and said, 'We have come to you from this man and we have heard what he said. If you wish us to present it to you, we will do so.' Their foolish ones said, 'We have no need for you to inform us of anything!' Those of them with good sense said, 'Tell us what you heard him say.' He said, 'I heard him say such-and-such, and such-and-such,' and he recounted to them what the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said. 'Urwa ibn Mas'ud got up and said, 'O people! Are you not like a father [to me]?' They answered, 'Yes, indeed.' He said, 'Am I not like a son [to you]?' They answerted, 'Yes indeed.' He said, 'Do you suspect me at all?' They answerted, 'No.' He said, 'Do you not know that I summoned for war the people of 'Ukaz, and when they refused me, I came to you with my family and children and those who obeyed me?' They replied, 'Yes indeed.' He said, 'This man has offered you a sensible plan. Accept it and let me go to him.' They said, 'Go to him.' He went to him and began to speak to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the like of what he had said to Budayl. At that 'Urwa said, 'O Muhammad, do you mean to eradicate your people? Have you heard of anyone of the Arabs who eradicated his people before you? If the other happens, by Allah, I do not see notables here, but rather I see a motley lot of people who will actually flee and desert you.' Abu Bakr said to him, 'Suck al-Lat's nipples! Would we flee from him and desert him!' He asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'Abu Bakr.' He said, 'By the One who has my soul in His hand, were it not for a favour I owe you and for which I have not repaid you, I would have answered you back!'" He said, "He began to talk to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and when he talked, he took hold of his beard. Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba was standing by the head of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a sword and wearing a helmet. Whenever 'Urwa reached his hand toward the beard of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he would strike his hand with the hilt of the sword. He said to him, 'Keep your hand away from the beard of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace!' 'Urwa lifted his head and asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba.' He said, 'Treacherous one! Am I not striving [to remedy] your treachery?' Al-Mughira had accompanied some people in the Jahiliyya and he killed them and took their money. Then he came [to Madina] and became Muslim. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'As for his Islam, I accept it. As for the money, I will have nothing to do with it.' "Then 'Urwa began to scan the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with his eyes. He said, 'By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would not spit but that it landed in the palm of one of their men and he would rub his hand and skin with it. If he gave a command, they hastened to do it. When he did wudu', they would practically fight over his left-over wudu' water. When they spoke, they lowered their voices in his presence and none of them would fix his gaze on him out of respect for him.' 'Urwa returned to his companions and said, 'O people! By Allah, I have visited kings, and I have visited Caesar, Chosroes and the Negus, and by Allah, I have not seen a king whose people respect him as the Companions of Muhammad respect Muhammad. He would not spit but that it landed in the palm of one of their men and he would rub his hand and skin with it. If he gave a command, they hastened to do it. When he did wudu', they would practically fight over his left-over wudu' water. When they spoke, they lowered their voices in his presence and none of them would fix his gaze on him out of respect for him. By Allah, he He has offered you a sensible plan, so accept it.' "A man of the Banu Kinana said, 'Let me go to him.' They said, 'Go to him.' When he was in sight of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his Companions, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'This is so-and-so. He is one of the people who have esteem for sacrificial camels. Drive them in front of him.' They were driven in front of him and the people met him saying the talbiya. When he saw that, he said, 'Glory be to Allah! It is not proper to bar these people from the House!' When he returned to his companions, he said, 'I have seen the sacrificial camels which are garlanded and marked. I do not think that these people should be barred from the House.' "A man among them called Mikraz ibn Hafs caught up and said, 'Let me go to him.' They said, 'Go to him.' When he was in sight of them, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'This is Mikraz. He is a shameless man.' He began to speak to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and while he was speaking to him, Suhayl ibn 'Amr arrived." Ma'mar related from Ayyub from 'Ikrima, "When Suhayl ibn 'Amr came, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Your business has become easy for you.'" Ma'mar said that az-Zuhri said in his hadith, "Suhayl ibn 'Amr came and said, 'Write a document between us and you.' So the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, summoned the scribe and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Mericful.' Suhayl said, 'By Allah, I do not know what "the All-Merciful" is. Rather write, "In Your name, O Allah," as you used to write.' The Muslims said, 'By Allah, we will only write, "In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful!"' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Write: 'In Your name, O Allah."' Then he said, 'This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed." Suhayl said, 'By Allah, if we had known that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would not have barred you from the House nor fought you. Rather write: "Muhammad son of 'Abdullah."' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'By Allah, I am the Messenger of Allah, even if you deny me. Write: "Muhammad son of 'Abdullah."'' Az-Zuhri said, "That is because of his words, 'If they ask for anything by which they show respect for the sacred things of Allah, I will grant it to them.'" "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "On condition that you let us go to the House and do tawaf of it.' Suhayl said, 'By Allah, the Arabs will not say of us that we were forced to submit. Rather that will that place in the coming year.' So he wrote. Suhayl said, 'On the condition that if any of our men comes to you, even if he has your religion, you will return him to us.' The Muslims said, 'Glory be to Allah! How can someone who has come as a Muslim be returned to the idolaters!' At that moment Abu Jandal ibn Suhayl ibn 'Amr arrived dragging his chains, having left the bottom part of Makka. He then threw himself down in the midst of the Muslims. Suhayl said, 'This, O Muhammad, is the first term of the agreement with you - that you return him to me.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'We have not finished the document yet.' He said, 'By Allah, I will not make peace with you on any conditions ever!' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Endorse it for me.' He said, 'I will not endorse it for you.' He said, 'Do it.' He said, 'I will not do it.' Mikraz said, 'We endorse it for you.' Abu Jandal said, 'O company of Muslims! Am I to be returned to the idolaters when I have come as a Muslim! Do you not see what I have suffered?' He had been severely tortured for Allah." He said, "'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'I went to the Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Are you not truly the Prophet of Allah?' He replied, 'Yes indeed.' I said, Do we not have the truth while our enemy have the false?' He answered, 'Yes indeed.' I said, 'Then why do we concede humbleness in our deen?' He said, 'I am the Messenger of Allah and I do not disobey Him. He will make me victorious.' I asked, 'Did you not tell us that we would go to the House and do tawaf of it?' He said, 'Yes, but did I inform you that we would go to it this year?'" 'I said, 'No.' He said, 'You will go to it and do tawaf of it.'" 'Umar said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu Bakr! Is this one not truly the Prophet of Allah?' He replied, 'Certainly.' I asked, 'Do we not have the truth while our enemy has the false?' He replied, 'Yes indeed.' I said, 'Then why do we concede humbleness in our deen?' He said, 'O man! He is the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and does not disobey his Lord and He will help him to victory. Hold to his command. By Allah, he is based on the truth' I said, 'Did he not tell us that we would go to the House and do tawaf of it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he inform you that we would go to it this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'You will go to it and do tawaf of it.'" Az-Zuhri said, "'Umar said, 'I did many good deeds to make up for that.' He said, "When the agreeing on the document was finished, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to his Companions, 'Get up and sacrifice and then shave your heads.'" He said, "By Allah, not a man of them got up until he had said that three times. When none of them got up, he went to Umm Salama and mentioned to her what he had encountered from the people. Umm Salama said, 'O Prophet of Allah, do you want that done? Then go out without saying a word to anyone until you have sacrificed your camels and then summon your barber and have him shave your head.' So he went out without speaking to anyone until he had done that. He sacrificed his camels and summoned his barber who shaved his head. When they saw that, they got up and slaughtered their camels and shaved one another's heads so that they were practically fighting one out of sorrow. Then some believing women came to him, and Allah Almighty sent down: 'O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, submit them to a test- to - Do not hold to any marriage ties with women who reject." (60:10) On that day 'Umar divorced two wives of his who were idolaters. Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan married one of them and Safwan ibn Umayya married the other. "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, returned to Madina. Abu Basir, a man of Quryash who was a Muslim, came to him. They (the Makkans] sent two men to fetch him and they said, 'In accordance with the treaty which you have given us.' So he handed him over to the two men. They took him as far as Dhu'l-Hulayfa and there they stopped to eat some dates which they had. Abu Basir said to one of the two men, 'By Allah, O so-and-so, I see that this sword of yours is excellent!' The other unsheathed it and said, 'Yes indeed. By Allah, it is excellent! I have tested it and tested it again.' Abu Basir said, 'Let me have a look at it.' So he gave it to him, and Abu Basir struck him until he was stone dead. The other man fled until he reached Madina and entered the mosque running. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw him, he said, 'I see this man is terrified.' When he reached the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he said, 'By Allah, he has killed my companion, and would have killed me as well!' Abu Basir came and said, 'Prophet of Allah, by Allah, Allah has let you fulfil your agreement. You returned me to them. Then Allah saved me from them.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Woe to his mother! What a war-sparker if only he had supporters!' When [Abu Basir] heard that, he knew that he would return him to them again, so he went out until he came the coast of the sea." He said, "Abu Jandal ibn Suhayl got free of them and joined Abu Basir. Whenever a man of Quraysh became Muslim, he would only go out and join Abu Basir until there were a band of them together. By Allah, whenever they heard about a caravan belonging to Quraysh leaving for Syria, they would stop it and kill them and take their property. So Quraysh sent to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entreating him by Allah and kinship to send word [to Abu Basir] and that whoever came to him [the Prophet] would be safe. So the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent word to them and Allah Almighty sent down, 'It is He who held their hands back from you, and your hands from them in the valley of Makka, after giving you the upper hand over them. Allah sees what you do... to ... the fanatical rage of the Days of Ignorance .' (48:24-26) Their fanatical rage was that they did not affirm that he was the Prophet of Allah and did not affirm, 'In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful,' and came between them and the House." Abu 'Abdullah said, "Ma'arra is the cause of the scabies, tazayyalu means "to distinguish". The zeal of people is making protection inviolable. 'I defended the protected place so that it would not be entered.'"
