'''Sanat al-wufūd''' (Arabic: سنة الوفود) or ''''Ām al-wufūd''' (Arabic: عام الوفود), or the "Year of Delegates" is the 9th year after [[Hijrat]] (630). This is called so because after the [[Opening of Mecca]] (fath al-Makka), many delegates from different Arabian tribes went to [[the Prophet (s)]], and expressed their commitment to Islam, and were kindly received by the Prophet (s). | |||

After the opening of Mecca, many groups of people from different Arabian tribes went to [[Medina]] in order to visit [[the Prophet (s)]] and convert to Islam. They were kindly received by the Prophet (s). This led to a unification of the [[Arabian Peninsula]], turning all the conflicts and quarrels into peace. In his [[A'lam al-wara]], [[Tabarsi]] writes: "when the [[Thaqif]] tribe (people of [[Ta'if]]) converted to Islam, the other tribes sent groups of delegates to [[Medina]] and converted to Islam, as God had said in advance". This refers to the Quranic verse in which God has predicted the Opening of Mecca and the conversion of groups of people to Islam: | After the opening of Mecca, many groups of people from different Arabian tribes went to [[Medina]] in order to visit [[the Prophet (s)]] and convert to Islam.
