Prophet Muhammad The Good Husband

Prophet Muhammad personifies the roles of perfect father and husband. He was so kind and tolerant with his wives that they could not envisage their lives without him, nor did they want to live away from him. The Prophet did consult with his wives. The Messenger discussed matters with his wives as friends. For example, the conditions laid down in the Treaty of Hudaybiyah disappointed and enraged many Muslims, for one condition stipulated that they not make the pilgrimage that year. They wanted to reject the treaty, continue on to Makkah, and face the possible consequence. But the Messenger ordered them to slaughter their sacrificial animals and take off their pilgrim attire. Some Companions doubtful, hoping that he would change his mind. He repeated his order, but they continued to doubtful. They did not oppose him, rather, they still hope he might change his mind, for they had set out with the intention of pilgrimage and did not want to stop half way.
