- How Mohammed got support
The Messenger of Allah supported the oppressed
According to the terms of the Hudaybiyah peace treaty, everyone had the choice to enter into an alliance and pay allegiance to either the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), or the Quraysh.
As a consequence, Banu Bakr paid allegiance to Quraysh, and Khuzaโah paid allegiance to the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ). There were wars between Banu Bakr and Khuzaโah during the pre-Islamic era, and during the treaty between them, Nawfal Ibn Muโawiyah, from Banu Bakr, led a group of men from his people and headed to the tribe of Khuzaโah. They reached Khuzaโah at night and killed a man called Munabbih. Thereupon, the people of Khuzaโah woke up and started fighting them. Quraysh provided Banu Bakr with weapons and some of them fought with Banu Bakr at night. When the war ended, โAmr Ibn Salim may Allah be pleased with him went to the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), and when he reached him, while he was sitting in the Masjid, he said some poetic verses describing the attack and the breaching of the treaty. He sought the support of the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ). Ibn Ishaq may Allah have mercy upon him said, โThe Messenger of Allah said to him: โO โAmr Ibn Salim, you are supported.โ This was the cause of the conquest of Makkah.โ [Fatโh Al-Bari 592/7]
