A condition of the Treaty of Hudaibiyah, initially perceived as unfair by some companions, stipulated that if a Quraish person embraced Islam and came to Medina, they would be:

A) A. Welcomed and protected by the Muslims
B) B. Returned to Makkah without question
C) C. Given asylum in a third neutral city
D) D. Required to pay a large ransom for their freedom

Explanation

One of the conditions of the Treaty of Hudaibiyah was that if anyone from the Quraish came to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a Muslim, he would return them to the Quraish. However, if a Muslim went to the Quraish, they would not be returned. This condition initially caused distress among some companions but ultimately proved beneficial for the spread of Islam.
