Conquest of Mecca
In Sulhul Hudaibyiah, Quraish agreed not to fight against Muslims and not to support other tribes in their fighting against Muslims or their allies. The tribe of Banu Bakr allied themselves to Quraish and the tribe of Khuza'ah allied themselves with the Muslims.

In the eighth year after Hijrah, Quraish prompted the tribe of Banu Bakr to attack Khuza'ah. Quraish supported Banu Bakr by providing them with weapons, money and men. This was against the peace terms they agreed on with the Muslims.
When Banu Bakr attacked Khuza'ah, the members of Khuza'ah tribe sought refuge in the Ka'bah. It was regarded a great sin to fight in the Ka'bah. However, this did not deter Banu Bakr and Quraish from pursuing the members of Khuza'ah. Eventually, they killed twenty men from Khuza'ah inside the Ka'bah.
