Sanat al-Wufud: Difference between revisions

After the [[conquest 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]]'', [[al-Tabrisi]] 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 Qur'anic [[verse]] in which God has predicted the conquest of Mecca and the conversion of groups of people to Islam:

Before the 9th year of Hijra, some delegates went to the Prophet (s) as well. In his ''Tarikh'' (History), al-Ya'qubi mentions 26 tribes whose heads went to Medina with delegates.
