===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|A depiction of Muhammad (with veiled face) advancing on Mecca from [[Siyer-i Nebi]], a 16th-century [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] manuscript.

These were: either the Meccans would pay [[Blood money (term)|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.{{sfn|Khan|1998|pp=274-275}} The Meccans replied that they accepted the last condition.{{sfn|Khan|1998|pp=274-275}} Soon they realized their mistake and sent [[Abu Sufyan]] to renew the Hudaybiyyah treaty, a request that was declined by Muhammad.
