I have given you, O Messenger, a clear victory by the Treaty of Hudaybiyah.

So that Allah may forgive you for your sins, those that occurred previous to this victory and those that will occur in the future and complete His favor on you by assisting your religion and guiding you to a straight path in which there is no crookedness, which is the straight path of Islam.

Allah will help you against your enemies with formidable support that no one can repel.

Allah is the One who sent down [the feeling of] stability and tranquility into the hearts of the believers so that they increase their belief. To Allah alone belongs the forces of the heavens and the earth; he supports with them whoever of His slaves He wishes. Allah knows what is in the best interests of His slaves, and He is Wise in the assistance and support He gives.

To enter those men and women who believe in Allah and His Messenger into gardens with streams flowing under their palaces and trees and wiping away their wrongdoings from them and not taking them to account for it. What has been mentioned about attaining the objective of Paradise and removing the fear of accountability in the sight of Allah is an unparalleled success.

And to punish the hypocrites, male and female, and to punish those men and women who ascribe partners to Allah, and those who think that Allah will not assist His religion and His word will not be raised and that fortune will turn against the believers. Punishment befell them, and Allah became angry with them because of their disbelief and evil thoughts, and He expelled them from His mercy and prepared for them in the Afterlife Hell, which they will enter to remain there forever. What a miserable place of return for them!

And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, with which He supports whomever of His slaves He wills, and Allah is All-Mighty, and no one can overcome Him, Most-Wise in His creation, decrees, and administration of affairs.

O Messenger, We have sent you as a witness to give testimony against your nation on the day of resurrection and as one to give good news to the believers of the victory and empowerment Allah has prepared for them in this world and of the bliss He has prepared for them in the Hereafter, and to warn the disbelievers of the humiliation and defeat at the hands of the believers that He has prepared for them in this world, and the painful punishment awaiting them that He has prepared for them in the Hereafter.

In the hope that you will believe in Allah and His Messenger, revere and honor His messenger, and exalt Allah at the beginning and end of the day.

Those of the people of Mecca who pledged allegiance to you, O Messenger, during the Pledge of Satisfaction to fight the Meccan polytheists are pledging allegiance to Allah. Allah is the One who ordered them to fight the polytheists, and He is the One who rewards them. The Hand of Allah is above their hands at the time of giving the pledge, and He is aware of them, and nothing is hidden from Him. So, he who breaches his pledge and fails to fulfill the promise he made to Allah in terms of supporting His religion shall bear the harm of breaking his pledge. Allah is not harmed by this, and whoever fulfills what he promised Allah in terms of supporting His religion, He will give him a great reward, which is Paradise.

Those desert Arabs whom Allah kept behind from accompanying you, O Messenger, on your journey to His House will say to you when you reproach them: Taking care of our wealth and looking after our children kept us busy from going out with you. So, ask for forgiveness from Allah on our behalf for our sins. They ask what is not in their hearts with their tongues by asking the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to seek forgiveness for them; they have not repented their sins. Say to them: No one can do anything for you against Allah if He intends good or bad for you. Instead, Allah is well aware of what you do. Nothing of your actions is hidden from Him, no matter how much you try to conceal it.

The reason for your failure to join the Messenger in combat is not the excuse you gave him of being busy caring for your possessions and children. Rather, you thought that the Messenger and his companions would all perish and would not return to their families in Madīnah. The Devil beautified this in your hearts. Your thoughts led you to think wickedly about your Lord: that He would not help His Prophet. You became a doomed people because of your negative thoughts about Allah and because you fell behind from joining His Messenger [in battle].

The person who does not believe in Allah and His Messenger is a disbeliever. We have prepared on the Day of Resurrection for those who deny Allah a blazing fire by which they will be punished.

To Allah alone belongs the control of the heavens and the earth. He forgives the sins of those of His slaves whom He wills and enters them into Paradise through His Grace. He torments those of His slaves whom He wills out of His Justice. Allah forgives the sins of those of His slaves who repent to Him, and He is merciful towards them.

Those whom Allah kept behind, when you, O believers, set off to take the spoils of Khaybar which Allah had promised you after the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, will say: Let us go out with you to get some of it. These people who were left behind want to change, by their request, Allah's promise that He made to the believers after the Treaty of Hudaybiyah to give them alone the spoils of Khaybar. Say to them, O Messenger: You will never follow us to those spoils because Allah has promised us that the seizures of Khaybar are only for those present at Hudaybiyah. They will say: Your preventing us from following you to Khaybar is not an instruction from Allah, but because you are jealous of us. The matter is not as these people who were left behind claim. Instead, they do not understand Allah's instructions and prohibitions except a little, so they have fallen into going against Him.

O Messenger, to test those Bedouins who failed to travel to Mecca with you, say to them: You will soon be called to fight against a strong, courageous group of people whom you shall either have to fight in the path of Allah, or they may enter into Islam without a fight. If you obey Allah in the fighting He is calling you to, He will give you a good reward, i.e., Paradise. If you turn away from His obedience, just like you turned away from traveling with the Messenger to Mecca, He will inflict a painful punishment on you.

There is no sin on a person excused due to blindness, disability, or illness if he fails to fight in the path of Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will enter him into gardens and trees and palaces of which rivers flow; whoever turns away from their obedience, Allah will inflict a painful punishment on him.

Verily, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave you their oaths at al-Hudaybiyah under the tree. Allah knew of their faith, sincerity, and honesty, bringing tranquility to their hearts. And He rewarded them with a close victory, i.e., the victory over Khaybar, as consolation for them missing out on being able to enter Mecca.

And He also granted them many spoils of war they took from the people of Khaybar. Allah is the Almighty whom no one can overcome; the Wise in His creation, decree, and control.

O believers, Allah promises you much war booty in future Islamic victories. Still, He gave you the spoils of Khaybar in advance and stopped the hands of the Jews when they intended to capture your families after you. And He has done this so that these advanced spoils become a sign for you of the help of Allah and His support for you. And Allah guides you to a straight path in which there is no deviance.

And Allah promises you the spoils of war you have yet to be able to attain. Allah alone can let you acquire them; they are part of the plans and knowledge of Allah. Allah is Omnipotent over everything; nothing is beyond His capability.

O believers, if those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger were to fight you, they would turn their backs, defeated and fleeing. They would not find any guardian who would take care of their affair, nor any helper who would help them fight against you.

The believers being victorious and then defeating the disbelievers is established in every place and era; Allah's divine practice is prevalent in the nations that have passed before these rejectors. O Messenger! You will never find change in the way of Allah.

He is the One who prevented the polytheists from harming and getting to you when approximately 70 men came to Hudaybiyah, intending to cause you harm. He stopped you from them; you did not kill them or cause them any damage. Instead, you freed them after Allah enabled you to capture them. And Allah is watchful over your actions; none of your actions are hidden from Him.

They are the ones who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and stopped you and the sacrificial animals from the Sacred Mosque. The animals remained barred from reaching the Haram, where they were to be sacrificed. Had it not been for a few believing men whom you did not know were believers, and by killing the disbelievers, you could have killed them also, and incurred sin and would have had to pay blood money unknowingly, Allah would have allowed you to liberate Mecca so that He may enter into His mercy whomever He wished, i.e., the believers in Mecca. If the disbelievers were distinguished from the believers in Mecca, Allah would have punished those who disbelieved in Him and His Messenger with a painful punishment.

Remember when those who disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger harbored in their hearts the pride of ignorance, an ignorance linked to desires and not the truth? They haughtily rejected the entrance of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم into Mecca in the year of the treaty of al-Hudaybiyah, fearing and blaming him that he would overpower them and take control over it. Therefore, Allah sent down tranquility from Himself upon His Messenger and the believers so their anger did not lead to them confronting the polytheists with the same actions. Allah made the believers firm upon the statement of truth, i.e., there is none worthy of worship except for Allah, and kept them firm upon fulfilling their rights which they fulfilled. The believers were more worthy of this statement than others and more deserving of it because of the goodness within their hearts that Allah knew of. And Allah is aware of everything; nothing is hidden from Him.

Indeed, Allah made the dream of His Messenger a reality; He showed it to him in his sleep and informed his companions of it. The dream was that he and his companions were entering the sacred house of Allah in safety from their enemies, with some of them having shaved their heads and others having only trimmed their hair, indicating the completion of their acts of pilgrimage. O believers! Allah knows what is in your best interests more than you. So instead of making the dream a reality by letting you enter Mecca that year, He will grant you a victory very soon, i.e., the signing of the treaty of al-Hudaybiyah and the conquest of Khaybar that followed it at the hands of the believers who had witnessed al-Hudaybiyah.

Allah is the One who sent His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم with a clear message and a true religion: the religion of Islam, so that He may make it prevail over all other opposing religions. Allah has testified to that, and He is sufficient as a witness.

Muhammad is Allah's Messenger, and his companions are strict against the disbelievers that are at war with you and merciful, affectionate, and friendly among themselves. You will see them bowing and prostrating, seeking from Allah that He grace them with forgiveness, a generous reward, and that He becomes pleased with them. Their mark is on their faces due to prostrating in obedience to Allah. That is how the Torah has described them: the book revealed to Moses (peace be upon him). As for their mention in the Gospel, which was shown to Jesus, they are likened in their assisting one another and perfection like crops that have emerged as trim, then strengthened and stood straight up, pleasing the farmers with their strength and perfection. It is so that the disbelievers are angered by the power, steadfastness, and perfection they see within them. And Allah has promised those of the companions who believe in Him and do good deeds forgiveness for their sins; they will not be taken to account over their sins, and the great reward of Paradise.
