Umm Salamah may Allah be pleased with her is Mother of the Believers Hind bint Abi Umayyah ibn al-Mughira al-Makhzumiyyah al-Qurayshiyyah, and she is known by her kunya Umm Salamah. She was among those who embraced Islam early, and she migrated with her first husband Abu Salamah Abdullah ibn Abd al-Asad may Allah be pleased with him, so she was among the women who experienced the hardship of the Hijrah and steadfastness in religion. After Abu Salamah died from the effects of his wounds, the Prophet ﷺ married her, and she became one of the Mothers of the Believers. Umm Salamah was known for sound judgment, strong opinion, and broad knowledge. One of her most famous moments was on the day of Hudaybiyyah, when she advised the Prophet ﷺ to go out to the people, slaughter his sacrifice, and shave his head without speaking to them. Her view was the reason the Companions moved from hesitation to compliance. She also narrated many hadiths from the Prophet ﷺ, and remained a scholarly and jurisprudential reference for the Companions and the Tabi'un. She died in Madinah and was buried in al-Baqi. Her life is a model of the believing, wise woman who combined Hijrah, patience, knowledge, and good counsel.
