Volume 3, Book 49, Number 863:
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Prophet intended to perform ‘Umra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca
did not let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three
days only. When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: ‘These are the
terms on which Muhammad, Allah’s Apostle agreed (to make peace).’ They said, “We will not agree to
this, for if we believed that you are Allah’s Apostle we would not prevent you, but you are
Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah.” The Prophet said, “I am Allah’s Apostle and also Muhammad bin ‘Abdul –
lah.” Then he said to ‘Ali, “Rub off (the words) ‘Allah’s Apostle’ “, but ‘Ali said, “No, by Allah, I will nev –
er rub off your name.” So, Allah’s Apostle took the document and wrote, ‘This is what Muhammad bin
‘Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody
from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet ) even if he wished to fol –
low him and he (the Prophet ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the
latter wants to stay.’ When the Prophet entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went
to ‘Ali and said, “Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed.” So,
the Prophet went out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet and his com –
panions), calling, “O Uncle! O Uncle!” ‘Ali received her and led her by the hand and said to Fatima,
“Take your uncle’s daughter.” Zaid and Ja’far quarrel ed about her. ‘Ali said, “I have more right to her
as she is my uncle’s daughter.” Ja’far said, “She is my uncle’s daughter, and her aunt is my wife.” Zaid
said, “She is my brother’s daughter.” The Prophet judged that she should be given to her aunt, and
said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said to ‘All, “You are from me and I am from you”, and
said to Ja’far, “You resemble me both in character and appearance”, and said to Zaid, “You are our
brother (in faith) and our freed slave.”
