4251. Narrated Al-Barā': رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When the Prophet ﷺ proceeded to perform 'Umra in the month of Dhul-Qa'da, the people of Makkah stopped him from entering Makkah till he agreed to conclude a peace treaty with them by virtue of which he would stay in Makkah for three days only (in the following year). When the agreement was being written, the Muslims wrote: "This is the peace treaty, which Muḥammad the Messenger of Allāh has concluded." The infidels said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "We do not agree with you on this, for if we knew that you are the Messenger of Allāh we would not have prevented you for anything (i.e., entering Makkah, etc.), but you are Muḥammad, the son of 'Abdullāh." Then he (ﷺ) said to 'Alī, "Erase (the name of) 'Messenger of Allāh'." 'Alī said, "No, by Allāh, I will never erase you (i.e., your name)." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ took the writing sheet—and he did not know a better writing... and he wrote(1) or got it the following written! "This is the peace treaty which Muḥammad, the son of 'Abdullāh, has concluded: Muḥammad should not bring arms into Makkah except sheathed swords, and should not take with him any person of the people of Makkah even if such a person wanted to follow him, and if any of his companions wants to stay in Makkah, he should not forbid him." (In the next year) when the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah and when the stipulated period of stay elapsed, the infidels came to 'Alī and said, "Tell your companion (Muḥammad ﷺ) to go out, as the stipulated period of his stay has finished." So the Prophet ﷺ departed (from Makkah) and the daughter of Ḥamza followed him shouting "O Uncle, O Uncle!" 'Alī took her by the hand and said to Fāṭima عليها السلام "Take the daughter of your uncle." So, she made her ride (on her horse). (When they reached Al-Madīna) 'Alī, Zaid and Ja'far quarreled about her. 'Alī said, "I took her for she is the daughter of my uncle." Ja'far said, "She is the daughter of my uncle and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is the daughter of my brother." On that, the Prophet ﷺ gave her to her aunt and said, "The aunt is of the same status as the mother." He then said to 'Alī, "You are from me, and I am from you," and said to Ja'far, "You resemble me in appearance and character," and said to Zaid, "You are our brother and our freed slave." 'Alī said to the Prophet ﷺ "Won't you marry the daughter of Ḥamza?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "She is the daughter of my foster milk-suckling brother."
