[Machine] "So Marwan informed him and said to him, 'Your conversion to Islam has been delayed, O Sheikh, until events have surpassed you.' Huwaytib replied, 'By Allah, I have been determined to convert to Islam more than once, but your father prevents me and dissuades me. He says that it would bring shame to your people and the religion of your forefathers to follow a new religion and become a follower. So Marwan remained silent and regretted what he had said to him, and then Huwaytib said, 'Didn't Uthman inform you about what your father encountered when he converted?' Marwan became even more distressed, and Huwaytib said, 'There was no one in Quraysh from their prominent figures who remained steadfast in their religion until Mecca was conquered. I disliked what happened to me with its conquest, but it was predestined. I witnessed the Battle of Badr with the polytheists and saw the angels killing and capturing between the heavens and the earth. So I said, 'This is a prohibited man.' And when what I witnessed was mentioned, we were defeated and returned to Mecca. We settled in Mecca, and Quraysh used to surrender one man after another to Muhammad. And when the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was written, I was the last witness, and I said, 'You will not see anything from Quraysh except what is displeasing. I have accepted it if they defend it with their weapons.' And when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived for 'Umrah al-Qada' and Quraysh left Mecca, I stayed behind in Mecca with Suhayl ibn 'Amr, so that we could prevent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from leaving when the time comes. And when the three days were completed, I approached Suhayl ibn 'Amr and said, 'Your condition has been fulfilled, so leave our city.' He shouted, 'O Bilal, do not let the sun set while there is still one Muslim in Mecca who came with us.'"
