Her father and her paternal uncle Shaibah ibn Rabī‘a were among the chief adversaries of Islam who eventually were killed by Ali in the Battle of Badr.
[4][5] Her first husband was Hafs ibn Al-Mughira from the Makhzum clan, to whom she bore one son, Aban.
Hind then married his brother al-Fakah, who was much older than she was, but she accepted him because she wanted her son to grow up within his father's family.
One day he left Hind alone in the hall and returned home to see one of his employees leaving in a hurry.
Hind was sitting among a crowd of women; the soothsayer walked up, struck her on the shoulder and said, "Arise, you chaste woman and no adulteress.
Her family borrowed the jewellery of the Abu'l-Huqayq clan in Medina so that she could adorn herself for the wedding.
In 624, Muhammad organized an attack on the caravan led by Hind and her husband, Abu Sufyan, that was travelling to Syria for trade purposes.
The Muslims defeated the Meccans and Hind's father, son, brother and uncle were all killed in that battle.
[17][18][19][20] In the Battle of the Yarmuk the Muslims were outnumbered by the Byzantines, but with the help of the women and boys amongst them, defeated the Eastern Roman Empire.
[21][22] Two of the earliest history books on Islam pay great tribute to Hind for her action in the midst of the battle.
Every time some men ran away, the women turned them back and fought, fearing that if they lost, the Romans would enslave them.
[29] Hind sang the same song she had sung when she fought against the Muslims in the battle of Uhud:[29] Night star's daughters are we, who walk on carpets soft they be Our walk does friendliness tell Our hands are perfumed musk smell Pearls are strung around these necks of us So come and embrace us Whoever refuses will be separated forever To defend his woman is there no noble lover?
