===Conquest of Mecca=== {{Main|Conquest of Mecca|Muhammad after the occupation of Mecca}} <!------------ PLEASE NOTE: The consensus to include images of Muhammad emerged after extensive months-long discussions and efforts on both sides to balance multiple competing interests. Please do not remove or reposition these images because you feel they are against your religion. Please do not add more images or reposition the current ones to prove a point. To avoid pointless revert-warring, blocking and page protection, please discuss any prospective changes on the talk page. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. -------------> <div class="depiction"> [[File:Siyer-i Nebi 298a.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|A depiction from the {{tlit|ar|[[Siyer-i Nebi]]}} of Muhammad advancing on Mecca, with his face veiled.

The tribe of [[Banu Khuza'ah]] had good relations with Muhammad, whereas their enemies, the [[Banu Bakr ibn Abd Manat|Banu Bakr]], had allied with the Meccans. A clan of the Bakr made a night raid against the Khuza'ah, killing a few of them. The Meccans helped the Banu Bakr with weapons and, according to some sources, a few Meccans also took part in the fighting. After this event, Muhammad sent a message to Mecca with three conditions, asking them to accept one of them. These were: either the Meccans would pay [[Blood money (restitution)|blood money]] for the slain among the Khuza'ah tribe, they disavow themselves of the Banu Bakr, or they should declare the truce of Hudaybiyyah null.<ref name="Khan 1998, pp. 274β275">Khan 1998, pp. 274β275.</ref><ref>Lings 1987, p. 291.</ref> The Meccans replied that they accepted the last condition.<ref name="Khan 1998, pp. 274β275"/> Soon they realized their mistake and sent [[Abu Sufyan]] to renew the Hudaybiyyah treaty, a request that was declined by Muhammad.
