Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This questioner, Abu Ibrahīm, says: When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah and conquered Makkah, he said to them, “Go, for you are free.” What are the lessons learned from this? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. When Allah enabled His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to take control of Makkah and the Sacred Mosque, and to purify it from the polytheists, and the polytheists had previously harmed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), oppressed him, and expelled him from Makkah, which he loved, at that time, when he took control of their affairs and Allah enabled him to deal with them, and he became the ruler over Makkah and its people.
The polytheists gathered in the Sacred Mosque. They had wronged the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, “What do you think I will do with you?” They said, “Good, you are a noble brother and the son of a noble brother.” So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Go, for you are free.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them pardon. This is from his forbearance (peace and blessings be upon him), and from the nobility of his character, and its effect on them was such that many of them embraced Islam. Yes.
