Peace Treaty
علي بن إبراهيم: ثم أخبر الله عز و جل نبيه (صلى الله عليه و آله) بعلة الصلح، و ما أجاز الله لنبيه، فقال:هُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ وَ الْهَدْيَ مَعْكُوفاً أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُ وَ لَوْ لا رِجالٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَ نِساءٌ مُؤْمِناتٌ يعني بمكة: لَمْ تَعْلَمُوهُمْ أَنْ تَطَؤُهُمْ فَتُصِيبَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ مَعَرَّةٌ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فأخبر الله نبيه أن علة الصلح إنما كان للمؤمنين و المؤمنات الذين كانوا بمكة، و لو لم يكن صلح و كانت الحرب لقتلوا
Ali Bin Ibrahim
‘Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Informed His-azwj Prophet-saww about the reasons for the reconciliation, and what Allah-azwj had Permitted to His-azwj Prophet-saww, so he-azwj Said [48:25] It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and prevented the offering from arriving at its destined place; and were it not for the believing men and the believing women, Meaning the ones who were in Makkah whom, not having known, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge. So Allah-azwj Informed His-azwj Prophet-saww of the reason for the reconciliation, which was for the safety of the Believing men and the Believing women who were at Makkah, and had it not been for the reconciliation and a battle had ensued, they would have been killed.
فلما كان الصلح آمنوا و أظهروا الإسلام، و يقال: إن ذلك الصلح كان أعظم فتحا على المسلمين من غلبهم
So, when the reconciliation took place, they were safe, and Al-Islam was triumphant, and it was said, ‘That reconciliation was the greatest victory for the Muslims over the ones they overcame.[1]
