Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Role of Aisha in the History of Islam (volume 3) Hind in the Battle of Uhud When I ripped open the belly of Hamzah and pulled out his liver! Hind Hulays was the son of 'Alqamah ibn 'Amr ibn al-Arqam al-Kinani. al-Ahabish are the members of the two tribes of Banu al-Mustalaq and Banu al-Hawn that at the Habashi mountain made a pact of assistance with the Quraysh and because of the name of that mountain they were called al-Ahabish.
Refer to Jamharat ansab al-'Arab 177 onward, and 'Uyun al-athar 1/25 for information bout al-Ahabish and their connection with the Quraysh. 37. Sirah of Ibn Hisham 3/608-609, and at-Tabari 2/527 published by Dar al-ma'arif and Ibn al- Athir 2/111. at-Tabari 2/526, and Ansab al-ashraf 1/327, and al-Maghazi 1/296-297, and Tabaqat al-kubra 2/48. Hind, like her husband, had a great role in the battle of Uhud. She had much influence in inciting this war and constantly fanning up the flame of war.
She even brought a number of Quraysh women with her to the field of battle in order to boost up the Arab ardor of the Quraysh, thereby, bring about the attainment of victory. And as we saw, when the combat ended, she pulled out the liver of that valiant warrior of Islam, Hamzah, by ripping open his side, and wanted to eat it. Her epic words about this war show her old and biting rancor.
We have already mentioned examples of her epical verses and there are some more: "In Uhud I soothed the pain of my heart And felt tranquil and free from the pains, Which the action of Hamzah had caused, When I ripped open his belly And pulled out his liver. This quenched the pain that lived with me, And the intense injury which burnt me with its fire.
The war; like a hailstorm, poured its fire on you, And we rushed upon you like roaring lions." After the battle, one of the Muslims said to Hassan ibn Thabit, a great Ansar poet39: "I wish you could have heard Hind, standing on a rock and, reciting a bravado verse in which she spoke of her crimes towards the martyr of God's way, Hamzah, in a boastful tone." Hassan asked: "Can you repeat her words?
