Quick fact: Umm-e-Salma's (R.A) wise advice was pivotal during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, when the Prophet (PBUH) accepted her counsel to calmly perform the sacrificial rites himself, prompting the Companions to follow.

Explanation

The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (6 AH) was a critical moment when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Companions were barred from performing Umrah. After the treaty was signed, the Companions were disheartened and hesitated to shave their heads and sacrifice animals as instructed. Umm-e-Salma (R.A), one of the Prophet's wives accompanying him, advised him to go out and perform the rites himself without speaking a word to anyone. The Prophet (PBUH) followed her counsel, and upon seeing him do so, the Companions immediately followed suit, demonstrating the wisdom and foresight of Umm-e-Salma (R.A).

Good to know

Umm-e-Salma (R.A), whose full name was Hind bint Abi Umayya, was among the most knowledgeable and wise wives of the Prophet (PBUH). She was one of the early migrants to Abyssinia and later to Madina. Her counsel at Hudaybiyyah is frequently cited as an example of the Prophet's (PBUH) consultation with his wives and the value he placed on their opinions in critical matters.
