[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ consulted the people on the day of Uhud and said, "I saw in a dream that I was wearing a fortified shield and a cow was being slaughtered and sold. I interpreted the shield as Medina, and the cow as a group of people. By Allah, it is better if you fight them in the outskirts of the city, so that the women throw stones at them from above the walls." They said, "They will enter the city as no one has ever entered before, but we will go out to fight them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then may it be as you wish." They regretted their decision and said, "We revoke our opinion and adhere to the Prophet's ﷺ advice." So they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion?" He replied, "It is not fitting for a Prophet to wear armor for his people and then take it off until he fights."  

اسْتَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي لَفِي دِرْعٍ حَصِينَةٍ وَكَأَنَّ بَقَرًا تُنْحَرُ وَتُبَاعُ فَفَسَّرْتُ الدِّرْعَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبَقَرَ نَفَرًا وَاللهُ خَيْرٌ فَلَوْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُمْ فِي السِّكَكِ فَرَمَاهُمُ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْحِيطَانِ» قَالُوا فَيَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مَا دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا قَطُّ وَلَكِنْ نُخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ «فَشَأْنُكُمْ إِذًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ نَدِمُوا فَقَالُوا رَدَدْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْيَهُ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأْيُكَ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ لَأْمَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَضَعُهَا حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ
