Mukhtasar Bukhari

Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: O people! You take the conquest mentioned in Surah Al-Fath to mean the conquest of Makkah, but we consider the pledge of Ridwan, which took place on the day of Hudaybiyyah, as the real victory. (The story is as follows:) We were fourteen hundred men with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and Hudaybiyyah is a well. We began to draw water from it until not a single drop was left. When this news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he came there, sat at the edge of the well, asked for a vessel of water, performed ablution, rinsed his mouth, prayed, and then poured that water into the well. We waited for a little while, and then so much water gushed forth from the well that we and our animals all drank to our fill.

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): On the day of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to us: "Today, you are the best among all the people of the earth." Then he said that we were one thousand four hundred men, and if I had eyesight, I would have shown you the place of that tree.

Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Nu'man رضي الله عنه, who was among the Companions of the Tree, narrates that during the Battle of Khaybar, only sattu (parched barley flour) was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and the noble Companions رضي الله عنهم, so they chewed and ate only that.

It is narrated from Amir al-Mu’minin Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was traveling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at night during a journey. He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) something, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to him. Then (again) he asked, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply. He asked again, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) still did not reply. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to himself, “O Umar! May your mother weep for you! You asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) three times, but he did not reply to you.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “I spurred my camel and went ahead of the Muslims. I was afraid that some command regarding me might be revealed in the Qur’an. I had not stayed long when I heard a caller calling me. I became even more afraid that something might have been revealed in the Qur’an about me. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Tonight a surah has been revealed to me which is more beloved to me than all that upon which the sun rises.’ Then he recited this verse: ‘Indeed (O Prophet!), We have given you a clear victory.’ (Surah al-Fath: 1)”

Narrated by Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him): In the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with more than a thousand companions. When he reached Dhul-Hulaifah, he put garlands on the sacrificial animals and marked their humps by cutting them, and there he assumed the Ihram for Umrah. He also sent a spy from the tribe of Khuza’ah (to bring news about the Quraysh), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued advancing. When he reached the place of Ghadeer al-Ash-shat, the spy came to him and informed him that the Quraysh had gathered armies to fight him, and these armies were taken from various tribes. They would all fight against him and prevent him from reaching the House of Allah and would not let him go there. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “O people! Advise me (what should be done). Do you think I should attack the families of the disbelievers who intend to prevent us from the House of Allah? If they confront us, Allah is Most Great and Mighty, Who has saved the spy from the evil of the polytheists. And if they cannot confront us, we will leave them like those who have been routed and fled.” Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! We have only come with the intention of the House of Allah; we do not want to kill or loot anyone. You proceed, and if anyone stops us, then we will fight. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Proceed in the name of Allah.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that his father (Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him) sent him to bring his horse which was with an Ansari man. (On the way) he saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was taking the pledge of allegiance from the people under a tree, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not aware of this. So he (i.e., Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then went to get the horse and brought it to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who was (wearing armor), putting on his weapons. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) told him that the people were pledging allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) under the tree. (Then) both of them went until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This is (the) incident (because of) which people say that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) accepted Islam before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Umrah, we were also with him. He (peace be upon him) performed Tawaf, so we also performed Tawaf with him. Then he (peace be upon him) offered prayer, so we also offered prayer with him. And he (peace be upon him) ran between Safa and Marwah, and we were concealing him (peace be upon him) from the people of Makkah so that no one could harm him (peace be upon him).
