Sulaiman bin Al-Mughirah narrated it with this chain ( a similar Hadith as no. 4622) and added: Then he gestured with his hands, one on top of the other: "Mow them down." And he said in the Hadith: They (i.e., the Ansar) said: We said that, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "What is my name then? Verily I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger."

وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَزَادَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الأُخْرَى « احْصُدُوهُمْ حَصْدًا ». وَقَالَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ قَالُوا قُلْنَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ « فَمَا اسْمِى إِذًا كَلاَّ إِنِّى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ».

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Rabah said: We came to Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan, and Abu Hurairah was among us. Each man among us used to make food one day for his companions, and it was my turn. I said: O Abu Hurairah, today is my day.. They came to the place, but the food was not yet ready. I said: O Abu Hurairah, why don't you narrate to us something from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) until our food is ready? He said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the day of the conquest (of Makkah). He (s.a.w) put Khalid bin Al-Walid in charge of the right flank and Az-Zubair on the left, and he put Abu 'Ubaidah in charge of the foot soldiers who (were to advance to) the bottom of the valley. Then he said: "O Abu Hurairah, call the Ansar for me." So I called them and they came rushing. He said: "O Ansar, do you see the followers of Quraish?" They said: Yes. He said: "Look, when you meet them tomorrow, mow them down," and he gestured with his hand, placing his right hand on top of his left. And he said: "Meet us at As-Safa." And any of them whom they saw was killed. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) climbed up As-Safa, and the Ansar came and surrounded As-Safa. Abu Sufyan came and said : O Messenger of Allah, Quraish have perished; there will be no more Quraish after this day. Abu Sufyan said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan will be safe. Whoever throws down his arms will be safe. Whoever locks his door will be safe." The Ansar s aid: The man has been overtaken by compassion for his tribe and love for his city. The Revelation came down to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he said: "You said: The man has been overtaken by compassion for his tribe and love for his city . So what is my name then? (and he said it) - three times - I am Muhammad , the slave of Allah and His Messenger. I emigrated for the sake of Allah and to you, and I will live with you and die with you." They said: By Allah, we only said that out of devotion to Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w). The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah and His Messenger affirm your sincerity and accept your apology."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: The Prophet (s.a.w) entered Makkah, and around the Ka'bah there were three hundred and sixty idols. He started poking them with a stick that was in his hand, saying: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'an or Jihad against polytheists) has come and Batil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism) has vanished. Surely, Batil is ever bound to vanish" [Al-Isra' 17:81] and ''Al-Haqq (the truth, i.e. the Qur'an and Allah's Revelation) has come, and Al-Batil [falsehood- Iblees (Satan)] can neither create anything nor resurrect (anything)" [Saba' 34:49]. Ibn 'Umar added: On the day of the conquest.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِى نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِى مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَكَّةَ وَحَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ ثَلاَثُمِائَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ نُصُبًا فَجَعَلَ يَطْعُنُهَا بِعُودٍ كَانَ بِيَدِهِ وَيَقُولُ « (جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا) (جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ) زَادَ ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ.

It was narrated that Ash-Sha'bi said: Abdullah bin Muti' narrated to me that his father said: I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say on the day of the conquest of Makkah: "No man of Quraish is to be captured then killed after this day, until the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ وَوَكِيعٌ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُطِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ « لاَ يُقْتَلُ قُرَشِىٌّ صَبْرًا بَعْدَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ».

Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: 'Ali bin Abi Talib wrote down the truce between the Prophet (s.a.w) and the idolaters on the day of Al-Hudaibiyah. He wrote: "This is what has been agreed by Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." They (the Kuffar of Makkah) said: Do not write, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), for if we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah we would not have fought you. The Prophet (s.a.w) said to 'Ali: "Erase it." He said: I am not the one who will erase it. So the Prophet m erased it with his hand. And among the things that they stipulated was that they (the Muslims) would enter Makkah and stay there for three days, and they would not enter with weapons, except weapons that were wrapped (in leather bags made for that purpose).

حَدَّثَنِى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ كَتَبَ عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ الصُّلْحَ بَيْنَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَبَيْنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَكَتَبَ « هَذَا مَا كَاتَبَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ». فَقَالُوا لاَ تَكْتُبْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَمْ نُقَاتِلْكَ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِعَلِىٍّ « امْحُهُ ». فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِالَّذِى أَمْحَاهُ. فَمَحَاهُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِيَدِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطُوا أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَيُقِيمُوا بِهَا ثَلاَثًا وَلاَ يَدْخُلُهَا بِسِلاَحٍ إِلاَّ جُلُبَّانَ السِّلاَحِ. قُلْتُ لأَبِى إِسْحَاقَ وَمَا جُلُبَّانُ السِّلاَحِ قَالَ الْقِرَابُ وَمَا فِيهِ.

It was narrated that Abu Ishaq said: I heard Al-Bara' bin 'Azib say: When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made a treaty with the people of Al-Hudaibiyah, 'Ali wrote down the treaty between them. He wrote "Muhammad the Messenger of Allah"... then he mentioned a Hadith like that of Mu'adh (no. 4629), except that he did not say in his Hadith: "This is what has been agreed."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ لَمَّا صَالَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَهْلَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ كَتَبَ عَلِىٌّ كِتَابًا بَيْنَهُمْ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ « مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ » ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِى الْحَدِيثِ « هَذَا مَا كَاتَبَ عَلَيْهِ ».

It was narrated that Al-Bara' said: When the Prophet m was prevented from reaching the Ka'bah, the people of Makkah made a treaty with him stating that he could enter (Makkah) and stay there for three days, and that he could enter it with his weapons wrapped (in leather bags made for that purpose), meaning the sword and its sheath; he could not take away with him any of its inhabitants and he could not prevent any of those who were with him if they wanted to stay there. He said to 'Ali: "Write down the terms between us: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is what has been agreed by Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." The Mushrikun said to him: If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah we would have followed you. Rather write: Muhammad bin 'Abdullah. So he told 'Ali to erase it, but 'Ali said: No, by Allah, I will not erase it. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Show me where it is." So he showed him where it was and he erased it, and he wrote: "bin 'Abdullah." He stayed there for three days, then on the third day they said to 'Ali: This is the last day stipulated for your companion. Tell him to leave. So he told him about that and he said: "Yes," and left. Ibn Janab said in his narration, instead of 'we would have followed you,' 'we would have sworn allegiance to you.'

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِىُّ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِىُّ جَمِيعًا عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لإِسْحَاقَ - أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ لَمَّا أُحْصِرَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ صَالَحَهُ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ عَلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا فَيُقِيمَ بِهَا ثَلاَثًا وَلاَ يَدْخُلَهَا إِلاَّ بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلاَحِ السَّيْفِ وَقِرَابِهِ. وَلاَ يَخْرُجَ بِأَحَدٍ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَلاَ يَمْنَعَ أَحَدًا يَمْكُثُ بِهَا مِمَّنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ.قَالَ لِعَلِىٍّ « اكْتُبِ الشَّرْطَ بَيْنَنَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ». فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ تَابَعْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ. فَأَمَرَ عَلِيًّا أَنْ يَمْحَاهَا فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَمْحَاهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَرِنِى مَكَانَهَا ». فَأَرَاهُ مَكَانَهَا فَمَحَاهَا وَكَتَبَ « ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ». فَأَقَامَ بِهَا ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ يَوْمُ الثَّالِثِ قَالُوا لِعَلِىٍّ هَذَا آخِرُ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَرْطِ صَاحِبِكَ فَأْمُرْهُ فَلْيَخْرُجْ. فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ « نَعَمْ ». فَخَرَجَ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَنَابٍ فِى رِوَايَتِهِ مَكَانَ تَابَعْنَاكَ بَايَعْنَاكَ.

It was narrated from Anas that Quraish made a treaty with the Prophet (s.a.w), and among them was Suhail bin 'Amr. The Prophet (s.a.w) said to 'Ali: "Write: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Suhail said: As for in the Name of Allah, we do not know what 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful is.' Rather write what we know: Bismika Allahumma (In Your Name O Allah). He said: "Write: From Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." They said: If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would have followed you. Rather write your name and the name of your father. So the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Write: from Muhammad bin 'Abdullah.'' And they stipulated to the Prophet (s.a.w): Whoever comes (to us) from you, we will not return him to you, but whoever comes to you from among us, you will send him back to us. They said: O Messenger of Allah, should we write this? He said: Yes. Whoever among us goes to them, may Allah keep him away, and whoever comes to us from them, Allah will grant him a way out."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا صَالَحُوا النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِيهِمْ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِعَلِىٍّ « اكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ». قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ أَمَّا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فَمَا نَدْرِى مَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبْ مَا نَعْرِفُ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَقَالَ « اكْتُبْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ». قَالُوا لَوْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لاَتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَلَكِنِ اكْتُبِ اسْمَكَ وَاسْمَ أَبِيكَ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « اكْتُبْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ». فَاشْتَرَطُوا عَلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّ مَنْ جَاءَ مِنْكُمْ لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَنْ جَاءَكُمْ مِنَّا رَدَدْتُمُوهُ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَكْتُبُ هَذَا قَالَ « نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ مَنْ ذَهَبَ مِنَّا إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَنَا مِنْهُمْ سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَرَجًا وَمَخْرَجًا ».

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: Sahl bin Hunayf stood up on the day of (the battle of) Siffin and said: O people, blame yourselves, for we were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the Day of Al-Hudaibiyah, and if we had seen fit to fight, we would have fought. That was in reference to the truce that was made between the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the idolaters. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came and approached the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and said: O Messenger of Allah, are we not following truth whilst they are following falsehood? He said: "Of course." He said: Are not our slain in Paradise whilst their slain are in Hell? He said: "Of course." He said: Then why should we accept a deal that is detrimental to the interests of our religion and go back when Allah has not decided the issue between us and them? He said: "O son of Al-Khattab, I am the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and Allah will never forsake me." 'Umar went away, but he could not bear his feelings of anger. He went to Abu Bakr and said: O Abu Bakr, are we not following truth whilst they are following falsehood? He said: Of course. He said: Are not our slain in Paradise whilst their slain are in Hell? He said: Of course. He said: Then why should we accept a deal that is detrimental to the interests of our religion and go back when Allah has not decided the issue between us and them? He said: O son of Al-Khaqab, he is the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never forsake him. Then Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), speaking of victory, and he (s.a.w) sent for 'Umar and recited it to him. He said: O Messenger of Allah, is it really a victory? He said: "Yes." Then he ('Umar) felt relieved and he went back.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِى اللَّفْظِ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ سِيَاهٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِى ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَامَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَقَدْ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَوْ نَرَى قِتَالاً لَقَاتَلْنَا وَذَلِكَ فِى الصُّلْحِ الَّذِى كَانَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَبَيْنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَسْنَا عَلَى حَقٍّ وَهُمْ عَلَى بَاطِلٍ قَالَ « بَلَى ». قَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَتْلاَنَا فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلاَهُمْ فِى النَّارِ قَالَ « بَلَى ». قَالَ فَفِيمَ نُعْطِى الدَّنِيَّةَ فِى دِينِنَا وَنَرْجِعُ وَلَمَّا يَحْكُمِ اللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ « يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَلَنْ يُضَيِّعَنِى اللَّهُ أَبَدًا ». قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرْ مُتَغَيِّظًا فَأَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْنَا عَلَى حَقٍّ وَهُمْ عَلَى بَاطِلٍ قَالَ بَلَى. قَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَتْلاَنَا فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَقَتْلاَهُمْ فِى النَّارِ قَالَ بَلَى. قَالَ فَعَلاَمَ نُعْطِى الدَّنِيَّةَ فِى دِينِنَا وَنَرْجِعُ وَلَمَّا يَحْكُمِ اللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَلَنْ يُضَيِّعَهُ اللَّهُ أَبَدًا. قَالَ فَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِالْفَتْحِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَأَقْرَأَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَفَتْحٌ هُوَ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». فَطَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ وَرَجَعَ.

It was narrated that Shaqiq said: I heard Sahl bin Hunayf say at Siffin: O people, do not put too much faith in your own ideas, for by Allah, I remember the day of Abu Jandal (i.e. Al-Hudaibiyah). If I could have gone against the command of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) I would have done so. By Allah, we have never put our swords on our shoulders for any purpose, but the fighting resulted in a situation we feel comfortable with, except in this affair of yours (i.e., the fighting between 'Ali and Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with them).

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ يَقُولُ بِصِفِّينَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّهِمُوا رَأْيَكُمْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِى يَوْمَ أَبِى جَنْدَلٍ وَلَوْ أَنِّى أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَرَدَدْتُهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا وَضَعْنَا سُيُوفَنَا عَلَى عَوَاتِقِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ أَسْهَلْنَ بِنَا إِلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ أَمْرَكُمْ هَذَا. لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ إِلَى أَمْرٍ قَطُّ.
