Conquest of Mecca
Those who survived the attack went to Madinah and informed Rasulu Allah (saws) of what happened. Rasulu Allah (saws) was disturbed by the news. He sent a messenger to Quraish to investigate the matter and to remind Quraish with terms of the peace agreement. However, Quraish disrespected the messenger and informed him that they did not recognize the agreement.

When Rasulu Allah (saws) learned about Quraish's decision of ending the peace agreement, he prepared an army to respond to Quraish. Later, Quraish regretted their decision. They sent Abu Sufyan to Madinah to renew the peace agreement.
Abu Sufyan arrived at Madinah, but it was a little too late. He tried to talk to Rasulu Allah (saws) but Rasulu Allah (saws) refused to reply to him. Abu Sufyan then went to Ummu Habibah, his daughter, who was the wife of Rasulu Allah (saws). He asked her to intercede with Rasulu Allah (saws) but he received a very cold response. After he failed in talking to Ummu Habibah, he tried to convince Abu Bakr, but he failed too. Abu Sufyan disparately sought the help of Umar, but Umar turned him down. He went to Ali bin Abi Taleb, but Ali did not listen to him. Finally, he tried his luck with Fatimah the daughter of Rasulu Allah. Again he did not succeed. After he had tried every possibility, he gave up and went back to Mecca.
