As a result...

As a result, a number of them were overcome with disbelief and started doubting the ‘prophet-hood’ of Rasool-Allah -saww upon observing Rasool-Allah -saww signing the treaty (apparently the conditions of Hudaybiya were unfavourable).

And the one who turns back upon his heels, he will never harm Allah of anything and Allah would be Recompensing the grateful [3:144] Sulahay Hudaybiya (Treaty at the Place of Hudaybiya ) The Treaty The treaty took place when the Rasool-Allah -saww and his companions went to perform Hajj of Kabah but were stopped by the ‘ Mushriqeen ’ (polytheists) of Makkah. In the end, a treaty was signed between the Muslims and Mushriqeen at the place of Hudaybiya .

Abu Abd Allah -asws (our 6 th Imam -asws ) has said; ‘The Rasool-Allah -saww marched (with his -saww companions) towards Al- Hudaybiya during the Month of Zeeqad (11 th Islamic month). When the Rasool-Allah -saww ended up at the place in which Ihram (for Hajj) had to be worn, they did so and they wore their weapons as well. When this news reached the ‘ Mushriqeen ’, they sent Khalid Bin Waleed to the Rasool-Allah -saww to block his -saww way.

So, the Rasool-Allah -saww adopted a different route and the caravan ended up at Al-Uqba. There were 1800 Muslims. When they descended to Al- Hudaybiya , there was a woman who had her son with her. Out of fear, her son ran away. When she established that it was the Rasool-Allah -saww , she screamed, ‘These are kind people, there is no reason for you to worry’. The Rasool-Allah -saww came up to her and asked her to draw a bucket of water- he -saww drank the water and washed his -saww face.
