the sacrificial animals to the place of sacrifice in Makkah, as they could have done under ii. 196. The sacrifice was
therefore actually offered at Hudaibiya. (48.25)
4904 There were at the time in Makkah believing Muslims, men and women, and the faith of some of them was unknown to
their brethren from Madinah. Had a fight taken place in Makkah, even though the Muslims had been successful, they
would unwittingly have killed some of these unknown Muslims, and thus would unwittingly have been guilty of
shedding Muslim blood. This was prevented by the Treaty. (48.25)
4905 Allah works according to His wise and holy Will and Plan, and not according to what seems to us, in the excitement of
human life, to be the obvious course of things. By preventing a fight He saved many valuable lives, not only of
Muslims but also of some who became Muslims afterwards and served Islam. He grants His Mercy on far higher
standards than man in his limited horizon can see. (48.25)
4906 If the party from Madinah could have distinguished Muslims from non-Muslims among the Makkans, they might have
been allowed to enter and punish the pagan Quraish for their inordinate vanity and gross breach of the unwritten law
of the land. But in the actual circumstances the best solution was the Treaty of Hudaibiya. (48.25)

SACRED PRECINCTS OF MAKKAH (HARAM MAKKAH)
The Sacred Precincts of Makkah include the area around Makkah, marked by stones a meter high, on all roads leading to, or
from Makkah.
On the northern side Haram Makkah extends to Tan'im, six kilometers from the Sacred Mosque, and on the southern side to
Adah, twelve kilometers from Makkah. On its eastern side, sixteen kilometers away, lies al-Ji'ranah, while on its northeastern
border lies the valley of Nakhlah, which is fourteen kilometers from Makkah. On the western border lies Al-Shmaisi, (This
place used to be called Al-Hudaibiya. It was here that the Prophet (peace be upon him) took the famous pledge - bai 'at
ridwan - from his Companions. The Battle of Al-Hudaibiya is named after it) fifteen kilometers from Makkah.
Muhibbuddin At-Tabari reported from Az-Zuhari from Obaidullah bin Abdullah bin 'Utba and said: "Prophet Ibrahim (peace be
upon him) put up markers for the Sacred Precincts as shown to him by Gabriel (peace be upon him)." These markers were
undisturbed until the time of Qusaiy, who renewed them. After that the Prophet (peace be upon him), in the year of the
conquest of Makkah, sent Tamim bin Osaid al-Khozai'i to refurbish them. Later 'Umar appointed four men from Quraish,
Muhrama bin Nawfal, Sa'id bin Yarbu', Howaiteb bin Abdil-Uzza, and Azhar bin Abd-Auf, to renew these markers.
Subsequently, first Mu'awiyah and then Abdul-Malik refurbished them.

Making Ghusl upon entering Makkah
It is preferable for whoever wants to enter Makkah to perform gh usl. It is reported that Ibn 'Umar, when going to Makkah,
would spend the night in Tawa, and would enter Makkah during the day. He mentioned that the Prophet, upon whom be
peace, also used to do this. (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) Ibn al-Mundhir said, "All of the scholars say it is preferred to
perform ghusl upon entering Makkah, but if one does not do so, there is no expiation for him to make. Most of them say that
the regular ablution is sufficient.
