The Treaty of Hudaibiya

Asim Ahmad
 
• [48:28] Surely has Allah in truth fulfilled for His Messenger the Vision. You
will certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah will, in security, some having
their heads shaven, and others having their hair cut short; and you will
have no fear. But He knew what you knew not. He has in fact ordained for
you, besides that, a victory near at hand.

to the prophet and a settlement was
made.
In the name of God. These are the conditions of peace
between Muhammad, son of Abdullah and Suhail ibn Amr
the envoy of Mecca. There will be no fighting for ten
years. Anyone who wishes to join Muhammad and to
enter into any agreement with him is free to do so.
Anyone who wishes to join the Quraish and to enter into
any agreement with them is free to do so. A young man,
or one whose father is alive, if he goes to Muhammad
without permission from his father or guardian, will be
returned to his father or guardian. But if anyone goes to
the Quraish, he will not be returned. This year
Muhammad will go back without entering Mecca. But
next year he and his followers can enter Mecca, spend
three days, perform the circuit. During these three days
the Quraish will withdraw to the surrounding hills. When
Muhammad and his followers enter into Mecca, they will
be unarmed except for sheathed swords which wayfarers
in Arabia always have with them.
