Hadith 2766
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ إِسْحَاق ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ ، وَمَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، أنهم اصطلحوا على وضع الحرب عشر سنين ، يأمن فيهن الناس وعلى أن بيننا عيبة مكفوفة وأنه لا إسلال ولا إغلال .
Al Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin Al Hakam said “They agreed to abandon war for ten years during which the people which have security on the basis that there should be sincerity between them and that there should be not theft or treachery.
Brief Explanation
1؎: In the hadith, the word «عیبہ» has been mentioned, which means a pouch or bundle in which fine clothes are kept. Here, the heart is likened to «عیبہ», and «مکفوفہ» means "tied up," that is, the chest of clothes will remain closed between us, meaning our hearts will remain free from all kinds of deceit, corruption, malice, and breach of trust. The covenant will be protected and honored, and whatever has transpired between both parties until now will be wrapped up and set aside; there will be no reproach from either side.
2؎: According to some people, «إسلال» mentioned in the hadith refers to drawing swords, and «إغلال» refers to wearing armor, while «لا إسلال ولا إغلال» means "we will not fight."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
‘Eebah is a bundle in which special wealth and special clothes are carefully kept.
Since the heart is also a storehouse of covenants and promises,
therefore it has been likened to an ‘eebah (bundle).
Makfoofah means a tied pouch.
One translation of “islaal” is also that swords will not be drawn, and by “aghlal” is meant that armors will not be worn. The purpose is that in no way will fighting be carried out.
