 'Asim also told me that a man called Hatib b. Umayya b. Rafi', who had a son called Yazid, was grievously wounded at Uhud and was brought to his people's settlement at the point of death. His kinsmen gathered round and the men and women began to say to him, 'Good news of the garden (of paradise), a son of Hatib.' Now Hatib was an old man who had lived long in the heathen period and his hypocrisy appeared then, for he said, 'What good news do you give him? Of a garden of rue? By God, you have robbed this man of his life by your deception (and brought great sorrow on me.' Tab.)}}
-{{Quote|Ishaq:385|Hind [a Meccan woman who had lost her father, husband, son, and brother to Muhammad's raiders at Badr] stopped to mutilate the Muslim dead, cutting off their ears and noses until she was able to make anklets and necklaces of them. Then she ripped open Hamzah's body for his liver and chewed it. Then she climbed a high rock and screamed rajaz poetry at the top of her voice, taunting us. ‘We have paid you back for Badr. A war that follows a war is always violent. I could not bear the loss of Utba nor my brother, his uncle, or my first-born son. I have slaked my vengeance and fulfilled my vow.' Umar [the future leader of the Islamic world] recited these verses back to her: ‘The vile woman was insolent, and she was habitually base with disbelief. May Allah curse Hind, she with the large clitoris. …Her backside and her genitals are covered with ulcers as a result of spending too much time in the saddle. Did you set out seeking to avenge our killing of your father and your son at Badr? And for your husband, who was wounded in the backside, lying in his blood, and your brother, all of them coated in the grime of the pit. What a foul deed you committed. Woe to you Hind, the shame of the age.'}}

Salama told me that 'Amr b. al-Jamuh was a man who was very lame. He had four lion-like sons who were present at the apostle's battles. On the day of Uhud they wanted to detain him, saying that God had excused him. He came to the apostle and told him that his sons wanted to keep him back and prevent his joining the army, 'Yet by God, I hope to tread the heavenly garden despite my lameness.' The apostle said, 'God has excused you, and Jihad is not incumbent on you;' and to his sons he said, 'You need not prevent him; perhaps God Will favour him with martyrdom,' so he went along with him and was killed at Uhud.<br>
+According to what Salih b. Kaysan told me, Hind d. 'Utba and the women with her stopped to mutilate the apostle's dead companions. They cut off their ears and noses and Hind made them into anklets and collars and gave her anklets and collars and pendants to Wahshi, the slave of Jubayr b. Mut'im. She cut out Hamza's liver and chewed it, but she was not able to swallow it and threw it away. Then she mounted a high rock and shrieked at the top of her voice:
-{{Quote|Ishaq:385|Amr Jamuh was a very lame man. He had four lion-like sons who were present at the Apostle’s battles. At Uhud he came to the Prophet and told him that his sons wanted to keep him back and prevent his joining the army. ‘Yet, by Allah, I hope to tread in the Heavenly Garden of Paradise despite my lameness. The Apostle said, ‘Allah has excused you, and Jihad is not incumbent on you.’ Then Muhammad turned to his sons and said, ‘You need not prevent him.

+:We have paid you back for Badr
+:And a war that foIlows a war is always violent.
+:I could not bear the loss of 'Utba
+:Nor my brother and his uncle and my first-born.
+:I have slaked my vengeance and fulfilled my vow.
+:You, 0 Wahshi, have assuaged the burning in my breast.
+:I shall thank Wahshi as long as I live
+:Until my bones rot in the grave.<br>
+Hind d. Uthatha b. 'Abbad b. al-Muttalib answered her:
+:You were disgraced at Badr and after Badr,
+:a daughter of a despicable man, great only in disbelief.
+:God brought on you in the early dawn
+:Tall and white-skinned men from Hashim,
+:Everyone slashing with his sharp sword:
+:Hamza my lion and 'Ali my falcon.
+:When Shayba and your father planned to attack me
+:They reddened their breasts with blood.
+:Your evil vow was the worst of vows.<br>
+Hind d. 'Utba also said:
+:I slaked my vengeance on Hamza at Uhud.
+:I split his belly to get at his liver.
+:This took from me what I had felt
+:Of burning sorrow and exceeding pain.
+:War will hit you exceeding hard
+:Coming upon you as lions advance.<br>
+Salih b. Kaisan told me that he was told that 'Umar said to Hassan, 'O Ibn al-Furay'a, I wish you had heard what Bind said and seen her
+arrogance as she stood upon a rock uttering her taunts against us, reminding us of what she had done to Hamza.' Hassan replied, 'I was looking at
+the lance as it fell, while I was On the top of Fari'--meaning his fort--land I realized that it was not one of the weapons of the Arabs. It seemed to me as though it was directed at Hamza, but I was not sure. But recite me some of her verse: I will rid you of her.' So 'Umar quoted some of what she said and Hassan said:
+:The vile woman was insolent: her habits were vile;
+:Seeing that disbelief accompanied her insolence.<br>
+Al-Hulays b. Zabban, brother of the B. al-Harith b. 'Abdu Manat, who was then chief of the black troops, passed by Abu Sufyan as he was striking the side of Hamza's mouth with the point of his spear saying, 'Taste that, you rebel.' Hulays exclaimed, 'O B. Kinana, is this the chief of Quraysh acting thus with his dead cousin as you see?' He said, 'Confound you. Keep the matter quiet, for it was a slip.'}}
 {{Quote|Ishaq:388|Abu Qasim [Muhammad] said, ‘I testify concerning these that all wounded for Allah's sake will be raised with his wounds bleeding, the color of blood, the smell of musk. Look for the one who has remembered the most surahs and put him in front of his Companions in one mass grave.'}}
