Allah declares that He is pleased with the believers who gave the pledge to the Messenger of Allah under the tree. We mentioned the number of these believers as being one thousand and four hundred and that the tree was a Samurah tree, located in the area of Hudaybiyyah. Al-Bukhari narrated from Tariq that ‘Abdur-Rahman said, “I went on Hajj and passed by people praying and asked, What is this Masjid?’ They said, This is the tree where the Messenger of Allah took the pledge of Ar-Ridwan.’ So, I went to Said bin Al-Musayyib and told him. Said said, ‘My father told me that he was among those who gave their pledge to the Messenger of Allah under the tree. My father said: The following year, when we went out, we forgot its place and could not agree which tree it was.’ Said said, The Companions of Muhammad forgot where the tree was, but you know where it is. Therefore, you have better knowledge than them!’” Allah said, {He knew what was in their hearts,} meaning, of truthfulness, trustworthiness, obedience and adherence, {and He sent down As-Sakinah} calmness and tranquillity, {upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory.} in reference to the goodness that Allah the Exalted and Most Honored caused to happened to the Companions on account of the peace treaty between them and their disbelieving enemies. Ever after that, the Companions gained abundant, general and continuous benefits and accomplishments, leading to the conquest of Khaybar and Makkah and then the various surrounding provinces and areas. They earned tremendous glory, triumphs and an elevated and honorable status in this life and in the Hereafter, just as Allah the Exalted said. {And abundant spoils that they will capture. And Allah is Ever All-Mighty, All-Wise.}
