Quick fact: Hazrat Salma (RA) gave her pivotal advice to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) on the occasion of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

Explanation

When the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his companions were stopped at Hudaybiyyah and the treaty terms seemed unfavorable, the companions were reluctant to comply with the Prophet's instruction to sacrifice their animals and shave their heads. Hazrat Umm Salma (RA), one of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH), wisely advised him to go out, perform the sacrifice himself, and shave his head without speaking to anyone. The Prophet (PBUH) followed her counsel, and upon seeing this, the companions immediately followed suit, resolving the tense situation.

Good to know

Hazrat Umm Salma (RA), whose name was Hind bint Abi Umayya, was known for her wisdom, intelligence, and sound judgment. She was among the early converts to Islam and had migrated to Abyssinia with her first husband before marrying the Prophet (PBUH). Her advice at Hudaybiyyah is frequently cited by scholars as an example of the Prophet's (PBUH) consultative approach and the respected role of women in Islamic decision-making. She narrated numerous hadith and was one of the last wives of the Prophet (PBUH) to pass away.
