(Our 8 th Imam -asws says): If the Rasool-Allah -saww went ahead and performed Hajj instead of settling for the Treaty of Hudaybiya , the ‘ Mushriqeen ’ would have killed the Muslim men and women who were in their possession (in Makkah).

[8] The narrator of the Hadith says: ‘Then Allah -azwj the Mighty and Majestic Informed His -azwj Prophet -saww about the reasons for the reconciliation (Treaty of Hudaybiya ), Allah -azwj Said: It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and prevented the offering from arriving at its destined place; and it was because of the believing men and the believing women, [48:25].

(meaning the believing ones in Makkah) Whom, without knowing, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without (your) knowledge . Hence, the reason for the Treaty of Hudaybiya , was to protect the believers who were in Makkah, as otherwise they would have been killed (by the non-believers of Makkah).

As a result, when the reconciliation took place, they were safe, and Al-Islam was triumphant, and it was said, ‘That reconciliation was the greatest victory for the Muslims over the ones, they overcame’.

Did Allah not prohibit you from performing janazah prayers of munafiqs?” (ref.
