underneath which rivers flow)”. 4<br />

Anas who reported that eighty men from Mecca came down mount <strong>al</strong>-Tan‘im intending to take on the<br />
Prophet, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and give him peace, and his Companions by surprise. However, he captured<br />
them and spared their lives, and so <strong>Al</strong>lah, ex<strong>al</strong>ted is He, reve<strong>al</strong>ed (And He it is Who hath withheld men’s<br />
hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, after He had made you vicors over them).<br />
‘Abd <strong>Al</strong>lah ibn Mughaff<strong>al</strong> <strong>al</strong>-Muzani said: “We were with the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>lah, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and<br />
give him peace, at <strong>al</strong>-Hudaybiyyah close to the base of the tree which was mentioned in the Qur’an when<br />
thirty armed youths suddenly charged on us. <strong>The</strong> Prophet, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and give him peace, prayed<br />
against them, and <strong>Al</strong>lah, ex<strong>al</strong>ted is He, took away their sight. We then bounced on them and seized them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>lah, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and give him peace, asked them: ‘Have you come under the<br />
protection of someone Has anyone given you a guarantee of safety’ <strong>The</strong>y said: ‘No, by <strong>Al</strong>lah!’ He let<br />
them go after which <strong>Al</strong>lah, ex<strong>al</strong>ted is He, reve<strong>al</strong>ed (And He it is Who hath withheld men’s hands from you,<br />
and hath withheld your hands from them…)”.<br />
