for them. However, the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم even graced them with forgiveness.

The Proclamation of General Amnesty on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah

In 8 AH, when Makkah was conquered, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, in his capacity as the leader of the Islamic Ummah, held the first general assembly in the Sacred Sanctuary of Allah. In this assembly, alongside the Islamic forces, there was a massive crowd of thousands of enemies of Islam. In this majestic sermon, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم addressed not only the people of Makkah but everyone in general.

After the sermon, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم cast a deep glance over this gathering of thousands and saw the leaders of the Quraysh standing with their heads bowed and gazes lowered, trembling in fear. Among those tyrants and oppressors were those who had scattered thorns in the path of the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. There were those who had repeatedly pelted him with stones. There were those bloodthirsty ones who had made multiple assassination attempts on the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

There were those heartless individuals who had caused the martyrdom of (a part of) his blessed teeth and left his luminous countenance covered in blood. There were those unruly individuals who, for years, had brought him pain with their slanders and shameful abuses. There were those cruel and predatory characters who had placed a cloth around the neck of the holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and attempted to strangle him. There were those blood thirsty individuals, whose thirst could be quenched by nothing other than the Prophetic blood.
