Hadith 2591
On the day of Hudaibiya, the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) made a peace treaty with the Al-Mushrikun on three conditions:
1. The Prophet (ﷺ) would return to them any person from Al-Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, pagans).
2. Al-Mushrikun pagans would not return any of the Muslims going to them, and
3. The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions would come to Makkah the following year and would stay there for three days and would enter with their weapons in cases, e.g., swords, arrows, bows, etc.
Abu Jandal came hopping, his legs being chained, but the Prophet (ﷺ) returned him to Al-Mushrikun.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform `Umra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca did not
let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only.
When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: 'These are the terms on
which Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) agreed (to make peace).' They said, "We will not agree to this, for
if we believed that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you, but you are Muhammad bin
`Abdullah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and also Muhammad bin `Abdullah." Then he
said to `Ali, "Rub off (the words) 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' ", but `Ali said, "No, by Allah, I will never rub off
your name." So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin
`Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody
from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) even if he wished to
follow him and he (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the
latter wants to stay.' When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went to
`Ali and said, "Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed." So,
the Prophet (ﷺ) went out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his
companions), calling, "O Uncle! O Uncle!" `Ali received her and led her by the hand and said to
Fatima, "Take your uncle's daughter." Zaid and Ja`far quarreled about her. `Ali said, "I have more
right to her as she is my uncle's daughter." Ja`far said, "She is my uncle's daughter, and her aunt is my
wife." Zaid said, "She is my brother's daughter." The Prophet (ﷺ) judged that she should be given to her
aunt, and said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said to 'All, "You are from me and I am from
you", and said to Ja`far, "You resemble me both in character and appearance", and said to Zaid, "You
are our brother (in faith) and our freed slave." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 9

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out for the `Umra but the pagans of Quraish prevented him from reaching the
Ka`ba. So, he slaughtered his sacrifice and got his head shaved at Al-Hudaibiya, and agreed with them
that he would perform `Umra the following year and would not carry weapons except swords and
would not stay in Mecca except for the period they allowed. So, the Prophet (ﷺ) performed the `Umra in
the following year and entered Mecca according to the treaty, and when he stayed for three days, the
pagans ordered him to depart, and he departed. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 11
