(They said) by doing so you will enter into our city without our permission and make enemies!’ Rasool Allah -saww refused those two. Rasool Allah -saww then sent Usman Bin Affan to talk to them and get permission to enter (Makkah). But Usman went and returned (without any success). (At that), to avoid conflict, the Rasool Allah -saww decided to establish an agreement with the Mushriqeen through a treaty.

He -saww said to Ali -asws : ‘Write – In the Name of Allah -azwj , the Beneficent, the Merciful’. Suhail (of the Mushriqeen ) said, ‘I don’t know what the Beneficent, the Merciful is, we do not say that, write like us and say ‘By Your -azwj Name, our Allah -azwj ’. He ‑saww (Rasool Allah -saww ) said; ‘And write– This has been agreed upon by the Rasool Allah ‑saww and Suhail Bin Amro’. But Suhail said, ‘What are we fighting you -saww for, O Mohammed -saww ?

We do not believe you -saww to be the Rasool Allah -saww ’ So he -saww said; ‘I -saww am the Rasool of Allah -azwj and I -saww am Mohammed bin Abd Allah -saww ’. The Muslims said: ‘You -saww are Rasool-Allah -saww ’ but Suhail said, ‘Write Mohammed Bin AbdAllah -saww ’ The agreement stated that ‘If one of us (the Mushriqeen of Makkah) goes to you, he must be returned back to us and the Rasool Allah -saww must not keep him (even if he becomes a Muslim).

But if one of you (one of the Rasool-Allah -saww ’s people) comes to us, he will not be returned back to you’. Rasool Allah -saww was patient and accepted this, but added; ‘However, they should be allowed to worship Allah -azwj among you openly, not in secret, and be allowed to exchange gifts between Madinah to Makkah. [28] As part of the treaty, they could not perform a pilgrimage that year but could return next year for three days and perform a pilgrimage.

(From the book ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub) – ‘Khyber was conquered during Al-Muharram of the year seven (7 A.H.) and when the people saw the deed of Ali -asws (uprooting the door of the Fort of Khyber and killing Marhab), Ibn Abu Al-Huqeyq said to the Prophet ‑saww : ‘Descend so I can speak to you -saww ’.
