 | | In the peaceful atmosphere brought about by the treaty of Hudaybiya, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, sent letters to neighboring kings inviting them to the fold of Islam. |
 | | When the Muslim army reached Mu’ta, it met with a Byzantine army of 100,000 men. |
 | | Although this was a victory for the Muslims, they were ashamed to meet God’s Messenger, who, however, welcomed them and consoled them, saying: You did not flee; you retreated to join me, and will go against them later. |
