The Conquest of Makkah stands as the greatest example of mercy in victory. After 21 years of persecution, the Prophet entered Makkah with an army of 10,000 men. The Quraysh, who had caused him unimaginable suffering, stood helpless before him. Standing at the Kaaba, the Prophet asked the Quraysh: "O people of Quraysh! What do you think I will do with you?" They replied: "You are a noble brother and the son of a noble brother." The Prophet said: "I say to you what Yusuf said to his brothers: 'No blame will there be upon you today. Allah will forgive you, and He is the most merciful of the merciful.' Go, for you are all free." Even specific enemies who had committed terrible crimes received mercy. Wahshi, who had killed the Prophet's beloved uncle Hamza and mutilated his body, came before the Prophet terrified. The Prophet forgave him. During the Battle of Uhud, when the Prophet himself was injured, companions asked him to curse the enemy. Instead, he raised his hands and said: "O Allah, forgive my people, for they do not know."
