Q
How did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) demonstrate flexibility and wisdom during the negotiation of the Hudaibiya treaty?
A
When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) concluded a peace treaty with the people of Hudaibiya, `Ali bin Abu Talib
wrote the document and he mentioned in it, “Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .” The pagans said, “Don’t
write: ‘Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)’, for if you were an apostle we would not fight with you.” Allah’s
Apostle asked `Ali to rub it out, but `Ali said, “I will not be the person to rub it out.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
rubbed it out and made peace with them on the condition that the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions would
enter Mecca and stay there for three days, and that they would enter with their weapons in cases.
