Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri one of the greatest scholars of the Successors, comments, "There was no greater victory given to Islam before Hudaybiyyah that was bigger than Hudaybiyyah. Not a single intelligent person heard about Islam except that he accepted it. Within two years of Hu-daybiyyah, the number of Muslims doubled, or more." Ibn Hisham comments on al-Zuhrī's statement, adding, "There were 1,400 people in the Pledge of Divine Acceptance, and two years later in the Conquest of Mecca, there were 10,000 people." The whole saga provides invaluable insight and timeless guidance into topics of compromise, foresight, patience, and tawakkul.
