It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah and informed them that (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was about to attack Makkah). But Allah Almighty informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the woman who was carrying this letter towards Makkah. He sent some companions after her, and the letter was recovered from her hair. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Hatib! Did you really do this?”He replied,“Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I did this not out of deceit or hypocrisy, but I was certain that Allah Almighty would surely grant victory to His Messenger and grant him success. The real matter is that I had come from outside and settled in Makkah. My mother was residing among them. In this way, I wanted to do a favor to the people of Makkah.”Upon hearing this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“Should I not strike off his head?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Would you kill a participant of Badr? Do you not know that Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: Now do whatever you wish.”

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Rabah that several delegations came to the service of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) during the month of Ramadan. I was also among them. We used to invite each other for meals. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) would often invite us to his house. So I thought, why shouldn't I also prepare food and invite these gentlemen to my place? Accordingly, I ordered food to be prepared. At the time of Isha, I met Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), so I said, "Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), tonight you are invited to my place." He replied, "You have beaten me to it." I said, "Yes! I have invited them." They all came to my place. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Ansar! Shall I not tell you something related to you?" Then he mentioned the conquest of Makkah: that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and entered Makkah. He appointed Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) over one part of the army, either the right or the left, and Khalid bin Walid over the other part, and Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) over those who were not armored. These gentlemen took the path of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was with his own detachment. The Quraysh had also gathered many tribes. The people said, "Let them go ahead. If they get something, we will be with them. And if they are attacked, we will give whatever is demanded from us." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me and called out, "Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him)!" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I am present." He said, "Call the Ansar to me, and remember, only the Ansar should come to me." I called the Ansar, and they came and surrounded the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "Do you see the tribes and people of Quraysh?" He placed one hand over the other and gestured, "Destroy them and come to me at Mount Safa." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "We set out from there, and each of us killed as many of them as he wished. None of them confronted us." Abu Sufyan said, "O Messenger of Allah! The groups of Quraysh have been killed. If this continues, after today no Qurayshi will remain." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever closes the door of his house is safe, and whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan is also safe." So the people closed the doors of their houses. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the Black Stone, kissed it, and then performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah. He had a bow in his hand, holding one end of it. During Tawaf, he reached an idol that was placed on one side of the Ka'bah, which the people used to worship. He began striking the idol's eye with his bow and said, {جَاء َ الْحَقُّ وَزَہَقَ الْبَاطِلُ} "Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished away." (Surah Bani Isra'il: 81) After that, he went to Mount Safa and climbed it until the Ka'bah became visible to him. He raised his hands and continued to remember Allah and supplicate. The Ansar were standing below in front of him. Some of them began saying to each other, "This man (meaning the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) has been overtaken by longing for his city and his family." Right there, revelation began to descend upon him. When revelation would begin to descend upon him, we would know. Until the revelation ceased, no one would look up towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the revelation ended, he raised his head and said, "O Ansar! You have said that he has been overtaken by longing for his city and love for his family." They replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), indeed we have said such things." He said, "If that were so, then what would my name be? Beware! I am Allah's servant and His Messenger. I have migrated to you for the sake of Allah's pleasure. My living and dying is with you." So the Ansar, weeping, came forward to him and said, "By Allah, whatever we have said is only out of intense love for Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), lest you leave us and return to Makkah." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) confirm your words and accept your excuse."

It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah from its upper part, from the direction of Kada’, and on the occasion of ‘Umrah, he entered Makkah from the direction of Kuda’. In another narration, the words are: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah from the upper side and exited from the lower side.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah from the side of Thaniyyat al-Adhkhir.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah in such a state that he was wearing a black turban.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered Makkah Mukarramah on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, and at that time there was a helmet on his head. When he, peace and blessings be upon him, removed it, a man came and submitted to him, peace and blessings be upon him, that Ibn Khatal, the disbeliever, is hanging onto the curtains of the Ka'bah. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Kill him. Imam Malik states that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was not in the state of Ihram that day. And Allah knows best.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If Allah wills, then tomorrow when Allah grants us victory, our stay will be in the valley of Khayf, where the disbelievers of Quraysh had sworn oaths to support disbelief against us.

It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at Dhi Tuwa, Abu Quhafa said to his youngest daughter: "Daughter! Take me to Mount Abi Qubais." At that time, he had become blind. She narrates: I took him up the mountain. He said: "Daughter, what do you see?" The daughter said: "I see a gathered army." He said: "These are horses." She said: "I see a man running back and forth among the armies." He said: "Daughter! This man is giving instructions to the horsemen." Then, by Allah, she saw that the army scattered. He said: "By Allah, now the horses have started running. Quickly take me home." I brought him down the mountain, and before he reached home, he met the horsemen. There was a silver necklace around the girl's neck; a man grabbed it and took it off her neck. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah and entered Masjid al-Haram, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father's hand and presented him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him coming like this, he said: "You could have let the elder stay at home; I would have gone to him myself." But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! He is more deserving to come to you than for you to go to him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Abu Quhafa (may Allah be pleased with him) in front of him, placed his hand on his chest, and said: "Enter Islam." So he accepted Islam. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his hair had become white like the Thaghamah herb due to old age. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change the whiteness of his hair." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up holding his sister's hand and said: "O people! I ask you by Allah and Islam, whoever has my sister's necklace, let him return it." But when no one responded affirmatively, he said: "Sister! Hope for reward from Allah for being deprived of the necklace."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding on the she-camel of Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). In this manner, he entered Makkah and made the she-camel sit near the Ka'bah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for Uthman bin Talhah to bring the key of the Ka'bah. He brought the key, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the door of the Ka'bah and entered inside. Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) also entered the Ka'bah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They kept the door of the Ka'bah closed for quite some time. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was a strong young man, so I tried and managed to get ahead of the people. I found Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) standing at the door, so I asked him: At which place did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the prayer? He informed me: Between the two front pillars. I did not remember to ask how many rak'ahs the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Makkah Mukarramah, he refused to enter the House of Allah due to the presence of idols. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that they be removed, so they were taken out. The statues of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and Ismail (peace be upon him) had arrows for divination placed in their hands. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah destroy these people! By Allah, they know that these two never drew lots with arrows. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House of Allah, proclaimed takbir in all its corners, and then came out. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform prayer in the Ka'bah.
