Along with Maulana Ali <sup>AS<\/sup>, it was he who defeated the adversaries in the first battle at Badr. The enemies returned with a vengeance in the battle of Ohod. Hind, the wife of Abu Suffyan had enticed a slave called Wahshi to slay Maulana Hamzah<sup>AS<\/sup> for he had slain her father in Badr. Unable to confront him, Wahshi stalked Maulana Hamzah <sup>AS<\/sup> and upon finding an opportunity hurled a spear at him from behind the trees. Maulana Hamzah<sup>AS<\/sup> fell from his horse. Hind came by him, slit his stomach, removed a piece of his liver and put it in her mouth. She could not swallow it and had to spit it out: such was her spiteful vengeance. When Rasulullah <sup>SA<\/sup> came to know about this, he remarked, \u201chad she swallowed a piece of his flesh, she would have escaped the fire of hell, for his flesh would have mixed with hers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The sight of Maulana Hamzah\u2019s <sup>AS<\/sup> disfigured body enraged Rasulullah<sup>SAW<\/sup>. He said, \u201cNever before have I stood in front of a sight more agonising than this\u201d. Jibraeel descended with the message, \u201cO Mohammed! It is written among the people of heaven that Hamzah is the lion of Allah and the lion of his Rasul.\u201d Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup> prayed <em>namaaz<\/em> on his <em>janaazah mubarakah <\/em>and then when he prayed <em>namaaz<\/em> on each martyr Maulana Hamzah\u2019s <sup>AS<\/sup> <em>janaazah mubarakah<\/em> was also kept alongside, thus praying <em>namaaz<\/em> on it 72 times.<\/p>\n<p>When Rasulullah <sup>SA<\/sup> returned to Medina after the battle of Ohod, he passed by the houses of the Ansaar and heard the women crying for their slain ones. Rasulullah\u2019s <sup>SA<\/sup> eyes were filled with tears upon the realisation that there was no one to cry for Maulana Hamzah<sup>AS<\/sup>. When the Ansaar came to know about this, they instructed their women to gather in the masjid and cry for Maulana Hamzah<sup>AS<\/sup>. Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup> prayed for them and sent them back home forbidding them from wailing. Maulana Hamzah <sup>AS<\/sup> was buried on the battlefield of Ohod along with the other martyrs, on the outskirts of Madina Munawwarah.
