Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Treaty of al-Hudaybiya.
Aftermath
The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was breached when the Banu Bakr tribe attacked the Banu Khuza’ah who were allies of the Muslims. Following a request for support from the Banu Khuza’ah the Islamic Prophet sent an ultimatum to the Quraysh demanding blood money or the treaty would be declared void. This violation prompted the Muslims to march on Mecca in 630 CE and take control of the city. The conquest was bloodless and involved no forced conversions as the Prophet granted general amnesty rather than seeking revenge. While ten individuals were initially excluded from this pardon most were subsequently forgiven.
