Volume 4, Book 53, Number 408:
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Prophet intended to perform the ‘Umra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking
their permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and
would not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So Ali
bin Abi-Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, “This is what Muhammad, Apostle
of Allah has agreed to.” The (Meccans) said, “If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Apostle of Al –
lah, then we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, ‘This is what
Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah has agreed to..’ ” On that Allah’s Apostle said, “By Allah, I am Muhammad
bin ‘Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of ‘Allah.” Allah’s Apostle used not to write; so he asked ‘Ali
to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that ‘Ali said, “By Allah I will never erase it.” Allah’s
Apostle said (to ‘Ali), “Let me see the paper.” When ‘Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet erased the
expression with his own hand. When Allah’s Apostle had entered Mecca and three days had elapsed,
the Meccans came to ‘Ali and said, “Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca.” Ali informed Allah’s
Apostle about it and Allah’s Apostle said, “Yes,” and then he departed.

given in charity, nor prayed. So, bestow on us calmness, and when we meet the enemy. Then make
our feet firm, for indeed, Yet if they want to put us in affliction, (i.e. want to fight against us) we
