 Allah (SWT) says:
(Truly did Allah fulfil the vision of
His Messenger. You shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah
wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, (or) hair cut short,
and without fear. For He knew what you knew not, and He
granted, besides this, a close victory.) (XLVIII: 27)
Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon
him) saw in dream that he entered Mecca and circumambulated
the Ka’ba. Prophets’ dreams are Divine Revelation, so
the Prophet informed his Companions of his dream while he was
in Medina. When they headed towards Mecca in the year of
Hudaybiyah, none of them doubted that the dream would come
true that year.
When Quraysh prevented them from
entering Mecca and performing the ‘Umarh, some of the
Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) were somewhat
displeased so much so that ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab (May
Allah be pleased with him) asked Allah’s Messenger (Peace be
upon him) about that, saying: “Didn’t you tell us that we
would come to the House (i.e. Ka’ba) and circumambulate
it?” He replied: “Yes. But did I tell you that you would come
to it this year?” ‘Umar said: “No.” The Prophet (Peace
be upon him) said: “You will come to it and circumambulate
it.”
Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon
him) concluded the Hudaybiyah treaty with the
polytheists of Quraysh, which was a speedy manifest victory,
as Allah (SWT) described it: (Verily
We have granted you a manifest victory.) (XLVIII: 1)
Through it the number of Muslims
doubled within two years, and during it Quraysh violated the
treaty and that led to the Conquest of Mecca.
The Conquest of Khaybar was part
of the close victory. Allah (SWT) promised the Muslims
involved in the Hudaybiyah Treaty in the same Surah:
(Indeed, Allah was pleased with the
believers when they gave you the pledge under the tree. He
knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down tranquility
upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory, and
abundant spoils that they will capture, and Allah is Exalted
in Power, Full of Wisdom. Allah has promised you many abundant
spoils you will capture and He has hastened for you this, and
He has restrained the hands of men from you that it may be a
Sign for the believers, and that He may guide you to the
Straight Path.) (XLVIII:18-20)
Within a few months the Muslims
conquered Khaybar, and Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him)
did not allow other than the participants in the Hudaybiyah
treaty to go out to Khaybar. All that was a miraculous Sign
for the believers.
Allah (SWT) told his Messenger of
what those who had not attended Hudaybiyah would say
when Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) set out for Khaybar
along with those who had gone with him to Hudaybiyah,
in His Saying: (those who lagged
behind (will say), when you set forth to take booty (in war),
‘Allow us to follow you.’ They want to change Allah’s Words.
Say, ‘You shall not follow us. Allah has already declared
(this) beforehand.’ Then they will say, ‘But you are jealous
of us.’ Nay, but little do they understand (such things).’)
(XLVIII: 15)
After the close victory that
Allah (SWT) had promised the believers, the dream of Allah’s
Messenger (Peace be upon him) about entering the Sacred Mosque
came true. He and his Companions entered it safely with their
heads shaved or their hair cut short.
All that was of the information
of the unseen revealed to Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon
him) before the relevant events occurred accordingly.
Al-Sha’bi said:
“Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) gained in Hudaybiyah
what he did not gain in any other invasion: His previous and
later sins were forgiven by Allah; he was given the Ridwan
pledge; ate the dates of Khaybar; the sacrificial offering
reached its destination; the Romans defeated the Persians, and
the believers rejoiced at the victory of the People of the
Book over the Magians
