عِنْدَمَا أَوْشَكَ الْقِتَالُ أَنْ يَنْشَبَ فِي حَرَمٍ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَالْتَفَّتْ عَوَامِلُ الِاسْتِفْزَازِ بِالنَّبِيِّ وَصَحْبِهِ، وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ يُرِيدُونَ الْعُمْرَةَ كَظَمَ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى مَا أَحَسَّ بِهِ مِنْ حُزْنٍ، وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا الرِّيبَةَ وَالْهَمَّ وَأَنْ يَقْبَلُوا مُعَاهَدَةً تَصُونُ الدِّمَاءَ وَتَنْشُرُ الْأَمَانَ عَلَى مَا بِهَا مِنْ قُيُودٍ تُعْنِتُهُمْ.

When fighting was about to break out in the sanctuary between the Muslims and the polytheists, and the factors of provocation surrounded the Prophet and his companions, while they were at Hudaybiyyah wanting to perform the Umrah, the Prophet suppressed the sadness he felt and ordered his companions to cast away doubt and worry and to accept a treaty that protects blood and spreads safety despite the restrictions in it that burden them.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ: ﴿إِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَلْزَمَهُمْ كَلِمَةَ التَّقْوَى وَكَانُوا أَحَقَّ بِهَا وَأَهْلَهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا﴾.

When those who disbelieved had put into their hearts chauvinism - the chauvinism of the time of ignorance. But Allah sent down His tranquillity upon His Messenger and upon the believers and imposed upon them the word of righteousness, and they were more deserving of it and worthy of it. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing.

وَكَلِمَةُ السَّكِينَةِ هَذِهِ تَكَرَّرَتْ فِي مَوَاضِعَ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَهِيَ حَيْثُمَا وُجِدَتْ تُشِيرُ إِلَى مَا يَبُثُّهُ الْإِيمَانُ فِي النُّفُوسِ مِنْ طُمَأْنِينَةٍ مَرْجِعُهَا الْأُنْسُ بِاللَّهِ، وَالرُّكُونُ إِلَى قَضَائِهِ، وَالِاسْتِظْهَارُ بِعَوْنِهِ كُلَّمَا رَابَ أَمْرٌ، أَوْ أَظْلَمَ أُفُقٌ.

This word 'tranquility' has been repeated in many places, and wherever it is found, it points to the reassurance that faith broadcasts into the souls, whose reference is intimacy with Allah, reliance on His decree, and seeking support through His aid whenever a matter causes doubt or a horizon darkens.
