It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah with the purpose of conquering it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Hurayrah, call the Ansar." He called out: "O company of the Ansar! Answer the call of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." They came so swiftly, as though they had been waiting for an appointed time. He (peace and blessings be upon him), giving instructions, said: "Take this road, and whoever appears before you, strike him down (that is, kill him)." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, and Allah Almighty granted him victory. The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf of the House (the Ka'bah) and prayed two rak'ahs. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went out through the gate next to al-Safa, climbed Mount Safa and addressed the people, while the Ansar were below him. Meanwhile the Ansar said to one another: "As for this man (peace and blessings be upon him), compassion for his people and love of his town have taken hold of his heart." So Allah Almighty sent down revelation to him (peace and blessings be upon him) about what the Ansar had said, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O company of the Ansar! Are you saying: 'As for this man, compassion for his people and longing for his town have overtaken him'? (If that were so,) then what would I be? Never, by Allah! I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger; my life is now with you, and my death is also with you." They said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We said that only out of fear that you (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave us and stay here." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are truthful before Allah and His Messenger." By Allah, there was not a single one of them whose chest was not soaked by the tears flowing from his eyes.
