The Prophet's SeerahThe Prophet ﷺ set out with his companions intending to perform Umrah, but Quraysh blocked them at Hudaybiyyah, so a treaty was made with a ten-year truce. The companions pledged allegiance to the Prophet under the tree — the Pledge of Ridwan — when a rumor spread that Uthman had been killed. Although the terms of the treaty appeared unjust, Allah named it a manifest victory, for people found safety and Islam spread during the time of the truce.
