الحديبية
Hudaybiyyah is located on the outskirts of মক্কা মুকাররমা, where the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was signed in 6 AH (628 CE) between Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraysh. Though initially appearing unfavorable, আল-কুরআন described it as a 'clear victory' (Surah Al-Fath 48:1). It was also the site of Bay'at ar-Ridwan, the Pledge of Pleasure under a tree.
In 6 AH, নবী করীম (PBUH) set out with about 1,400 Muslims for উমরাহ. The Quraysh blocked their entry to মক্কা মুকাররমা. Negotiations took place at Hudaybiyyah, where নবী করীম received the Bay'at ar-Ridwan (Pledge under the Tree) from his companions, pledging to fight if necessary. The resulting treaty included a 10-year truce, the Muslims returning that year but being allowed to perform উমরাহ the following year, and mutual non-aggression terms. Though some companions were initially disappointed, আল-কুরআন called it a 'manifest victory.' The peace enabled widespread dawah and the Muslim community grew rapidly.
The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is one of the most strategically significant events in the seerah. It demonstrated নবী করীম's wisdom in diplomacy, the companions' loyalty through the Bay'at ar-Ridwan (which আল-কুরআন says pleased Allah), and the principle that apparent setbacks can be divine victories. The peace led directly to the peaceful conquest of মক্কা মুকাররমা two years later.
The historic site of Hudaybiyyah is now within the urban sprawl of greater মক্কা মুকাররমা, in the area known as Al-Shumaisi. The exact tree under which the Bay'at ar-Ridwan took place no longer exists. A small মসজিদ (Masjid al-Hudaybiyyah) is in the vicinity. The site is not a common tourist destination and is not part of হজ্জ or উমরাহ rites.
