كيف اقترب المسلمون من مكة بعد نقض العهد؟
نُقض صلح الحديبية، فتوجه النبي ﷺ إلى مكة. تذكر كتب السيرة إعداد الجيش وإيقاد النيران في مر الظهران، أما أصل فتح مكة فهو ثابت في الصحيحين.
لم يكن الهدف الانتقام من مدينة قديمة، بل إنهاء الظلم وفتح باب جديد للناس. لذلك نتحفظ في تفاصيل لا تثبت، ونبقى مع المعنى الثابت.
توجه النبي ﷺ إلى مكة بعد نقض العهد.
كيف تستخدم قوتك لحماية الحق لا لإيذاء غيرك؟
إذا كنت أقوى في لعبة أو موقف، ساعد الأضعف بدل استبعاده.
كيف تمنع خلافاً من أن يتحوّل إلى شجار؟
المصادر: صحيح البخاري ومسلم، أخبار فتح مكة.؛ تفصيل النيران في سيرة ابن هشام يحتاج مراجعة.
Quraysh broke the treaty of Hudaybiyyah by helping an attack on Khuza'ah, who were the Muslims' allies, so those wronged had to be defended. The Prophet ﷺ prepared ten thousand men and moved in complete secrecy until he camped near Mecca. Then he ordered every man to light a fire — and Quraysh saw the hills burning with ten thousand fires, and knew that fighting was hopeless.
The best victory is the one in which no blood is shed.
Quraysh broke the treaty of Hudaybiyyah when they helped their allies against Khuza'ah — who were under the Prophet's covenant — and men of Khuza'ah were killed, so the Muslims were bound to defend the allies who had been wronged. The Prophet ﷺ prepared ten thousand men and moved in strict secrecy so that Quraysh would not gather for a battle, and camped at Marr az-Zahran near Mecca. Then he ordered every man in the army to light a fire, and in one night the hills were covered with ten thousand fires. When Abu Sufyan and the people of Mecca saw it, they were certain that resistance was pointless, and the city gave in without a battle. The aim was never to terrify, but to stop a fight before it started.
Allah says about defending the wronged: ﴿وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ﴾ — “If they seek your help, then help is your duty.”
