Sulh ul Hudaybiyah: The

Peace Treaty with Quraysh


Treaty of Hudaybiyah

 The Quraysh offered a deal to Prophet Muhammad (SAW).


The terms included the following:
 1. Prophet Muhammad & Muslims would be permitted to
visit Makkah next year and perform their Umrah and stay in
Makkah for 3 days.
 2. The Quraysh and Muslims would come to a truce for 10
years that they would refrain from fighting and avoid
provocation.
 3. The Muslim and the Quraysh would be free to sign
alliance treaties with any tribes around Arabia.
 4. The Muslims would reject any person from the Quraysh
defecting to Madinah to become a Muslim. But the Quraysh
would be free to receive any Muslim wishing to change his
religion and join the Makkans.
The Story of Abu Jandal
The Story of Abu Jandal
After the treaty Abu Jandal, son of Suhayl
Ibn Amr came and joined the Muslims.
When Suhayl saw him, he became furious
and caught hold of him.
Abu Jandal cried for the help. The Prophet
asked Suhayl to allow his son to join the
Muslims, but he refused.
Rasoolullah said,”Be patient and control
yourself, surely God will make some way
out for you and for the oppressed
(Makkah). We have bound ourselves to
make peace between ourselves and the
people (Quraysh) and we have given them
and they have given us the covenant of
God, and we will not break that.”
Internal Unrest
 When the Sahabah left Madinah, they had no
doubt that they would open Makkah, as
shown in the dream that they saw what the
Prophet had endure during the negotiations,
many of them felt that this was a humiliation
to the Prophet and to Islam. The Abu Jandal
scene compounded the negativity that they
were feeling.
The Wisdom Ummu Salmah
 When he finished signing the treaty, the Prophet asked
the Sahabah to slaughter their sacrifice and shave their
heads. This was the ritual signifying the completion of
their Umrah. No one moved. He repeated his request
three times, but most of the Muslims didn’t obey.
 The Prophet entered the tent of his wife Ummu Salmah
and complained her. She asked: “Oh Prophet of Allah!
Do you want them to listen to you?” “Yes” he replied.
“Then, go out and don’t speak to any one until you
slaughter and get shaved yourself”.
 He got out and did exactly that. When they witnessed
him doing so they got up and slaughtered and fought
each other to get shaved first.
