وَقَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ هُدْنَةٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ ، وَفِيهِ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ ، وَأَسْمَاءُ ، وَالْمِسْوَرُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

In this chapter, there are also narrations from Sahl bin Hunaif, Asma, and Miswar (may Allah be pleased with them) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
وَقَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : صَالَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ : عَلَى أَنَّ مَنْ أَتَاهُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ رَدَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ ، وَمَنْ أَتَاهُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَرُدُّوهُ ، وَعَلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ وَيُقِيمَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَا يَدْخُلَهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ السَّيْفِ وَالْقَوْسِ وَنَحْوِهِ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو جَنْدَلٍ يَحْجُلُ فِي قُيُودِهِ فَرَدَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ : لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مُؤَمَّلٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، أَبَا جَنْدَلٍ ، وَقَالَ : إِلَّا بِجُلُبِّ السِّلَاحِ .
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (ra): On the day of Hudaibiya, the Prophet (saws), the Prophet (saws) made a peace treaty with the Al-Mushrikun on three conditions: 1. The Prophet (saws) would return to them any person from Al-Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, pagans). 2. Al-Mushrikun pagans would not return any of the Muslims going to them, and 3. The Prophet (saws) and his companions would come to Makkah the following year and would stay there for three days and would enter with their weapons in cases, e.g., swords, arrows, bows, etc. Abu Jandal came hopping, his legs being chained, but the Prophet (saws) returned him to Al-Mushrikun.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Dawood Raz
(1)
That if any man from among the polytheists comes to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), then you will return him. But if anyone from among the Muslims seeks refuge with the polytheists, then they will not return such a person.
(2)
That you will be able to come to Makkah next year and will stay only for three days.
(3)
That weapons—swords, arrows, etc.—will be brought into Makkah only sheathed and in their quivers. Thus, Abu Jandal (radi Allahu anhu), who had become Muslim and whom the Quraysh had imprisoned, came dragging his chains, so the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) returned him to the polytheists (in accordance with the terms of the treaty).
Imam Bukhari said that Mu’ammal did not mention Abu Jandal from Sufyan, and instead of the words “illa bijilban al-silah,” he narrated “illa bijalb al-silah.”

Hadith Commentary:
When the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was being written, at that time Abu Jandal radi Allahu anhu came running to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in chains. His father, Suhayl, demanded his return. The Messenger of Allah, while returning him, said:
"Abu Jandal! Be patient, Allah will grant you deliverance. Since we have now written the treaty, we do not wish to break our covenant."
Then he returned him. In this hadith, there is a clear mention of making peace with the polytheists of Makkah.
