Sahih al-Bukhari 3184
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform the `Umra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking their 
permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would 
not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So `Ali bin Abi- 
Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah 
has agreed to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then 
we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, 'This is what Muhammad 
bin `Abdullah has agreed to..' " On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad bin 
`Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of 'Allah." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used not to write; so he asked `Ali 
to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that `Ali said, "By Allah I will never erase it." Allah's 
Apostle said (to `Ali), "Let me see the paper." When `Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet (ﷺ) erased 
the expression with his own hand. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had entered Mecca and three days had 
elapsed, the Meccans came to `Ali and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca." `Ali 
informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes," and then he departed.
