Abstract:
The first battle in which the sword of Allah, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid, may Allah be pleased with him, participated, was the Battle of Mote; As we have discussed in the previous section, the relation to it completely.
The second campaign in which he participated and showed bravery and victories is the same campaign that became the blessed conquest of Makkah.
The conclusion and summary of this topic is; When the Quraysh and the polytheists of Makkah violated the agreements, they made in the peace of Hudaybiyah, the Holy Prophet of Islam, PBUH, was able to attack the city of Makkah with a reason and evidence and conquer it with a better tactic and method.
Therefore, they gathered ten thousand people from the emigrants (Mohajireen) and the Ansar and divided them into four groups, at the head of the basic and important group was himself, who entered Makkah from the front, and the second group was under the command of Hazrat Khalid, who was from the side. On the right, they were entering the city of Makkah from the lower direction, and the third group was under the command of Hazrat Zubair bin Awam, may Allah be pleased with him, and the fourth group was headed by Hazrat Saad bin Abadah, may Allah be pleased with him.
The Holy Prophet, PBUH, had told everyone to avoid killing and bloodshed separately, and as long as no one is involved with you; Do not fight with anyone!
From Qada, the polytheists of Makkah prepared a group headed by “Safwan bin Umayya, Ikrama bin Abu Jahl and Suhail bin Amr” and sent them to the lower part of the city of Makkah, an area called “Khandamah”. This was the place where Hazrat Khalid, may Allah be pleased with him, was appointed to pass through; Therefore, when he and his companions arrived there, they were shot by polytheists, he tried to dissuade them from fighting; But they did not accept; In that case, he also drew his sword from its scabbard and attacked the polytheists and was able to kill twenty-eight of them and defeat them and make them regret their actions. After that, no polytheist dared to fight a Muslim.
After that, the Muslims safely shaved their heads and entered the Haram of Makkah and were able to perform their Umrah according to the order of the Holy Prophet. This was a great victory that Allah Almighty granted to the Muslims by the hand of the Holy Prophet of Islam and his devoted companions until the Day of Resurrection and turned their long-standing wish into reality.
preface
Sometimes Allah (S.W.T) gives an excuse to bring a great conquest and a great victory to the Muslims, one of which is the conquest of the holy city of Makkah.
The issue was that after the peace of Hudaybiyah, some tribes were inclined towards Islam, and some were wondering what to do in the meantime?! And some others became more enmity and did not have the patience to see the impressive victories of the Muslims. Therefore, they slowly violated the agreements between them and the Muslims.
When the Holy Prophet of Islam, may Allah bless him and grant him, saw the situation that the Quraysh and the rulers of Makkah violated their treaties and did not adhere to any laws, he also decided to complete the work of the holy city of Makkah and remove polytheism and idolatry from there forever. and make it the center of Islam and Muslims.
Precisely on the eleventh day of the holy month of Ramadan, the eighth year of the lunar calendar, on Wednesday, after the evening prayer, the Prophet of Islam, may Allah bless him and grant him, set out for Makkah with a huge army of ten thousand people.
The commanders of Fatah Mobin
The Holy Prophet of Islam, may Allah bless him and grant him , did not want murder and bloodshed to take place in the city of Makkah and Masjid al-Haram; But some of the leaders of Quraysh and other tribes had agreed that whenever the Holy Prophet of Islam, may Allah bless him and grant him , approached the city of Makkah; they attack; Therefore, as a precautionary measure, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) chose three of his smart and intelligent commanders, Khaled bin Waleed, Saad bin Ubadah, and Zubair bin Awam, along with himself.
Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: «كنا مع رسول الله صلىاللهعليهوسلم يوم الفتح، فجعل خالدَ بن الوليد على المجنبة اليمنى، وجعل الزبير بن العوام على المجنبة اليسرى، وجعل أباعبيدة على البياذقة وبطن الوادي» (All of us were with the Holy Prophet, PBUH, on the day of the conquest of Makkah. He placed Khalid bin Wa Laid on the right side of Makkah, Zubair bin Awam on the left side of Makkah, and Abu Ubaidah on the inner valley of Makkah called (Biyazqa).)
