That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that happened to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the ʿUmra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded the truce with Suhail bin ʿAmr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which Suhail bin ʿAmr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on this condition. The believers disliked this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on that condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Messenger of Allah ﷺ then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father, Suhail bin ʿAmr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that period even if he was a Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of ʿUqba bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those who came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she was an adult at that time. Her relatives came, asking Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return her to them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses dealing with the believing (women).

(from the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ) When Suhail bin ʿAmr agreed to the Treaty (of Hudaibiya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the Prophet ﷺ should return to them (i.e. the pagans) anyone coming to him from their side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between them and that person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet ﷺ agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jandal to his father Suhail bin ʿAmr. Thenceforward the Prophet ﷺ returned everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kulthum bint ʿUqba bin Abu Muait who came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she was a young lady then. Her relative came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him to return her, but the Prophet ﷺ did not return her to them for Allah had revealed the following Verse regarding women: "O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (60.10)

[Machine] He heard Al-Miswar Ibn Makhrama and Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam narrating from the news of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Al-Hudaybiyah. And in what Awrah narrated to me about them, they said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to Suheil Ibn 'Amr on the day of Al-Hudaybiyah regarding the treaty, Suheil Ibn 'Amr said to him, 'No one from us will come to you, even if he is a Muslim, except that you send him back to us and leave him between us and him.' So Suheil refused to bring the case before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except on that condition." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned Abu Jandal Ibn Suheil to his father Suheil Ibn 'Amr on that day, and no man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except that he sent him back during that period, even if he was a Muslim. The believing women who migrated came, and Um Kulthum bint 'Uqba Ibn Abi Mu'ayt was among them. Then her family came asking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return her to them until Allah revealed what He revealed regarding the believing women.

[Machine] "Allah's Messenger ﷺ forbade the polytheistic Quraish from the agreement that He made with them on the day of Hudaybiyah, wherein Allah revealed what He decided between them. Urwah bin Zubair informed me that he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Miswar bin Makhrama narrating about the Companions of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. They said that when the Messenger ﷺ appointed Suhail bin Amr to act as a scribe, Suhail bin Amr stipulated a condition to the Messenger ﷺ that none of us should come to you, even if they were upon your religion, except that you send them back to us. So the believers disliked this and they protested against it or used other words. Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, said that our sheikh did not mention this statement and its narration is in a different version. They persisted, and so the Messenger ﷺ wrote to Abu Jandal that day and returned him to his father, Suhail bin Amr, and no one else among the men was returned during that time, even if they were Muslims. The believing women came and Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Uqbah bin Abu Mu'ayt, who had come out to the Messenger ﷺ that day while she was in bondage, (her family) came to ask the Messenger ﷺ to return her to them, but he did not return her to them due to what Allah revealed about them (the believing women) in the Qur'an: 'When believing women come to you, giving you a pledge (concerning their behavior and conduct under Islam), that they will not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor kill their children' (Al-Mumtahinah 10). Urwah said that 'Aishah informed me that Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to test them (the believing women) through this Ayah: 'O Prophet, when believing women come to you giving you a pledge…' (Al-Mumtahinah 12). Urwah said that 'Aishah said: whoever accepted this condition among them, the Messenger ﷺ would say to her, 'I have pledged allegiance to you with a word that I speak to you with, and by Allah, never has the hand of a woman been shaken in allegiance by mine.' He would only accept their pledge of allegiance by verbal agreement."
