Hudaybiyya Peace Treaty: Difference between revisions

After negotiations, the Prophet (s) called [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and told him, "Write 'Bism-illah al-Rahman al-Rahim'." Suhayl b. 'Amr said, "I do not take this name valid, and you should write the name we take valid "Bismik Allahumma" and Imam 'Ali (a) followed the order of the Prophet (s) and wrote so.

Then, the Prophet (s) said, "Write 'this is what Muhammad, Rasul-Allah agreed with Suhayl b. 'Amr.'" Suhayl said, "If we knew you as Rasul-Allah ["Messenger of God"], we would not fight you this much! This title should also be omitted and 'Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah' should be written instead." The Prophet (s) accepted and when he (s) found that it was difficult for 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a) to omit the title of Rasul-Allah following the name of the Prophet (s), the Prophet (s) himself stretched his finger and said, "O 'Ali, show me the place and let me omit this title myself."

# Peace would be made for ten years between the two parties so that people live in security and peace.

# Muslims return to Medina without visiting the [[Ka'ba]] that year and the next year they enter Mecca for performing [['Umra]], conditioned that they do not carry any weapon except a passenger's weapon and do not stay in Mecca more than three days, and that Quraysh would leave the city for the mentioned period.

# Muslims will be obliged to return the people who would escape Mecca for Medina, but the other party would not have such an obligation towards who would escape Medina. (However according to [[Sura al-Mumtahina]] verse 10, in this peace treaty, returning women believers who would escape Mecca for Medina was prohibited.)

In Sahih al-Muslim, it is mentioned that when the [[Sura al-Fath]] was revealed after Hudaybiyya Peace Treaty, the Prophet (s) sent someone to 'Umar and delivered the revelation to him. 'Umar said, "Truly O Messenger of God, this peace treaty is Fath ["victory"]?!" and the Prophet (s) said, "yes".
