May Allah preserve him.

The Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Entry into Makkah—May Allah Honor It.
0:36
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered Makkah—may Allah honor it—
0:43
From Kada', which is in upper Makkah.
0:47
It was a momentous, historic day.
0:50
Before him (peace be upon him) were his Companions from the Emigrants (Muhajirun) and the Ansar, may Allah be pleased with them,
0:57
While he rode his she-camel, wearing a helmet upon his head.
1:01
His head was almost touching the front of his saddle
1:05
Out of sheer humility before his Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He,
1:08
While reciting Surah al-Fath, vibrating his voice with melodic repetition.
1:13
He performed the arrival circumambulation (Tawaf al-Qudum) around the House,
1:16
But he did not perform sa'y, nor was he performing 'umrah.
1:19
The two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their two Sahihs
1:22
From 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:
1:25
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered Makkah in the Year of the Conquest from Kada', in upper Makkah."
1:32
And the two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs
1:36
From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:40
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered Makkah on the Day of the Conquest wearing an iron helmet upon his head."
1:47
In another wording in Sahih Muslim,
1:50
From Jabir ibn 'Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
1:55
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah
2:00
Wearing a black turban."
2:03
Al-Qadi 'Iyad said:
2:05
"The way to reconcile between the two narrations
2:07
Is that upon his initial entry, he had a helmet on his head,
2:11
And subsequently, a turban was upon his head
2:15
After removing the helmet.
2:17
The evidence for this is the narration stating:
2:19
'He addressed the people wearing a black turban,'
2:23
Because the sermon was delivered only at the door of the Ka'bah after the conquest of Makkah had been fully accomplished."
2:29
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak with a weak chain of transmission,
2:32
Which has corroborating evidence that strengthens it,
2:35
From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:39
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered Makkah on the Day of the Conquest
2:44
With his chin resting on his saddle out of sheer submissiveness."
2:48
The two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs
2:51
From 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:55
"I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the Day of the Conquest of Makkah upon his she-camel,
3:01
Reciting Surah al-Fath with a vibrating, melodic tone."
3:13
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih
3:16
From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
3:19
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) advanced
3:23
Until he reached the Stone [the Black Stone],
3:26
Touched it, and then circumambulated the House.
3:29
He then came upon an idol beside the House that they used to worship,
3:34
And in the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was a bow,
3:38
While he held the curved end of the bow—
3:41
That is, the bend at either tip of the bow.
3:44
When he approached the idol,
3:47
He began poking it in the eye, saying:
3:50
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)
3:54
When he completed his circumambulation,
3:57
He went to al-Safa and ascended it
4:00
Until he looked at the House,
4:02
And he raised his hands, beginning to praise Allah
4:05
And supplicating with whatever he wished to supplicate."
4:08
Imam al-Nawawi said:
4:11
"In this hadith,
4:12
It shows that one should begin with circumambulation upon first entering Makkah,
4:16
Whether in a state of ihram for hajj or 'umrah,
4:19
Or not in a state of ihram.
4:21
The Prophet (peace be upon him)
4:24
Entered it on this day—
4:26
Namely, the Day of the Conquest—
4:28
Without being in ihram, by consensus of the Muslims.
4:31
And he had a helmet upon his head;
4:34
The hadiths consistently corroborate that,
4:37
And scholarly consensus is firmly established upon it."
4:40
And the two Shaykhs narrated in their two Sahihs
4:43
From 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
4:47
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered
4:50
On that Day of the Conquest,
4:52
While around the House were three hundred and sixty idols.
4:56
He began striking them with a stick in his hand, saying:
5:00
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)
5:03
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)
5:07
'The truth has come, and falsehood can neither originate nor repeat anything.'"
5:15
The Prophet's Entry (peace be upon him)
5:19
Into the Ka'bah.
5:22
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called
5:26
For the key of the Ka'bah
5:28
From its keeper, 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him.
5:32
He then entered the House
5:34
And ordered that the images inside it be obliterated.
5:36
On that day, Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, called the adhan
5:39
From atop the roof of the Ka'bah.
5:41
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) returned
5:44
The key to 'Uthman ibn Talhah, may Allah be pleased with him,
5:48
And confirmed his family's custodianship over it.
5:51
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
5:55
From Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
5:58
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived in the Year of the Conquest
6:02
Riding al-Qaswa' with Usamah seated behind him,
6:06
Accompanied by Bilal and 'Uthman ibn Talhah,
6:09
Until he made his camel kneel beside the House.
6:12
He then said to 'Uthman:
6:14
'Bring us the key.'
6:16
So he brought the key
6:18
And unlocked the door for him.
6:20
The Prophet (peace be upon him) entered
6:23
Along with Usamah, Bilal, and 'Uthman,
6:26
And they closed the door behind them.
6:29
He remained inside for a long part of the day,
6:31
Then he came out.
6:33
The people rushed to enter,
6:35
But I outpaced them
6:37
And found Bilal standing behind the door.
6:41
I asked him:
6:43
'Where did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pray?'
6:46
He replied:
6:48
'He prayed between those two front pillars.'
6:52
The House stood upon six pillars arranged in two rows;
6:56
He prayed between the two pillars of the front row,
7:00
Keeping the door of the House behind his back,
7:03
Facing the wall facing you as you enter the House, between himself and that wall."
7:10
Ibn 'Umar said:
7:11
"And I forgot to ask him how many units of prayer he performed."
7:15
Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih
7:18
From Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
7:21
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in the Year of the Conquest
7:26
Upon a she-camel belonging to Usamah ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them both,
7:31
Until he made it kneel in the courtyard of the Ka'bah.
7:34
He then summoned 'Uthman ibn Talhah
7:37
And said:
7:38
'Bring me the key.'
7:40
So he went to his mother,
7:43
But she refused to give it to him.
7:45
He said to her:
7:47
'By Allah, you will certainly give it to me,
7:49
Or else this sword will surely pierce straight through my spine!'
7:52
He said:
7:53
So she gave it to him,
7:55
And he brought it to the Prophet (peace be upon him),
7:59
Handed it over to him,
8:01
And the door was opened."
8:03
Ibn Majah narrated in his Sunan and Abu Dawud in his Sunan with a good chain of transmission—
8:08
And the wording is that of Ibn Majah—
8:11
From Safiyyah bint Shaybah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:
8:15
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was settled in the Year of the Conquest,
8:20
He circumambulated atop a camel,
8:22
Touching the corner with a hooked staff in his hand.
8:25
He then entered the Ka'bah
8:27
And found inside it a dove made of wood,
8:30
So he broke it,
8:32
Then stood at the door of the Ka'bah and threw it out,
8:35
While I was watching."
8:37
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
8:40
From Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
8:44
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived in Makkah,
8:49
He refused to enter the House while idols were inside it.
8:53
So he ordered them to be removed, and they were taken out.
8:56
They brought out an image of Ibrahim and Isma'il holding divining arrows in their hands,
9:01
Whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
9:05
'May Allah destroy them!
9:07
They well knew that neither of them ever sought divination by arrows.'
9:10
Then he entered the House."
9:13
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and Abu Dawud with an authentic chain of transmission
9:18
From Jabir ibn 'Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
9:22
"The Prophet (peace be upon him)
9:25
Ordered 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, at the time of the Conquest while he was at al-Batha',
9:31
To go to the Ka'bah and efface every image inside it.
9:35
The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not enter it
9:39
Until every image inside it was completely effaced."
9:42
Al-Hafiz [Ibn Hajar] said in Fath al-Bari:
9:46
"What appears evident is that he wiped away the images that were painted, for instance,
9:52
And removed those that were carved figures.
9:55
As for the hadith of Usamah, may Allah be pleased with him,
9:58
Stating that the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered the Ka'bah,
10:02
Saw an image of Ibrahim,
10:04
Called for water, and began effacing it himself—
10:08
It is understood to mean that some remnant had remained
10:12
That escaped the notice of whoever had initially effaced the images."

10:21
Though the longing of mortals for one another may endure,
10:27
The yearning for you extends beyond all measure.
10:34
May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised,
10:40
And whenever lips move in praise of the Everlasting.
