Narrated by Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Azhar: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the year of the conquest of Makkah while I was a young boy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was inquiring about the house of Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed. Then a drunkard was brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered the companions, so whatever was in their hands, they began to strike him with it. Some struck with whips, some with shoes, and some with sticks. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw dust on him. Then a drunkard was brought before Hazrat Abu Bakr, so he asked his companions: "How much did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) strike the man whom he had punished?" It was estimated to be forty, so Hazrat Abu Bakr administered forty lashes.

Hazrat Ya'la reports that I brought my father Umayyah to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Take the pledge of allegiance from my father for migration." Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "(No), rather I will take the pledge from him for jihad, because migration has ended."

It is narrated from Hazrat Saib that he used to participate in trade with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before the advent of Islam. So, on the day of the conquest of Makkah, he presented himself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Welcome! My brother and my (business) partner! Who neither deceived nor argued. O Saib! Indeed, in the days of ignorance, you used to do some (good) deeds which were not accepted from you. Today, those deeds will be accepted from you."

Hazrat Hamzah Ziyad narrates that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) entered from the upper part of Makkah and Hazrat Khalid bin Walid entered from the lower part of Makkah. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the command: Do not kill anyone at all. Then their hands became involved in killing, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What made you do what you did? They replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I had no power to do anything other than what I did.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Sa’ib that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, faced the Ka'bah and performed prayer, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, took off his blessed sandals and placed them on his left side. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, began reciting Surah Al-Mu’minun. When the mention of Isa (Jesus) or Musa (Moses) came in the Surah, he, peace and blessings be upon him, started coughing, so he, peace and blessings be upon him, went into bowing (ruku’).

Hazrat Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyyah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out from one of his blessed chambers and sat at its door, and (it was his habit that) when he, peace and blessings be upon him, sat alone, no one would come to him until he, peace and blessings be upon him, himself called someone. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Call Abu Bakr to me. The narrator says: So Abu Bakr came and sat in front of him, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, whispered to Abu Bakr for quite a while, then he, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed Abu Bakr, so he sat to his right or left side. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Call Umar to me. So Umar came and sat in Abu Bakr’s place (in front), and he, peace and blessings be upon him, also whispered to him for a long time. During this, Umar’s voice became loud and he said: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! These are the chiefs of disbelief. These are the people who thought you were a sorcerer, called you a soothsayer, considered you a liar, and accused you of fabricating lies. Umar mentioned all those things that the people of Makkah used to say about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed Umar to sit on his other side. So one of these two elders sat on his right and the other on his left. Then the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called the people and said: Shall I not tell you the example of your two companions? The people said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his blessed face towards Abu Bakr and said: Know that Ibrahim was softer regarding Allah Almighty than milk mixed with oil. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his blessed face towards Umar and said: Nuh was harder regarding Allah than stone. And the decision is as Umar has made. Then the companions began to prepare and stood up, and followed behind Abu Bakr, saying: O Abu Bakr! We do not like to ask Umar, but what did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whisper to you? Abu Bakr said: He, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: What do you say about fighting the people of Makkah? Abu Bakr said: I replied: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! They are your own people. And he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I see that soon these people will obey me. Abu Bakr said: Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, called Umar, and Umar said: These people are the chiefs of disbelief, and he mentioned every bad thing they used to say. And by Allah! Until the people of Makkah are humiliated, the Arabs will not be humiliated. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, has commanded you to perform jihad so that you may attack Makkah.
