In 7th A.H, Holy Prophet along with two thousand followers went to
Makka to performed Umra. Since all the Muslims were going for the sake of
pilgrimage of Ka'aba, they did not have any weapon except their swords. In
those days sword was not considered an arm rather it was one of the articles of
wearing apparel for Arabs.
When the Muslims entered Makka, people of Quraish fearing an attack
from Muslims went to nearby hills. Before entering into the city, Holy Prophet
assigned the duty of watching over to a cavalry regiment of one hundred Muslims
and told them that if the Quraisah would attack them, they should come to
rescue them otherwise they were to stay there till their return. Mohammad Bin
Muslma was appointed the captain of the regiment and stationed at a place in
the suburbs of Makka known as Mara-al-Zuhran.
The infidels were watching over the scene of Muslims entering the
city from the hills. They were amazed to see the obedience and respect of the
followers of Holy Prophet for their leader and disciple with which they were
performing the rites of pilgrimage. When the rites of pilgrimage were over, in
order to strengthen the ties with Quraish, Holy Prophet married Memona Bint
Haras a lady from a respectable family of Quraish. On this occasion Holy
Prophet on the third day of his stay in the city, announced a banquet to
celebrate his wedding.
When Quraish had the news of the banquet by the Holy Prophet a
delegation came to Holy Prophet and said, "According to the agreement you
could have stayed in the city for three days and today is the third day so you
better be getting out." Honoring the agreement Holy Prophet cancelled the
banquet and left Medina.
