Sahih al-Bukhari 3050 (Book 58, Hadith 24)
the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Hudaibiya, and if we had been called to fight, we would have fought. But
`Umar bin Al Khatab came and said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Aren’t we in the right and our opponents in
the wrongs’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Yes.’ `Umar said, ‘Aren’t our killed persons in Paradise and their’s in
Hell?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ `Umar said, ‘Then why should we accept hard terms in matters concerning our
religion? Shall we return before Allah judges between us and them?’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘O Ibn Al-
Khattab! I am the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade me. Then `Umar went to Abu Bakr
and told him the same as he had told the Prophet.
On that Abu Bakr said (to `Umar). ‘He is the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade him.’ Then
Surat-al-Fath (i.e. Victory) was revealed and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited it to the end in front of `Umar.
On that `Umar asked, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Was it (i.e. the Hudaibiya Treaty) a victory?’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
said, “Yes”.
