The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah included a condition that obligated the Prophet (peace be upon him) to return to Quraysh anyone who came to him as a Muslim from Mecca. The Prophet (peace be upon him) agreed to this condition, knowing that Allah would provide relief and a way out for these Muslims. This condition led to a group of Muslims leaving Mecca who did not join the Prophet (peace be upon him). Instead, they formed a military force that intercepted Quraysh's trade caravans, which compelled Quraysh to request the annulment of this condition.
