English translation
3024. It was narrated from AbU Hurairah that when the Prophet entered Makkah he left Az-Zubair bin A1-'Awwam, AbU 'Ubaidah bin A1-Jarrãh, and Khãlid bin Al-Walid in charge of the cavalry, and said: "0 AbU Hurairah, call the Ansar." He said: "Go this way, and whoever appears before you, kill him." A caller cried out: "The Quraish will be no more after this day." The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever enters a house will be safe, and whoever throws down his weapon will be safe." The chieftains of the Quraish went and entered the Ka'bah, which was filled with them. The Prophet performed Tawaf (around the Ka'bah) and prayed behind the Maqam, then he took hold of the two sides of the door, and they came out pledging allegiance to the Prophet upon Islam. (Sahih) AbU Dãwud said: "I heard a man asking Almad bin Hanbal: 'Was Makkah taken by force?' He said: was?' He said: 'Then was it by a treaty?' He said: 'No." (Sahiz)
