Nineteen Days at al-Hujun

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explains:

The Prophet ﷺ stayed in Mecca nineteen days (per al-Bukhārī). Asked where he would live, ʿAlī said, "Will you not return to our house?", Abū Ṭālib's house, where they had both grown up. But the Prophet ﷺ answered, "And did ʿAqīl leave us any house to live in?" Abū Ṭālib had died a pagan; of his sons only ʿAlī and Jaʿfar were Muslim, and since الْمُسْلِمُ لَا يَرِثُ الْكَافِر, "a Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever", the house had passed to Ṭālib and ʿAqīl, and ʿAqīl (who accepted Islam at the Conquest) had sold it all. A lawful sale the Prophet ﷺ would not overturn.

So the conqueror of Mecca had no house in it, and pitched a tent at al-Ḥujūn, the little valley, minutes from the Kaʿbah, where Quraysh had once gathered to sign the boycott document against Banū Hāshim, the lowest of their deeds. Now he camped there as the undisputed lord of the city: at the very place of their worst atrocity, Allāh gave him the highest honour.
