Securing His Father’s Amnesty
At the conquest of Makkah, his father Suhayl ibn Amr locked himself in his house, fearing for his life. He sent his son Abdullah to the Prophet ﷺ. “O Messenger of Allah! Will you grant amnesty to my father?” — “Certainly,” the Prophet ﷺ replied, “he has the protection of Allah. He may leave the house.” When Abdullah reported the Prophet’s ﷺ words to his father, Suhayl said: “By Allah! He is an excellent person in youth and in old age.” 1 Hayatus Sahaba · Vol 1 · pp. 193 — Kandhlawi — Abdullah ibn Suhayl secures the Prophet's ﷺ amnesty for his father Suhayl ibn Amr.
