The Fall of Makkah 153
Holy Prophet (PBUH) to rise in defence. They Holy Prophet (PBUH), after consulting the Companions, sent message to the Quraysh with three conditions, and asked them to accept one of them-
1) Tne Quraysh were to pay blood-money for those slain among the Khuza’ah tribe.
2) They should have nothing to do with the Banu Bakr.
3) They should declare the Truce of Hudaibia’ null ant. void. The Quraysh refused to accept the first two conditions and sent a message to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), through Quit bin Umar that they would accept only the third condition. It was rather an unwise step on their part. Abu Sufyan, realising the grave danger for his people for their having so hastily broken the pact, went to Medina himself with a view of asking the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to renew the truce But he was at the same time deaf to the demands of the Muslims. That was totally absurd. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) could very well understand it, therefore, he refused a renewal.
