From the book · p. 54

In brief· the site’s own summary, not the book’s words

The well at Hudaybiyyah had dried up, and by a miracle of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) it filled again and everyone drank. When a rumour spread that the Quraish had killed Uthmaan رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him), whom Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent to tell them the Muslims had come only for Umrah, the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) pledged themselves under an acacia tree, the Bay'at-ur-Ridhwaan; the rumour turned out to be false. A treaty for ten years was then agreed with Suhail bin A'mr, on terms that seemed hard on the Muslims, such as returning to Madinah at once and sending back any Muslim from Makkah who came to Madinah. When Umar رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) objected, Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) said Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) had commanded it, and Surah Fatah called the treaty a clear victory, because it opened the way for Islaam to spread.

The well at Hudaybiyyah had dried up. Through the miracle of ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him), the well once again became full and all the رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) quenched their thirst.

When the disbelievers learnt of the intentions of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him), they decided to stop him from entering Makkah. Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Uthmaan رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) to Makkah to inform the disbelievers that they had come only to perform . When Hadhrat Uthmaan رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) reached Makkah, the disbelievers detained him.

A rumour spread that the disbelievers had killed Hadhrat Uthmaan رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him). When the news reached Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him), he gathered the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) under an acacia tree and instructed them to take (pledge allegiance) upon . This is mentioned in the Qur’aan as . Later they learnt that Hadhrat Uthmaan رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) was not killed by the Makkans and that this was only a rumour.

The Muslims and disbelievers agreed to sign a treaty so that both sides would have the opportunity of being at peace. The Quraish sent Suhail bin A`mr to settle the conditions of the agreement which would be applicable for ten years. The following was agreed upon:

The Muslims should return to Madinah immediately.
The Muslims would be allowed to come to Makkah the following year, but only for three days.
They should not come with their weapons. If swords are brought, they should be kept in their sheaths (cover for swords).
Any Muslim still in Makkah will not be allowed to return with the Muslims to Madinah. No Muslim should be prevented from remaining in Makkah if he wished to do so. If any Muslim from Makkah came to Madinah he would have to be sent back. On the contrary if any Muslim from Madinah came to Makkah he would not be sent back to Madinah.

The Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم (may Allah be pleased with them) were not pleased with this treaty. Hadhrat Umar رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed this to Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him). Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) replied that I have been commanded by Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) to do so. Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) revealed Fatah, wherein this treaty was termed as an open victory. Hence, subsequent events confirmed the fact that this treaty was a clear victory for the Muslims. The Muslims gained many advantages through this treaty. Some of these include:

(a) Previously, due to the wars with the Quraish and other tribes, the Muslims were unable to access other tribes and regions to preach Islaam. Now the doors were open for them.
(b) The Muslims were now able to meet and interact with the disbelievers as a result of which the disbelievers would have an opportunity to witness Islaam. Thereafter, they began entering into the fold of Islaam. In a short period the number of Muslims increased.
(c) The disbelievers were always trying to dishonour and humiliate the Muslims. They tried to wipe out their existence but were never successful in this. Eventually they were forced to sign a treaty with the Muslims, whom they always considered to be weak. It is evident that for an apparently strong party to reduce themselves to negotiate with a weaker party is a victory for the weaker party who in this case were the Muslims. Thus it becomes clear why the Qur’aan refers to this incident as “Fath-e-Mubeen” which means “A clear victory.”

There were two battles fought during this year:

Battle of Lihyaan
Battle of Ghaabah also known as Zi Qarad.

Eleven were also sent in this year. Hadhrat Khaalid bin Waleed رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) and Amr bin A’as رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) also accepted Islaam in this year.

After the treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Muslims received the opportunity to spread Islaam and the enemies witnessed its beauty first hand.
