Hazrat Abdullah bin Rabah narrates that some delegations went to Hazrat Muawiyah, and among us was Hazrat Abu Hurairah. This was during the days of Ramadan. So, some of us would arrange meals for others. The narrator states: Hazrat Abu Hurairah was among those who would arrange meals for us the most, and he would invite us to his camel saddle (resting place). The narrator says: I thought to myself, why should I not arrange a meal for my companions and invite them to my camel saddle? He says: So I arranged for food, and it was prepared, and in the evening I met Hazrat Abu Hurairah, so I said to him: Tonight, you are invited to my place. He replied: Have you beaten me to it today? I said: Yes! The narrator says: So I invited everyone, and they all came to me. Hazrat Abu Hurairah began to say: O group of Ansar! Shall I narrate to you something from your own affairs? The narrator says that then he mentioned the incident of the conquest of Makkah.

2. Hazrat Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out until he entered Makkah, and he appointed Hazrat Zubair over one of the armies on the right and Hazrat Khalid bin Walid over the other army on the left, and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah over those who were unarmed. Then those people entered the valley. Abu Hurairah narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a small group. He says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: O Abu Hurairah! I replied: I am present, O Messenger of Allah! He said: Call the Ansar for me. Only my Ansar (companions) should come to me. Abu Hurairah says: So I called them. He says: They all gathered until they surrounded the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

3. The narrator says: The Quraysh had gathered many of their followers and scattered people, and the Quraysh were saying: We will send these people ahead, so if they gain anything, we will join them, and if they are killed, we will have already given what was asked of us.

4. When the Ansar had surrounded the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to them: What is your opinion about the followers of Quraysh and those scattered people? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck one hand against the other, indicating: Kill them... (Salman, the narrator, also struck the edge of his right palm on his left palm)... Strike them hard until you meet me at Safa. The narrator says: Then we set out in such a state that whoever among us wanted to kill any of them (the followers of Quraysh), he could do so, and none of them could say anything to us. Abu Sufyan said (to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Have the common people of Quraysh been made permissible (to be killed)? (If so) after today, there will be no more Quraysh... The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever closes his door will be safe, and whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan will also be safe. The narrator says: Then the people closed their doors.

5. Abu Hurairah says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advanced until he touched the Black Stone and performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah. Then he came to an idol placed on one side of the Ka'bah, which the polytheists of Makkah used to worship. In his hand was a bow, which he was holding from the curved side. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to strike the idol's eye with the bow and said: "Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish." Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the Tawaf, he went towards the hill of Safa and ascended it to the point where the Ka'bah was visible. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and praised Allah and glorified Him...
