English

[4631] 92 – ( … ) It was narrated that Al-Bard' said: When the Prophet jLii, was prevented from reaching the Ka'bah, the people of Makkah made a treaty with him stating that he could enter (Makkah) and stay there for three days, and that he could enter it with his weapons wrapped (in leather bags made for that purpose), meaning the sword and its sheath; he could not take away with him any of its inhabitants and he could not prevent any of those who were with him if they wanted to stay there. He said to 'All: "Write down the terms between us: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is what has been agreed by Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." The Mushrikân said to him: If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah we would have followed you. Rather write: Muhammad bin 'Abdullâh. So he told 'Ali to erase it, but 'All said: No, by Allah, I will not erase it. The Messenger of Allah li said: "Show me where it is." So he showed him where it was and he erased it, and he wrote: "bin 'Abdullâh." He stayed there for three days, then on the third day they said to 'All: This is the last day stipulated for your companion. Tell him to leave. So he told him about that and he said: "Yes," and left. Ibn Janâb said in his narration, instead of 'we would have followed you,' 'we would have sworn allegiance to you.'
