O my Muslim brothers, give me refuge.
The agreement between us has been concluded before the arrival of this one.
O my Muslim brothers, am I to be returned to the idolaters and their persecution?
Abu Jandal,
God's messenger tells you that we have made a peace agreement with these people
and exchanged pledges with them. We do not violate our pledges.
He, however, gives you happy news, saying to you:
Persevere in this adversity, Abu Jandal, as something you offer to God.
God will facilitate a way out for you and those vulnerable people with you.
Such is my brother, Abu Jandal. He always comes when it is too late.
We shall not need it again.
If anyone from Quraysh joins Muhammad without permission from his guardian,
he shall be returned to Quraysh.
If anyone who is with Muhammad joins Quraysh,
they are not required to return him.
Do you really think that you have taken for Quraysh
more than you gave God's messenger?
Haven't you heard what I said?
Tell me how many Muslims have deserted their religion
and came back to you ever since God sent you His messenger?
And how many people from Quraysh accepted Islam since then?
You fear that people will desert you. Hence, you insisted on this condition.
God's messenger, on the other hand, does not have the same fear.
Hence, he accepted it.
By God, this condition represents an admission by you
of the hollowness of your falsehood.
It also shows God's messenger's confidence in the truth he preaches.
At least his companions will not increase with people from among us.
If people will not immigrate to join God's messenger as a result of this condition,
they will not stop accepting Islam.
Within a short time, they will outnumber you here in your city.
It will not be long before the Muslims are pushing you from inside and outside,
and you will feel that Makkah is too tight for you.
I will wait and you wait, Suhail Ibn Amr.
How come, men? Don't you see that we have unchained you?
Have you got used to being in chains?
Can we go out?
We haven't set you free to stop you going out.
Can we immigrate to join God's messenger?
If you want to take the trouble to go all the way to Yathrib
and come back to Makkah in clear disappointment and frustration.
Abu Baseer! Have you fled from Makkah?
Umar, take me to God's messenger. By God, I will never return to the idolaters
to let them try to force me to renounce my faith.
But you know that our treaty with them requires us to return to them anyone
who comes to us without his guardian's permission.
Take me to God's messenger.
These two men have come demanding your return, according to the treaty
between us and Quraysh.
This man has left without permission by his guardian.
The treaty must be honoured.
How am I to be returned to the idolaters who will try to force me to renounce my faith?
Abu Baseer, you have heard what God's messenger said to you.
We have concluded a treaty with these people.
In our faith, we cannot deliberately break a promise.
God will soon provide a way of release for you and other persecuted people.
Messenger of God, you have fulfilled your promise,
and God has honoured your pledges.
You have handed me over to those people, but I sought to protect myself
from persecution and to let no one try to turn me away from my faith.
You are not at war with Quraysh, but I and those like me
have no treaty or peace agreement with Quraysh.
I am going to the coast
where Quraysh will see of me what will bring them displeasure.
It is time that the weak should inherit the tyrants.
Let us go.
At last!
At long last!
Farewell, Makkah, until we see you again, praising God with His messenger.
Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you
Some men are coming! - I wonder what they want.
Peace be upon you - Peace be upon you
Don't be scared. We shall not harm you.
Our war is with Quraysh.
This caravan is mere war gain.
It is also compensation for our property and houses
which Quraysh had taken unfairly.
Here are camels to take you to Makkah.
Let us not see you again in a caravan of Quraysh.
Your son, Abu Yazeed. Your son as well?
Why do you single out my son? He is only one man.
Yes, but he is Suhail Ibn Amr's son.
And Al-Waleed Ibn Al-Waleed is Khalid's brother.
And Ayyash Ibn Abi Rabee'ah
and Salamah Ibn Hisham are Ikrimah's uncles.
What bad uncles! - You shouldn't have set them free.
We thought that the condition we stipulated against Muhammad
will prevent them from leaving.
That condition!
We thought it was in our favour.
We said: Abu Yazeed has done us proud stipulating against Muhammad
what no one else could take from him.
Now that condition is working against us.
If the situation remains as it is now, our trade will be ruined.
And we have nothing against Muhammad.
He will say: I have honoured my promises, but these people are not under me.
Why are we blaming ourselves? Let us find a solution.
Let us send a force to subdue them.
Will you fight ghosts? Where will you find them?
They have become like our outcasts.
You cannot find them when you seek them,
but if you leave them alone they will appear at the time and place they choose.
Abu Yazeed, you put us in this position when you dictated this condition.
Extricate us from it now. Find a solution.
Do you really think that you have taken for Quraysh
more than you gave God's messenger?
I will wait and you wait, Suhail Ibn Amr.
At last my son, Abu Jandal, has shown us true determination,
proving that he is his father's son.
Are you laughing when the situation should have made you cry?
Al-Waleed! Al-Waleed, my brother!
I never thought that such determination was in him.
Yes, indeed. I denounce what he is doing, yet I am proud of him.
How can the two be combined?
Yes they do. They do.
Muhammad, Quraysh have sent us to speak to you about Abu Baseer and his band.
They have caused us much trouble and intercepted our caravans.
At Al-Hudaibiyah, Quraysh agreed with you
that you will return whoever comes to you without his guardian's permission.
Quraysh are now willing to remove this condition.
They appeal to you by the ties of kinship to take this band under your wing,
and to include them in your community. We do not need them.
Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you.
Welcome. - Welcome.
God's messenger sends you his greetings and invites you to come to Madinah
where you will be with him.
Quraysh have relented on the condition they stipulated.
They appealed to him by God and the ties of kinship to take you all.
God is supreme - God is supreme.
Where is Abu Baseer?
He has been like this for several days.
Wouldn't you join me on this camel?
I am all right, don't worry.
Haven't I told you to join me on my camel? You cannot walk any longer.
It is nothing other than a bleeding finger.
Whatever we may encounter is for God's sake.
Take my camel.
Catch up with me if you can.
At last Abu Jandal... my brother, Abu Jandal.
My brother who is always in the lead.
What do you say now, Umar?
I seek God's forgiveness. I seek God's forgiveness.
God and His messenger know better. God and His messenger know better.
You were certainly wiser than me when you told me
to stick to whatever God's messenger decides.
Aided with what God reveals to him, He sees what we cannot see.
Anger took the better of me when I objected to what God's messenger did.
Woe to Umar! How can he erase his sin?
Take it easy. You did not object to God's messenger's action.
Your anger was for the sake of God and His messenger,
even though you were mistaken.
God's messenger was not angry with you for expressing your view.
He knew what your feelings were.
After all, actions are judged against the intention behind them.
