ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا قَبْلُ
Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the conquest of Mecca a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al-Hudaibiya we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet ﷺ Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4150)
تَعُدُّونَ أَنْتُمْ الْفَتْحَ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَتْحُ مَكَّةَ فَتْحًا وَنَحْنُ نَعُدُّ الْفَتْحَ بَيْعَةَ الرِّضْوَانِ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَمِائَةً وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةُ بِئْرٌ فَنَزَحْنَاهَا فَلَمْ نَتْرُكْ فِيهَا قَطْرَةً فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهَا فَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِهَا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَتَمَضْمَضَ وَدَعَا ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ فِيهَا فَتَرَكْنَاهَا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَصْدَرَتْنَا مَا شِئْنَا نَحْنُ وَرِكَابَنَا
