state. On the other Hand treaty of Hudaybiyyah (628AD/ 6 AH) was also a big challenge for Prophet 
Muhammad (PUBH) for resolving issues and peace settlement. Quraish tribe and Muslims agreed for ten years 
to affirm peace between two cities Makkah and Madina. This treaty helped to decrease tension and in the 
following years peaceful pilgrimage. Hazrat Uthman (R.A) was the negotiator for this treaty. In his absence

formally allied tribes with Quraish. Thus with the technique of better relations with enemies Prophet (PBUH)
