Abu Hurairah said “When the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah he left Al Zubair bin Al Awwam, Abu Ubaidah bin Al Jarrah and Khalid bin Al Walid on the horses and he said “Abu Hurairah call the helpers. ” He said”Go this way. Whoever appears before you kill him”. A man called “the Quraish will be no more after today. ” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “he who entered house is safe, he who throws the weapon is safe. The chiefs of the Quraish intended (to have a resort in the Kaabah), they entered the Kaabah and it was full of them. The Prophet ﷺ took rounds of Kaabah and prayed behind the station. He then held the sides of the gate (of the Kaabah). They (the people) came out and took the oath of allegiance (at the hands) of the Prophet ﷺ on Islam. Abu Dawud said “I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal (say) when he was asked by a man “Was Makkah captured by force?” He said “What harms you whatever it was? He said “Then by peace?” He said, No.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib brought Abu Sufyan ibn Harb to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the conquest (of Makkah). So he embraced Islam at Marr az-Zahran. Al-Abbas said to him: Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a man who likes taking this pride, if you may do something for him. He said: Yes, he who enters the house of Abu Sufyan is safe, and he who closes his door is safe.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet ﷺ alighted at Marr az-Zahran, al-Abbas said: I thought, I swear by Allah, if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ enters Makkah with the army by force before the Quraysh come to him and seek protection from him, it will be their total ruin. So I rode on the mule of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and thought, Perhaps I may find a man coming for his needs who will to the people of Makkah and inform them of the position of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so that they may come to him and seek protection from him. While I was on my way, I heard Abu Sufyan and Budayl ibn Warqa' speaking. I said: O AbuHanzalah! He recognized my voice and said: AbulFadl? I replied: Yes. He said: who is with you, may my parents be a sacrifice for you? I said: Here are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his people (with him). He asked: Which is the way out? He said: He rode behind me, and his companion returned. When the morning came, I brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he embraced Islam. I said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a man who likes this pride, do something for him. He said: Yes, he who enters the house of Abu Sufyan is safe; he who closes the door upon him is safe; and he who enters the mosque is safe. The people scattered to their houses and in the mosque.
