[Machine] Narrated by Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah and Marwan ibn Al-Hakam: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out during the time of Al-Hudaybiyah with around 1,400 of his companions. When they reached Thul-Hulayfah, the Prophet ﷺ performed the rites of Hajj, donned the Ihram and performed the Umrah. He then sent ahead a scout from the tribe of Khuzayah to gather information about the Quraysh. The Prophet ﷺ continued his journey until he was near Ghadeer Al-Ash'at, close to Usfan. The scout from Khuzayah approached him and said, "I left Ka'b ibn Lu'ay and 'Amir ibn Lu'ayy, who have gathered a group of your enemies to fight against you and prevent you from entering Makkah. O Messenger of Allah, should I inform them that you are nearing them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "If they sit down, they are as good as dead. If they escape, they shall be doomed." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Do you think that if I attacked the Ka'bah, those who prevented us from reaching it would have survived?" Abu Bakr said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Allah and His Messenger have the best knowledge. O Messenger of Allah, we only came here to perform 'Umrah and did not come for battle. However, if anyone comes between us and the Ka'bah, we will fight against them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then proceed." (This incident is summarized)
