Abu Malik: ... I want to say specifically about this, or ... Our Shaykh, the story of Abu Basir, as is well known, was the implementation of the terms in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
The Shaykh: That is what we mentioned.
Abu Malik: Yes, indeed, but of course the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah ended and was severed by the violation committed by the polytheists, which was the cause of the entire covenant being broken.
The Shaykh : You are correct.
Abu Malik: And the matter ended with the Conquest of Makkah; so do you think that this term, which the one who signed or executed it, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), violated, is it still in effect among people until the Day of Resurrection, or was it abrogated?
The Shaykh: Far be it!
Abu Malik: That is the point, therefore the response to these people is that this term cannot be used as evidence for establishing a legal argument or a Shari'ah ruling.
The Shaykh: He—may Allah bless you—the matter is more serious... if he had held fast to the term... but he forgot the entire story and ignored it.
Abu Malik: Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: And he said: The Messenger did this out of dire necessity.
Abu Malik: I seek refuge in Allah!
The Shaykh : That is it.
Abu Malik: This is a calamity, and in truth, I say here, and I am always harping on this issue, and I follow our Shaykh—may Allah bless him—in it; and that precision in learning is the cause of being saved from falling into Shari'ah violations. If he had had precision in observation and insight in this matter, he would not have cited it, nor would he have used it as evidence at all. But there are also other catastrophes by which they perhaps deem such matters permissible, which do not even agree with sound reason, and they rely on opinion alone and nothing else.
And also here I draw the brothers' attention to a linguistic issue, perhaps Brother Abu Jabir mentioned it, so I wanted to point it out, which is that when we say "we met," we do not say "we met with him" or "with him," rather the verb is transitive by itself here, so we say "we met him" or "we met them" and the like.
