The Peace Treaty Of Hudaybīyah This verse was revealed about the peace treaty of Hudaybīyah which has been mentioned in Islamic history and is outside of our discussion. The polytheists sent Suhayl bin ‛Amr to the Prophet (S) as their representative in writing the treaty. The Messenger of Allah (S) recited the peace treaty and the Commander of the faithful (a) wrote it down. The Prophet said: “Write 'In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful’.” The Commander of the faithful wrote it.
Suhayl said: “We do not know the Compassionate, the Merciful. Nothing has reached us about this from our ancestors.” Some Muslims complained and said that the sentence must remain as it was.
The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “What should we write?” Suhayl said: “Writing: ‘in your name, O Allah’, is common amongst us.” The Prophet said; “‛Alī, erase what you wrote and write: ‘in your name, O Allah’.” This is not something so serious that one should fight over and ruin the peace treaty which is in the benefit of Islam and the Muslims. What loss will those words cause? The principle is that it should be started in the name of Allah; it does not matter with which sentence.
Those people had a satanic form of tribalism in their hearts and for that reason Allah gave the Muslims peace in their hearts to bear what he said.
In Any Case, Muhammad (S) Is A Prophet The Prophet (S) then said: “Write: ‘This document is between Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, and Suhayl bin ‛Amr.” When it was written, Suhayl said: “We would not have fought you if we thought that you were a prophet sent from Allah.” The companions got angry and a fight was about to break out when the Prophet (S) said: “No problem, erase it.” ‛Alī (a) asked: “O Messenger of Allah (S)!
How can I erase your title?” The Prophet took the document and erased the words 'the Messenger of Allah' himself. Muhammad is a Prophet whether they write it or not. Is writing that Muhammad was the messenger of Allah worth fighting over? Is it worth destroying the peace treaty over? Do Not Lose Your Calm A believer is one whose soul and veins are full of piety. A believer always considers Allah to be present and watching everything.
His tongue and eyes are in his control and he does not become angry because of his nafs . If he becomes angry it is for Allah. Suhayl bin ‛Amr disrespected the Prophet (S) and the Prophet refrained from getting angry. This is the sunnah of the Prophet (S). One must not lose his calm.
