Sahih al-Bukhari 3184

Hadith text

Narrated Al-Bara:When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform the `Umra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking their permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So `Ali bin Abi- Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has agreed to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, 'This is what Muhammad bin `Abdullah has agreed to..' " On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad bin `Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of 'Allah." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used not to write; so he asked `Ali to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that `Ali said, "By Allah I will never erase it." Allah's Apostle said (to `Ali), "Let me see the paper." When `Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet (ﷺ) erased the expression with his own hand. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had entered Mecca and three days had elapsed, the Meccans came to `Ali and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca." `Ali informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes," and then he departed

Al-Bara bataate hain: Jab Nabi ne Umrah karne ka iraada kiya, unhone Mecca ke logon ko yeh puchne ke liye ek shaks bheja ke woh unhe Mecca mein daakhil hone ki ijazat den. Unhone shart rakhi ke Nabi teen din se zyada na ruken aur sirf ghire hue hathiyaar ke saath daakhil hon aur wahaan kisi ko (Islam ka) upadesh na den. Isliye Ali bin Abi Talib donon ke beech muahida likhna shuru kiya. Unhone likha, "Yeh woh hai jispar Muhammad, Allah ke Rasool, raazi hue hain." (Mecca walon ne) kaha, "Agar humein pata hota ke tum (Muhammad) Allah ke Rasool ho, hum tumhe na rokte aur tumhari pairvi karte. Magar likho, 'Yeh woh hai jispar Muhammad bin Abdullah raazi hue hain..'" Isspar Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, "Allah ki qasam, main Muhammad bin Abdullah hoon, aur Allah ki qasam, main Allah ka Rasool hoon." Allah ke Rasool likhna nahi jaante the, isliye unhone Ali se "Allah ke Rasool" ka lafz mitane ko kaha. Isspar Ali ne kaha, "Allah ki qasam main ise kabhi nahi mitaunga." Allah ke Rasool ne (Ali se) kaha, "Mujhe kaagaz dikhao." Jab Ali ne unhe kaagaz dikhaya, Nabi ne khud apne haathon se woh lafz mita diya. Jab Allah ke Rasool Mecca mein daakhil ho gaye aur teen din guzar gaye, Mecca ke log Ali ke paas aaye aur kaha, "Apne dost (yaani Nabi) se kaho Mecca chhod den." Ali ne yeh Allah ke Rasool ko bataya aur Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, "Haan," aur phir woh chale gaye.
