Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) part 29 :

A) The Prophet (ﷺ) protects the Christians of Madina :

It was about this time that the Prophet (ﷺ) granted to the monks of the Monastry of St. Catherine,near Mount Sinai, his liberal charter by which they secured for the Christians noble and generous privileges and freedom. He(ﷺ) undertook himself and enjoined his followers, to protect the Christians, to defend their churches and the residences of their priests and to guard them from all injuries. They were not to be unfairly taxed; no bishop(senior member) was to be driven out of his diocese(church); nor Christian was to be forced to reject his religion; no monk was to be expelled from his Monastry; no pilgrim was to be stopped from his pilgrimage; nor were the Christian churches to be pulled down for the sake of building mosques or houses for the Muslims. Christian women married to Muslims were to enjoy their own religion and not to be subjected to compulsion or annoyance of any kind. If the Christians should stand in need of assistance for the repair of their churches or monasteries, or any other matter pertaining to their religion, the Muslims were to assist them.

This was not to be considered as supporting their religion, but as simply rendering them assistance in special circumstances. Should the Muslims be engaged in hostilities with outside Christians, no
Christian resident among the Muslims should be treated with disrespect on account of his creed.The Prophet(ﷺ) declared that any Muslim violating any clause of the charter should be regarded as a transgressor of Allah's commandments, a violator of His testament and neglectful of His faith.

B) The Treaty of Hudaibiya :

Six years had already elapsed since the Prophet(ﷺ) and his Meccan followers had fled from their birthplace. Their hearts began to yearn for their homes and for their Sacred House the Ka'ba. As the season of the pilgrimage approached, the Prophet(ﷺ) announced his intention to visit the holy center, and numerous voices of his disciples responded to the call. Preparations were soon made for the journey to Mecca. The Prophet(ﷺ), accompanied by seven or eight hundred Muslims,Emigrants and Ansars, all totally unarmed, set out on the pilgrimage. The Quraish, who were still full of animosity towards the Muslims, gathered a large army to prevent them from entering Mecca and maltreated the representative whom the Prophet(ﷺ) had sent to ask permission to visit the holy places. After much difficulty, a treaty was concluded by which it was agreed that all hostilities should cease for ten years; that anyone coming from the Quraish to the Prophet(ﷺ) without the permission of the guardian or chief should be given back to the idolaters; that any Muslim persons going over to the Meccans should not be surrendered; that any tribe desirous of entering into alliance, either with the Quraish or with the Muslims, should be at liberty to do so without disputes; that the Muslims should go back to Medina on the present occasion and stop advancing further; that they should be permitted in the following year to visit Mecca and to remain there for three days with the arms they used on journeys, namely, their scimitars(swords) in sheaths.The Treaty of Hudaibiya thus ended, the Prophet(ﷺ) returned with his people to Medina.

In sha Allah, will be continued. {Ref : Stories of prophets by Ibn Kathir(rahimahullah)}
