The proscribed persons on the day of the Conquest

The Prophet charged his commanders to fight only those who fought them, excepting a specific few he named, ordering them killed even if they clung to the curtains of the Ka'ba — for specific criminal offences such as treacherous killing or grave harm. Some were killed; others sought safe-conduct and the Prophet pardoned them ¹.

The list in Ibn Hisham's sira comprises:

1. Abdullah ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Sarh: a scribe of revelation who apostatised and fled to Mecca; he hid with his foster-brother Uthman ibn Affan, who brought him seeking safe-conduct; the Prophet pardoned him after a long silence, and he became Muslim and proved good ².
2. Abdullah ibn Khatal: apostatised, killed his Muslim servant, stole the alms and kept two singing-girls to satirise the Prophet; he was killed clinging to the Ka'ba's curtains ³.
3. al-Huwayrith ibn Nuqaydh: one who had harmed the Prophet and prodded the camel of Fatima and Umm Kulthum at the Hijra; Ali ibn Abi Talib killed him ³.
4. Miqyas ibn Subaba: killed his brother's slayer after taking the blood-money and apostatised as a polytheist; Numayla ibn Abdullah killed him in the market ³.
5. Fartana and her companion (Ibn Khatal's two singing-girls): one was killed, the other fled, was granted safety and became Muslim ³.
6. Sara, freedwoman of Banu Abd al-Muttalib: was granted safety, then died in Umar's caliphate after horses trampled her at al-Abtah ³.
7. Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl: fled to Yemen; his wife Umm Hakim bint al-Harith sought safety for him and brought him back — he became Muslim and proved good ⁴.
