Sahih al-Bukhari 3052 (Book 58, Hadith 26)
permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would
not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So `Ali bin Abi-
Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, “This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah
has agreed to.” The (Meccans) said, “If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then
we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, ‘This is what Muhammad
bin `Abdullah has agreed to..’ ” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Allah, I am Muhammad bin
`Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of ‘Allah.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used not to write; so he asked `Ali
to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that `Ali said, “By Allah I will never erase it.” Allah’s
Apostle said (to `Ali), “Let me see the paper.” When `Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet (ﷺ) erased
the expression with his own hand. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had entered Mecca and three days had
elapsed, the Meccans came to `Ali and said, “Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca.” `Ali
informed Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about it and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Yes,” and then he departed.
