Makkan  plenipotentiary, Suhail bin ‘Amr declared that he knew nothing about Ar-Rahman and insisted upon  the  customary formula Bi-ismika Allâhumma, i.e., “In Your Name, O Allâh!” The Muslims grumbled with  uneasiness but the Prophet (Peace be upon him) agreed. He then went on to dictate, “This is what
Muhammad, the Messenger of Allâh has agreed to with Suhail bin ‘Amr.” Upon this Suhail again  protested: “Had we acknowledged you as Prophet, we would not have debarred you from the Sacred
House, nor fought against you. Write your own name and the name of your father.” The Muslims  grumbled as before and refused to consent to the change. The Prophet (Peace be upon him), however,  in the larger interest of Islam, attached no importance to such an insignificant detail, erased the words  himself, and dictated instead: “Muhammad, the son of ‘Abdullah.” Soon after this treaty, Khuza‘a clan,  a former ally of Banu Hashim, joined the ranks of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and Banu Bakr  sided with Quraish.
It was during this time while the treaty was being written that Abu Jandal, Suhail’s son, appeared on  the scene. He was brutally chained and was staggering with privation and fatigue. The Prophet (Peace  be upon him) and his Companions were moved to pity and tried to secure his release but Suhail was  adamant and said: “To signify that you are faithful to your contract, an opportunity has just arrived.”
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: “But the treaty was not signed when your son entered the  camp.” Upon this, he burst forth and said, “but the terms of the treaty were agreed upon.” It was  indeed an anxious moment. On the one hand, Abu Jandal was lamenting at the top of his voice, “Am I  to be returned to the polytheists that they might entice me from my religion, O Muslims!” but, on the  other hand, the faithful engagement was also considered to be necessary, above all other  considerations. The Prophet’s heart welled up with sympathy, but he wanted to honour his word at all  costs. He consoled Abu Jandal and said, “Be patient, resign yourself to the Will of Allâh. Allâh is going  to  provide for you and your helpless companions relief and means of escape. We have concluded a treaty  of peace with them and we have taken the pledge in the Name of Allâh. We are, therefore, under no  circumstances prepared to break it.” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab could not help giving vent to the  deep-seated  agony of his heart. He rose to his feet uttering words implying deep hatred and extreme indignation  and requested Abu Jandal to take his sword and kill Suhail, but the son spared his father. However, in  silent resignation was therefore, Abu Jandal borne away with his chains.
When the peace treaty had been concluded, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) ordered his Companions  to slaughter their sacrificial animals, but they were too depressed to do that. The Prophet (Peace be  upon him) gave instructions in this regard three times but with negative response. He told his wife
Umm Salamah about this attitude of his Companions. She advised that he himself take the initiative,  slaughter his animal and have his head shaved. Seeing that, the Muslims, with rended hearts, started  to slaughter their animals and shave their heads. They even almost killed one another because of their  distress. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) prayed three times for those who shaved their heads and  once for those who cut their hair. A camel was sacrificed on behalf of seven men and a cow on behalf  of  the same number of people. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) sacrificed a camel which once belonged  to Abu Jahl and which the Muslims had seized as booty at Badr, thus enraging the polytheists. During
Al-Hudaibiyah campaign, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) permitted Ka‘b bin ‘Ujrah, who was in a  state of Ihram (state of ritual consecration of the pilgrim) for ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) to shave his  head due to illness, on the condition that he will pay compensation by sacrificing a sheep, fasting for  three days or feeding six needy persons. Concerning this, the following verse was revealed:
“And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay a
Fidyah (ransom) of either fasting (three days) or giving Sadaqa (feeding six poor persons) or  offering sacrifice (one sheep).” 2:196
Meanwhile some believing women emigrated to Madinah and asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him)  for refuge which they were granted. When their families demanded their return, he would not hand  them back because the following verse was revealed:
“O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allâh  knows best as to their Faith, then if you know them for true believers, send them not back to the  disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent
as their Mahr to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their
Mahr to them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives …” 60:10
