In this video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi covers the Hajj of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, who was joined by Ali Ibn Abi Talib, in the 9th year of Hijrah. This was the only Hajj performed by both Muslims and Pagans side by side.

Shaykh Yasir also clarifies common misunderstandings of the famous "Verse of Sword" (Surat At-Tawbah, Verse 5) and provides the correct explanation of these verses in proper context and theme.

In summary:

1) Pagans (Idol worshippers) were given 4 months to travel freely and leave if they desired, or accept Islam

2) Verse 6 says if Pagans seek Muslim protection, it must be given, Islam should be explained to them and they must be taken to a safe place

3) Not one person was killed/executed as a result of these verses

4) Meant to threaten Pagans (ie, stay where you are and accept Islam or leave)

5) This message was only for Pagans (Idol worshippers) and not Jews and Christians
