(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet ﷺ set out in the company of more than onethousand of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for ʿUmra from that place and sent a spy of his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet ﷺ proceeded on till he reached (a village called) Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number of people against you, and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with you, and will stop you from entering the Kaʿba and prevent you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O people! Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the families and offspring of those who want to stop us from the Kaʿba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Kaʿba) and you do not want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"

[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)
