QuizTime (86): Who chewed the liver of Hamzah bin ‘Abd-Al-Muttalib(r.a) ?

 

Ans: Hind bint ‘Utbah(R.A)(May Allah please with her)

 

It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, about the events of the Battle of Uhud, as cited by Imaam Ahmad and others. It says, "They looked and, behold, Hamzah's belly was cut open, and Hind had taken his liver and chewed it but could not eat it." Note: Hadith authenticity is questionable.

 The woman was Hind bint ‘Utbah, who later embraced Islam and became a righteous Muslim woman. She, may Allah be pleased with her, made the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and earned the pleasure of her Lord.

 The reason for her actions was narrated in the book Dalaa'il An-Nubuwwah by Al-Bayhaqi; she had made a vow to eat his liver when he killed her father in the Battle of Badr.

 In general, the authenticity of the story of Hind eating the liver of Hamzah is questionable. Even if it is assumed that the story is authentic, she (Hind) later embraced Islam and became a good and righteous Muslim; verily, Islam wipes out all past sins committed before it, as stated in the authentic hadeeth that was cited in Saheeh Muslim.

 “Wahshi”(r.a).  “Hamzah, may Allah be pleased with him, had killed Tu‘aymah bin ‘Adiyy bin Al-Khiyaar at the Battle of Badr, so my master, Jubayr bin Mut‘im said to me, “If you kill Hamzah in revenge for my paternal uncle, you will be set free.” 

 There are many people blame directly to “Hind bint ‘Utbah(R.A)” for killing for  Hamzah(R.a) which is incorrect.

Lesson:

 The once vicious enemies of Islam, Abu Sufyan (ra) and Hind (ra) began to work to promote it . The lady who used to sing fierce poetry for the opponents of the Prophet (sa), now recited Quranic verses to keep the morale of Muslim soldiers high. Such is the fruit of guidance!She was present at the Battle of Yarmuk, and narrated several ahadeeth that were recorded and authenticated in various books of ahadeeth.

 At one point, when arrows started raining down on Abu Sufyan and he tried to turn his horse away, Hind struck his horse in the face with a tent-peg and said: “Where do you think you’re going, O Sakhr? Go back to battle and put effort into it until you compensate for having incited people in the past against Muhammad.”(pbuh) An arrow later hit Abu Sufyan in the eye and he became blind.

 Her transformation a true inspiration for all of us.

 Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."[Al-Qur’an ch 39 Verse 53]

 

 Allah knows the best.
