About

Hind bint Abī Umayya of Makhzūm, a Mother of the Believers (33:6). With her first husband, Abū Salama, she migrated to Abyssinia and then to Madīna; when he died of a wound taken at Uḥud, the Prophet ﷺ married her. At Ḥudaybiya, when the Companions, dismayed by the treaty, did not rise to sacrifice, it was her counsel that he go out, sacrifice and shave his head first, and seeing him they followed (Bukhārī). A narrator of his hadith, she was among the last of his wives to die.
