[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Umrah in the month of Dhu al-Qa'dah. The people of Makkah refused to let him enter until they settled on him staying for three days. When they wrote this agreement, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not approve. They said, "We would not have opposed you if we knew you were the Messenger of Allah, but you are Muhammad ibn Abd Allah." He replied, "I am the Messenger of Allah and I am Muhammad ibn Abd Allah." Ali told him to erase "the Messenger of Allah" from the agreement, but he refused. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the document and although he was not proficient in writing, he wrote: "This is what Muhammad ibn Abd Allah has decided: No one should enter Makkah with weapons except for a sheathed sword, and no one should be prevented from leaving if they intend to follow him. No one should prevent any of his companions from residing in Makkah." After he entered Makkah and fulfilled the agreed-upon days, they came to Ali and said, "Tell your companion to leave us, as the agreed-upon period has passed."
اعْتَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَأَبَى أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ أن يَدَعُوهُ أن يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى قَاضَاهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يُقِيمَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمَّا كَتَبُوا هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا 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 مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أَمْحُوهُ أَبَدًا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكِتَابَ وَلَيْسَ يُحْسِنُ يَكْتُبُ فَكَتَبَ مَكَانَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ بِسِلَاحٍ إِلَّا السَّيْفَ فِي الْقِرَابِ وَأَنْ لَا يُخْرِجَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَحَدًا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتْبَعَهُ وَلَا يَمْنَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِهَا فَلَمَّا دَخَلَهَا وَمَضَى الْأَجَلُ أَتَوْا عَلِيًّا فَقَالُوا قُلْ لِصَاحِبِكَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ عَنَّا فَقَدْ مَضَى الْأَجَلُ
