Peace kchughtai

What do the hadith say? What has Islamic history done? How is it all contextualised? We cannot ignore the scriptures.

yes sunnah of the prophet (pbuh), his hadith are important.

here is the hadith you quoted

Jabir ibn `Abdullah narrated that a Bedouin pledged allegiance to Muhammad for Islam (i.e. accepted Islam) and then the Bedouin got fever whereupon he said to Muhammad “cancel my pledge.” But Muhammad refused. He (the Bedouin) came to him (again) saying, “Cancel my pledge.” But Muhammad refused. Then he (the Bedouin) left (Medina). Muhammad said, “Madinah is like a pair of bellows (furnace): it expels its impurities and brightens and clear its good.”

According to the hadith,

1. the apostate didn’t fear asking to the prophet (pbuh) about the pledge.why? He could have secretly flee.
2. Although prophet(pbuh) showed his displeasure through silence but he didn’t force him in any way and let him go
3. Further, the Holy Prophet appears to have been pleased that the man had departed from Medina. The observation that the Holy Prophet made is an indication that the Holy Prophet considered the man 's departure from Medina a good riddance, as his continued presence in Medina would not have been desirable.

Huddaibiyya Treaty:

Bokhari has related, on the authority of Braa bin Aazib, that in the treaty of Hudaibiyyah, the Holy Prophet, peace be on him, agreed with the pagans of Mecca that if anyone of them became a Muslim and came to Medina, he would be returned to the Meccans, but that if a Muslim departed from Medina and joined the Meccans, they would not be under obligation to return him to the Holy Prophet (Bokhari, Egyptians edition, Vol. II, p. 76).
