The mother of the Believers, Umm Salamah (R.A), was endowed with sound opinions and an intelligent mind, which were of great use on the Day of Al-Hudaibiyah. When the Prophet (pbuh) completed the affair of the agreement at Al-Hudaibiyah, He (pbuh) said to his Companions, "Stand, Slaughter (your sacrifice), and then shave your heads." Not a single person among them stood up, not even after the Prophet (pbuh) repeated His command three times.
.
Then The Prophet (pbuh) entered upon Umm Salamah (R.A) and mentioned to her the treatment he received from the people. The Prophet (pbuh) said, "The people have become destroyed."
She said, "O Prophet of Allah, Do you want that? Go out, then speak not a single word to anyone from them, until you slaughter your sacrifice and then call your barber to shave your head."
.
The Prophet (pbuh) went out, speak to no one from them, until he performed both of those actions - He (pbuh) slaughtered his sacrifice and called His barber to shave his head. When the people saw that, they stood and slaughtered their sacrifices. Then they began to shave one another's heads - they were so saddened for having first disobeyed the Prophet (pbuh) that they almost hurt one another while shaving each other. That was a most sound opinion that Allah inspired to Umm Salamah (R.A), and as a result, the problem was resolved and the Muslim Army was saved after having at first gone against the commands of the Prophet (pbuh).
