The Conquest of Makkah Returning to Makkah, Abu Sufyan told the people about the safety guaranteed by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and also informed
Dr Majid Ali Khan, P. 276
The Fall of Makkah 155 them of the great strength of the Muslim army, pointing out to them the utter futility of offering resistance to such an army. Next morning the Holy Prophet (PBUH) marched into Makkah peacefully. He ordered Muslims to shed no blood. All the armies of Muslims entered peacefully except that of Khalid bin Walid. When he was entering the city some obstinates among the Quraysh and Banu Bakr under Safwan, Sohail, and Ikramah bin Abu Jhal, the inveterate enemies of the Islam, shot the Muslims with ar/ows. Two of the Muslims were martyred by the arrows aimed by them. Hazrat Khalid, therefore, asked the Muslims to give a reply. A little-fight took place, the leaders of the enemies field leaving behind 12 bodies of their dead fellows.
Makkhans were told that they would be safe if they kept indoors or took refuge in the Ka’bah or in Abu .Sufyan’s house. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was himself riding on a white horse and while he was entering the Holy city, his head was bent with humility to Allah. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) entered the Ka’bah and cleaned all the idols while reciting the verse of the Holy Qur’an: ”Say, the TRUTH has come and falsehood has vanished.”
Hazrat Bi’al, the all time Mu adh-dhin of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) called the Adhan on the roof of the Ka’bah, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) led the Salat.
