3025. It was narrated that Wahb
said: "I asked Jābir about the condition of Thaqīf when they gave their pledge?" He said: "They stipulated to the Prophet ﷺ that they should not have to pay Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) or engage in Jihād," and that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying after that: "They will give the Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) and they will engage in Jihād if they accept Islam."

Commentary
After the completion of the Battle of Hunain, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ headed towards Aṭ-Ṭā'if in Shawwal of 8 AH. Those people closeted themselves inside the fort, which the Muslims besieged, and the siege continued for 18 or 20 days and, according to one version, for as long as forty days. However, before the Prophet's arrival at Al-Madinah, their chief, 'Urwah bin Mas'ūd Ath-Thaqafī, came to the Prophet ﷺ and embraced Islam. His people, however, formally sent their delegation as late as Ramaḍān of the year 9 AH and accepted Islam.
