 ==The Story of the Hudaybiyya Peace Treaty==
-In [[6]]/628, [[the Prophet (s)]] and a group of [[Sahaba]] who only had a sword in a sheath and whose number is said to be from 1400 to 1600 left [[Medina]] to visit the [[Ka'ba]] and perform the rituals of [['umra]]. When they arrived in [[Hudaybiyya]], a village which was one station away from [[Mecca]] and 9 stations away from Medina, the polytheists blocked their way and prevented them from going to Mecca. The Prophet (s) had someone, called Kharash, sit on his camel and sent him to Mecca in order to tell the heads of the city that the Muslims were not there for fight; they were there only to visit the Ka'ba and then return home. However, people of Mecca killed the Prophet's (s) camel and some of them wanted to kill Kharash, but others did not let them do it, and they let him return to the Prophet (s).

-The Prophet (s) sent [['Uthman b. 'Affan]] to them and since it took a long time for him to return, there was a rumor that people of Mecca had killed 'Uthman. When this rumor was spread, the Prophet (s) gathered his companions and they pledged their allegiance to him on their lives. The pledge was made under a tree (a samura tree). Thus, the pledge came to be known as the Pledge of the Tree.

 Of people who were present in this event, Jadd b. Qays was the only person who hid behind his camel and did not pledge his allegiance to the Prophet (s). [[Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari]] is quoted as saying that the first person who pledged his allegiance was [['Ali (a)]], and then Abu Sanan 'Abd Allah b. Wahab al-Asadi, and then [[Salman al-Farsi]]. Some people have mentioned [['Abd Allah b. 'Umar]] or Abu Asnan (or Sinan) b. Wahab al-Asadi. It is said that [['Umar]] was the last person who pledged his allegiance to the Prophet (s).
