When the Christian defenders realized defeat was imminent, they (led by Balian of Ibelin) petitioned Saladin to spare the inhabitants of the city. After lengthy negotiations, in which the Christians promised to destroy every Islamic holy site in Jerusalem and the Muslims threatened to enslave most of the Christians, Saladin eventually acceded to a demand for clemency to the local population provided that the Crusaders completely surrender and leave Islamic holy sites in peace.
