When it comes to Sulphul Hudaybiyyah,
when Muhammad
had intended to make Umrah with his companions,
the 6th year of hijrah, And they went
to Makkah.
Just outside Makkah, they camped in the place
known as Fadaybia. Umrah ibn Khattab
was there.
And Muhammad
and his companions were denied entry into Makkah.
They were told after the agreement that, Look,
come back the following year. And the agreement
was signed.
So Umar ibn Kathtab
tells Muhammad
We intended Umrah, and we should go in,
no matter what happens.
Why should we agree to come back next
year?
We I don't want to do this. I
want to go in now. Let us go.
And Muhammad
says, You know, I am a messenger of
Allah. I've been sent by Allah
When I told you we will go for
umrah, I did not say that it has
to be this year. So we will come
back next year. Anyway, he was quite upset
in his heart. And as he walked away,
he was upset
up to the degree
that revelation came down when Allah revealed the
opening verses of Suratul Fatiha.
Indeed We have granted you a clear victory,
O Muhammad
And this is when Umar bin Khattab
and some of the companions asked, Is this
a victory? And the Prophet
says, Yes it is. It is revelation from
Allah.
Then he was happy. And Umar ibn Kathar
later on says,
that in my life I engaged in so
much of seeking forgiveness of Allah, so much
of charity, and so much of fasting. And
I freed so many of the slaves
because I feared
the speech that I had on the day
of Hudaybia must never be held against me.
Subhanallah!
Because obviously it hurt his heart. How could
it have hurt his heart? It only hurt
his heart for a good reason because he
was a fearless man. He wanted to go
in and he was saying, Let's go. So
this is why he says that I continued
to do good. May Allah
bless him and bless every single 1 of
us.
