THE ZEAL OF PAGAN ERA
VERSE NO.26
Here again some aspects of the incident of Hodaybeyeh have been pointed to:-
``When the unbelievers filled their hearts with the ardour of Pagan Era...''
The arrogance and vanity of the ignorant Arabs who lived before Islam, once again appeared in the Meccans, and caused them to bar the Messenger of God and his followers from performing the rites of pilgrimage:-
``But Allah sent down tranquillity upon His Messenger and upon the believers...'' The situation that existed there, was indeed a critical one-
When Hazrat Imam Ali (AS) as per dictation of the prophet was writing the Peace Treaty of Hodaybeyeh, his opponent, SOHAIL-IBN-AMR, objected to the introductory words as the title of Mohammad (SA), which is the, ``MESSENGER OF GOD'' or the attributes of Allah, such as, ``AL-RAHMAN=the Merciful''.
Sohail who was the representative of Ghoraish said to the prophet:- ``Had we recognized you as the Messenger of God, we would not have so much troubles with you! Therefore we want you to blot out the title of yours. The Messenger of God said to Hazrat Ali:- ``Do it as they say.''
Hazrat Ali (AS) said to the prophet:-
``O, Messenger of God! It is indeed difficult for me to erase your title of Messenger, which is a word of truth; I beg you to exempt me from this order.''
So, the prophet himself erased his title of the Messenger of God, from their peace document! Then the prophet ordered Moslims to be calm and quiet; and got the substance of their demands embodied in the TREATY without worrying about words and titles.
Thus, Allah sent down tranquillity upon His Messenger, and upon the believers that they managed to behave wisely and without excessive enthusiasm. Soon after they, found immense spiritual and physical profit in their peace treaty which some of them such as OMAR-IBN-KHATTAB thought it to be a failure and objected to it.
