حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ , أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ , حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ , عَنْ عَمِّهِ , أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ , سَمِعَ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ ,وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ يُخْبِرَانِ خَبَرًا مِنْ خَبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عُمْرَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ , فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْهُمَا : " أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَاتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى قَضِيَّةِ الْمُدَّةِ , وَكَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَنَّهُ قَالَ : لَا يَأْتِيكَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِكَ إِلَّا رَدَدْتَهُ إِلَيْنَا , وَخَلَّيْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ , وَأَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ , فَكَرِهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ذَلِكَ وَامَّعَضُوا فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ , فَلَمَّا أَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ كَاتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا جَنْدَلِ بْنَ سُهَيْلٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو , وَلَمْ يَأْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ إِلَّا رَدَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْمُدَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا , وَجَاءَتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ عَاتِقٌ , فَجَاءَ أَهْلُهَا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مَا أَنْزَلَ " .
Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that happened to Allah's Apostle in the `Umra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Allah's Apostle concluded the truce with Suhail bin `Amr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which Suhail bin `Amr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Apostle except on this condition. The believers disliked this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Apostle except on that condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Allah's Apostle then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father, Suhail bin `Amr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that period even if he was a Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of `Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those who came to Allah's Apostle and she was an adult at that time. Her relatives came, asking Allah's Apostle to return her to them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses dealing with the believing (women).

Hadith Commentary:
1.
Among the clauses agreed upon at Hudaybiyyah was that any man from the Quraysh who came to Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) without the permission of his guardian would be returned to them, but if any of Muhammad’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) companions came to the Quraysh, they would not return him. The treaty had not yet been fully written when Suhayl’s son, Abu Jandal (radi Allahu anhu), dragging his chains, arrived there and threw himself among the Muslims. Upon this, Suhayl said: “This is the first person whose return I demand.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “But we have not yet completed the writing of the treaty.” Nevertheless, due to Suhayl’s insistence, Abu Jandal (radi Allahu anhu) was returned. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: “Abu Jandal! Be patient and consider it a means of reward. Allah, the Exalted, will soon provide relief and a place of refuge for you and for the other weak Muslims who are with you. Since we have made a treaty with the Quraysh, we cannot break our word.”

2.
When some believing women migrated to Madinah and came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), their families demanded their return based on the terms of the treaty. However, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rejected this demand on the grounds that the clause of return applied to men, not to women, because its wording was: “Any man of ours who comes to you, you must return him, even if he is upon your religion.” Furthermore, the Noble Qur’an explicitly states that if you become certain that these women are truly believers, do not return them to the disbelievers; such women are not lawful for the disbelievers, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them. () This does not constitute a breach of the treaty; therefore, emigrant women such as Umm Kulthum (radi Allahu anha) and others were not returned.
