The Holy Quran 48:18 — Surah Al-Fath

Arabic text

۞ لَّقَدْ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَنزَلَ ٱلسَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَثَـٰبَهُمْ فَتْحًا قَرِيبًا

Translation

Allaah was well pleased with the Mu'mineen (the Sahabah رضى الله تعالى عنهم) when they pledged their allegiance (Bait-e-Ridwaan) to you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) beneath the tree (at Hudaybiyyah). Allaah knew what was in their hearts, sent tranquillity to them (causing them to accept Allaah's commands without hesitation) and rewarded them with a victory close at hand (when they conquered Khaybar soon after signing the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah)...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Pledge of Ridwan: that was an acacia tree at Hudaybiyyah. Probably it is precisely because of the words لَقَدْ رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ “Allah was well pleased…” etc. that this pledge is called “Bay’at ar-Ridwan” (the Pledge of Good Pleasure). The detailed story of it has already passed at the beginning of the surah.
