Treaty with Jews and Non-Muslims in Medina
The Meccan chiefs were going to kill Prophet Muhammad when he was asleep, so he decided to migrate to Medina. During his migration, the Muslims signed a treaty with the non-muslims and Jews.

They both desperately needed a leader that could bring peace to both communities. -
