He -saww said: ‘Yes’.

He -saww said: ‘Yes’. He -saww descended and the Prophet ‑saww reconciled with them, saving the blood of the ones in the fortresses and allowing them out with one set of clothes. [29] See for example: https://www.hubeali.com/article/battle-of-khyber/ Conquest of Makkah: Year 8 During the month of Ramadhan of 8 A.H. [30] , the Quraysh of Makkah killed the allies of Muslims which violated the treaty of Hudaybiya.

[31] As a result, Rasool-Allah -saww marched with 10,000 men on the 10th of the month of Ramadhan and camped a short distance from Makkah. The Makkahns sent a few spies, including Abu Sufyan, to find out the strength of the Muslim army. Upon observing the Muslim army, the Quraysh surrendered and Makkah fell into the hands of Muslims. The Rasool-Allah -saww told his -saww army not to fight until someone attacked and to spare those who run away or stay inside their homes.

(The book) ‘Al-Adad Al-Qawiya’ – During the twentieth day of (the month of) Ramadhan of the year eight from the emigration was the conquest of Makkah’’ . [32] See for example: https://www.hubeali.com/article/conquest-of-Makkah/ Battle of Hunayn: Year 8 The Battle of Hunayn is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah at-Tawbah [9:25-26] .

A Bedouin tribe named ‘Hawāzin’ fought against the Muslims after the Prophet Mohammed -saww conquered Makkah , in a land near Tā’if in 8 A.H – therefore, the battle is also called ‘the Battle of Hawāzin’. The Muslims were great in number, as Allah -azwj Says: when your great numbers fascinated you but they did not avail you of anything, and the earth was straitened upon you despite its vastness, then you turned back retreating [9:25].

However, before the breaking of dawn, the Muslims were attacked without warning by the fighters of Hawāzin. Caught off-guard and fearing for their lives, the majority of the Muslims fled the war zone – all except for eight members of the Bani Hashim -as tribe. Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws along with seven others from the Bani Hashim -as fought persistently and very bravely and repelled the Bedouins.

Upon seeing this – only after these signs of relief – the fugitive Muslims returned to the battlefield. Finally, with the help of Allah -azwj , hundreds of pagans were killed and the rest surrendered. At last, the lost Battle of Hunayn ended as a victory for the Muslims.
