Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39611 — The Hudaybiyah campaign

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was barred from the House of Allah, the people of Makkah made peace with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the terms that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter Makkah (the following year) and stay there for three days, that he would bring into Makkah only the weapons bag, containing a sword and its sheath, that he would not take away anyone from the people of Makkah, and that he would not forbid any of those with him (peace and blessings be upon him) from staying there. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Write the agreement between us. Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). These are the terms on which Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), has made peace." The polytheists said: "If we accepted you as the Messenger of Allah, we would follow you; but (since we do not accept it) write thus: Muhammad bin Abdullah." The narrator says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to erase the earlier wording. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No! By Allah, I will not erase it." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Show me the place." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) showed him (peace and blessings be upon him) the place, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) erased that phrase and wrote (in its place): Ibn Abdullah. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Makkah for three days (the following year). When the third day came, the polytheists said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "This is the last day under the terms of your companion, so tell him to leave Makkah." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) told this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) left.
