4150. Narrated Al-Barā': رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Do you (people) consider the conquest of Makkah, the Victory [referred to in the Qur'an V.48:1]? Was the conquest of Makkah a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwān Pledge which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet ﷺ). On the day of Al-Hudaibiya we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked (Allāh), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.
