On the return journey to Medinah, the 'Victory' chapter of
the Koran was revealed to the Prophet (pbuh). It begins:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
“Surely We have given thee (0 Muhammad) a clear victory,
That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin That which is past and
that which is to come, And may complete His blessings upon
thee, And may guide thee on the right path, And that Allah
may help thee with mighty help”. (Koran xlviii.1-3)
Now most of those who left Mecca to join the Prophet
(pbuh) without the consent of their guardians and were turned
back by him as agreed, Did not in fact return to Mecca, but
lived instead in groups along the seashore. Then they were
joined by others who had left Mecca but these groups began to
endanger Quraysh caravans which were passing by and
disrupted their trade because of this, Quraysh told the Prophet
(pbuh) that if he wanted to take these new Muslims, they
would not ask for them to be returned. The young men,
therefore, joined the Prophet (pbuh) and the people in Mecca
and Medinah grew more at ease with one another. The young
men from the seashore were shortly followed by those Muslims
who were still living in Abyssinia, and soon the numbers of
believers in Medinah had doubled.
About this time, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, the great warrior who
had defeated the Muslims at Uhud, set out from Mecca for
Medinah. Along the way he met 'Amr Ibn al-'As, the clever
speaker who had pursued the Muslims when they fled to
Abyssinia. 'Amr, who had attempted to find asylum in
Abyssinia, had just returned from that country, the Negus
having urged him to enter Islam. He asked Khalid, 'Where are
you going?' Khalid replied, 'The way has become clear. The
man is certainly a Prophet, and by Allah, I am going to become
a Muslim. How much longer should I delay?' 'Amr Ibn al-As
answered, 'I am travelling for the same reason. So they both
traveled on to Medinah to join the Prophet(pbuh). The two
men were, however, worried about meeting the Prophet
(pbuh) because of having fought against the Muslims in the
past.
