MCQ Detailed View

The pledge known as Bait-e-Rizwan was made under a tree near Hudaybiyyah when a rumor spread that Hazrat Usman ibn Affan (R.A) had been killed by the Quraysh in Makkah. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) had sent Hazrat Usman (R.A) as his envoy to negotiate with the Quraysh regarding the Muslims' peaceful intent to perform Umrah.

When news reached the Muslims that Hazrat Usman (R.A) might have been martyred, the Prophet (ﷺ) gathered the companions and took a solemn pledge from them — the Bait-e-Rizwan — to fight until death to avenge Usman's (R.A) honor if necessary. Over 1,400 Sahabah gave their allegiance under a tree, demonstrating their readiness for sacrifice and loyalty to the Prophet (ﷺ).

This event is mentioned in Surah Al-Fath (48:18), where Allah declares His pleasure with those who gave the pledge under the tree. The rumor was later proven false, and soon after, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was signed, which turned out to be a turning point in the spread of Islam.
