Hudaybiyya Peace Treaty: Difference between revisions

In the month of Dhu l-Qa'da of [[6]]/628, the Prophet (s) saw in the dream that he (s) had gone to Mecca and was performing circumambulation and hajj rituals. This dream of the Prophet (s) has been mentioned in the Qur’an as well,

{{centered pull quote|“Certainly Allah has fulfilled His Apostle’s vision in all truth: You will surely enter the Sacred Mosque, God willing, in safety, with your heads shaven or hair cropped, without any fear. So He knew what you did not know, and He assigned [you] besides that a victory near at hand.” (48:27)}}

The [[Prophet (s)]] narrated this dream for his [[companion]]s and promised them about it and called the Companions for going to [[Mecca]] and performing [['Umra]] and since he (s) was concerned about the hatred of [[Quraysh]] and their possible prevention, called the Arab neighbors of [[Medina]] for this trip as well. The mentioned tribes except few did not accept the call of the Prophet (s) and only the [[Muhajirun]] (Immigrants) and [[Ansar]] (Helpers) of Medina prepared for moving and went out of Medina accompanying the Prophet (s).

The caravan of Muslims consisting of the immigrants, the Helpers and those Arabs who joined them left Medina towards Mecca on Monday Dhu l-Qa’da 1st, 6/628. There are different reports regarding the number of the companions of the Prophet (s) in this journey, but seemingly, the report of Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari saying that, “We, the companions of Hudaybiyya, were 1400” is more famous. Four women were in this crowd as well, one of whom was [[Umm Salama]], a wife of the Prophet (s). The Prophet (s) appointed [['Abd Allah b. Umm Maktum]] or Numayla b. 'Abd Allah Laythi as his vicegerent in Medina.
