Suhail Bin 'Omroo approached the Holy Prophet
(blessings and salutations of Allah on him) and after much discussion, truce
was settled on the following terms:
1.
This year the Holy
Prophet (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) and all his companions (Allah
is pleased with them all) will go back without performing Hajj or Omrah.
2.
They will perform Hajj
(Muslim pilgrimage in and around Makkah) next year provided they stay not more
than three days.
3.
The Muslims will bear no
arms in the Hajj next year except self defence sheathed swords.
4.
The validity of the
truce was agreed to be ten years.
5.
The Quraysh will not
fight the allies of the Holy Prophet S.A.W. and the Holy Prophet S.A.W. will
not fight the allies of the Quraysh.
6.
If any of the Quraysh
embraces Islaam, the Holy Prophet will return him to the Quraysh; but if a
Muslim turns apostate and joins Quraish, he will not be returned at any cost.
This last condition was extremely disturbing
and disgusting to the Holy Prophet's S.A.W. companions (Allah is pleased with
them). Hadhrat 'Omar (Allah is pleased with him) was extremely enraged, and he
firmly solicited before the Holy Prophet (blessings and salutations of Allah on
him) that the last condition is very humiliating. The Holy Prophet (blessings
and salutations of Allah on him) smiled and replied that any one who turns
apostate and joins them is of no use to us; and if some one becomes Muslim from
amongst them and comes to us, but we return him to them,Allah the Sublime will
create better conditions for us somehow or the other that such returned Muslim
will become an asset there. Meanwhile Aboo Jandal was thrown to the Muslims
badly beaten and chained. He was the son of Suhail, the truce and treaty maker
of the Quraish. Treaty was not yet signed so the Holy Prophet S.A.W. and all
the Muslims were swayed from the shrieks of Aboo Jandal but his father Suhail
told that the Treaty is operative. Thus Aboo Jandal was returned and treaty was
signed. The Holy Prophet S.A.W. honored his words before being confirmed which
further made his truthful deals as the most effective pattern of his life
throughout. Briefly, this truce was settled with great difficulty.
Islaam is a religion of Allah as His Final
will to bring peace within and peace all around to the Day of Eternity. his was
the urge of Allah Almighty through this Final Modality the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (Sallallaho hoo Alyhe Wassallam) to bring peaceful existence to
humanity for mankind prosperity. Therefore, a full Sura starts from this great
achievement (Sura Fatah) saying:
"Surely it is a
great victory for you ....... " (Al-Quraan : XLVIII: 1 to 3)
The Holy Prophet (blessings and salutations
of Allah on him) and all his companions) sacrificed the Huda (sacrificial)
camels here; and got his and all the companions heads shaved as a symbol of
havings performed worship out of Makkah. Although his companions had
reservations to accede to this great treaty but after this command of Allah
they bowed down to him (S.A.W.). This profound arbitration truce really became
a foundation stone for march of Islaam amongst the Arab tribes and all around
in Arabia.
