Immediately after the bloodless conquest of Makkah, the Prophet صلّى الله عليه وسلّم delivered the following historic address to the people of Makkah:
The Prophet صلّى الله عليه وسلّم addressing them:
"None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah. He has fulfilled His Promise and help to His slave. He has alone overthrown all the Confederates. All the rites, privileges and claims to retaliation and blood compensation are beneath my feet except the custody of the Ka'bah and the giving water to the pilgrims. Even cutting down a green tree is not valid within the sanctuary. O you people of the Quraysh, Allaah has abolished the haughtiness of paganism and the pride of lineage. Man comes from Aadam and Aadam came from clay. Allaah the Almighty Says (what means): 'O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allaah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allaah is Knowing and Acquainted'. [Quran, 49:13]
O Quraysh! what do you think I am about to do with you?" "We hope for the best," they replied, "You are a noble brother, son of a noble brother." The Prophet of Allaah said in reply, "I say to you what Yoosuf (Prophet Joseph ) said to his brothers: 'Have no fear this day, go your way for you are all free'."
