[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hudaybiyah, near the roots of the tree that Allah Almighty mentioned in the Quran. There was a branch from that tree on the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I lifted it off his back. Ali ibn Abi Talib and Suhail ibn Amr were sitting in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Ali, "Write." So he mentioned a few lines from the conversation with Suhail ibn Amr. Abdullah ibn Mugaffal said, "While we were like this, thirty young men came out towards us carrying weapons and anger appeared on their faces. The Prophet ﷺ supplicated against them, and Allah took away their eyesight. We took hold of them and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, 'Did you come under the protection of anyone or did anyone give you security?' They said, 'O Allah's Messenger, No!' So he let them go and Allah revealed the verse, 'And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them within the area of Mecca, after He caused you to overcome them. And Allah sees what you do.' (Surah Al-Fath, 48:24)"  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي أَصْلِ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ غُصْنٌ مِنْ أَغْصَانِ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةِ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَفَعْتُهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَسُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو جَالِسَانِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «اكْتُبْ» فَذَكَرَ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ أَسْطُرًا مُخَرَّجَةً فِي الْكِتَابَيْنِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا ثَلَاثُونَ شَابًّا عَلَيْهِمُ السِّلَاحُ فَثَارُوا فِي وجُوهِنَا فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ اللَّهُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ جِئْتُمْ فِي عَهْدِ أَحَدٍ أَوْ هَلْ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَمَانًا؟» فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ لَا فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا} [الفتح 24]  

I heard ‘Ali ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, az-Zubair and al-Miqdad, and he said: “Go to the garden of Khakh, where you will find a woman riding a camel with whom there is a letter, and take it from her.” We set out with our horses galloping, until we reached that garden, and there we found the woman. We said: Give us the letter. She said: I do not have any letter. We said: Either you give us the letter or we will remove your clothes. So she brought it out from her braided hair, and we took it and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in it (was written): From Hatib bin Abi Baltaʿah to some of the mushrikeen of Makkah, telling them about some of the plans of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿO Hatib, what is this?ʿ He said: Do not be hasty in judging me, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I am a man who was attached to Quraish but I was one of them. The Muhajireen who are with you have relatives who will protect their families in Makkah, and I wanted, as i have no blood ties among them, to do them a favour so that they would protect my family. I did not do it out of kufr or because I apostatized from my religion, or because I approved of Kufr after becoming Muslim. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿHe has told you the truth.ʿ ʿUmar ؓ said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let me strike the neck of this hypocrite. He said: “He was present at Badr, and you do not know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr and said: ʿDo what you wish, for I have forgiven you.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 600)   

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا» فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ فَقُلْنَا لَهَا أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ فَقَالَتْ مَا مَعِي مِنْ كِتَابٍ فَقُلْنَا آللَّهِ لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُلْقِيَنَّ الثِّيَابَ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا حَاطِبُ مَا هَذَا؟ » قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَكَانَ مَنْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينِ لَهُمْ قَرَابَاتٌ بِمَكَّةَ يَحْمُونَ قَرَابَتَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي قَرَابَةٌ أَحْمِي بِهَا أَهْلِي فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِنْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ عِنْدَهُمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ قَرَابَتِي وَأَهْلِي وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي وَلَا رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ صَدَقَكُمْ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ» وَأَنْزَلَ فِيهِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ} الْآيَةَ  

When the Prophet ﷺ intended to perform ʿUmra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca did not let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only. When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: 'These are the terms on which Muhammad, Messenger of Allah ﷺ agreed (to make peace).' They said, "We will not agree to this, for if we believed that you are Messenger of Allah ﷺ we would not prevent you, but you are Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ and also Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah." Then he said to ʿAli, "Rub off (the words) 'Messenger of Allah ﷺ' ", but ʿAli said, "No, by Allah, I will never rub off your name." So, Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ ) even if he wished to follow him and he (the Prophet ﷺ ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the latter wants to stay.' When the Prophet ﷺ entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went to ʿAli and said, "Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed." So, the Prophet ﷺ went out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his companions), calling, "O Uncle! O Uncle!" ʿAli received her and led her by the hand and said to Fatima, "Take your uncle's daughter." Zaid and Jaʿfar quarreled about her. ʿAli said, "I have more right to her as she is my uncle's daughter." Jaʿfar said, "She is my uncle's daughter, and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is my brother's daughter." The Prophet ﷺ judged that she should be given to her aunt, and said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said to 'All, "You are from me and I am from you", and said to Jaʿfar, "You resemble me both in character and appearance", and said to Zaid, "You are our brother (in faith) and our freed slave." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2699)  

اعْتَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَأَبَى أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ أَنْ يَدَعُوهَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى قَاضَاهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمَّا كَتَبُوا الْكِتَابَ كَتَبُوا هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالُوا لَا نُقِرُّ بِهَذَا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا مَنَعْنَاكَ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنْ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ «أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «امْحُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ» قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَمْحُوكَ أَبَدًا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكِتَابَ وَلَيْسَ يُحْسِنُ يَكْتُبُ فَأَمَرَ فَكَتَبَ مَكَانَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدًا فَكَتَبَ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَدْخَلَ مَكَّةَ بِالسِّلَاحِ إِلَّا السَّيْفَ فِي الْقُرُبِ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا بِأَحَدٍ يَتْبَعُهُ وَلَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِهَا فَلَمَّا دَخَلَهَا وَمَضَى الْأَجَلُ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا فَقَالُوا قُلْ لِصَاحِبِكَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ عَنَّا فَقَدْ مَضَى الْأَجَلُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَبِعَتْهُمْ بِنْتُ حَمْزَةَ تُنَادِي يَا عَمُّ يَا عَمُّ فَتَنَاوَلَهَا عَلِيٌّ رِضْوَانَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا وَقَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ دُونَكِ ابْنَةَ عَمِّكِ فَحَمَلَتْهَا فَاخْتَصَمَ فِيهَا عَلِيٌّ وَزَيْدٌ وَجَعْفَرٌ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنَةُ عَمِّي وَخَالَتُهَا تَحْتِي وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ ابْنَةُ أَخِي فَقَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِخَالَتِهَا وَقَالَ «الْخَالَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ» وَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْكَ» وَقَالَ لِجَعْفَرٍ «أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي» وَقَالَ لِزَيْدٍ «أَنْتَ أَخُونَا وَمَوْلَانَا»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hudaibiya, near the base of a tree. Allah said, "And as if I were a branch from the branches of that tree upon the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So, I lifted it off his back, while Ali ibn Abi Talib and Suhayl ibn Amr were before him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Write, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.'" So Suhayl took his hand and said, "We don't know the 'Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.' Write, 'In our case, write, in your name, O Allah.'" Then he said, "This is what Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed upon for the people of Makkah." Then, he held his hand and said, "Indeed, we have wronged you if you are a Messenger. Write in our case, in your name, O Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Write, 'This is what Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib, the Messenger of Allah, has agreed upon for the people of Makkah. I am the Messenger of Allah.'" So, he wrote. While we were like that, thirty young men came out towards us, armed, and they frown upon us. The Prophet ﷺ invoked upon them, and Allah seized their sights. So, we attacked them and seized them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Have you come under the safety or covenant of anyone?" They replied, "No." So, he let them go. Then, Allah revealed, "And it is He who restrained their hands from you and your hands from them" (Quran 48:24) until "seeing" (Quran 4:58).
