A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'/Chapter 2/15

[Sidenote: 15. Violation of the treaty by the Koreish, and their submission.]

The peace remained unbroken until the Koreish violated the treaty of Hodeibia and treacherously killed several men of the Bani Khozaá. Mohammad marched against them in the eighth year of the Hegira in defence of the injured and oppressed Bani Khozaá, and to chastize the Koreish for violation of the treaty. But the Koreish submitted to the authority of Mohammad before he arrived at Mecca, and the city was occupied without resistance.
