Suhayl ibn Amr quotes

Suhayl ibn Amr was a prominent Arab orator and leader of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca during the time of Prophet Muhammad. He played a key role in negotiations between the Quraysh and the Muslim community, notably at the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. He later embraced Islam and became a respected companion of Muhammad. Here are 3 of his quotes:

Stop it. If I accepted you as the Messenger of Allah I would not have been hostile to you. You should write only your name and the name of your father.
