Rubayyi-bint-Mewaz (radhiallaho anho) was a woman of Ansar Who had praticipated in many battles by the side of the Prophat (sallallaho alaihi wasallam). She nursed the wounded and carried the dead bodies during the battle. She had accepted Islam before the Prophet emigrated to Medina. She was married when the Prophet was in Medina. He graced her marriage with his presence. He heard some girls singing an epic poem about the "Badr" at her place. One of them san the verse, which meant:

" We have among us the Prophet (sallallho alaihi wasallam) who knows what is to happen tomorrow."

He stopped her from saying such things for nobody except Allah knows what is going to happen in future.

It was Rubayyi's father Mewaz who was one of those who killed Abu Jahl in "Badr". Abu Jahl as know, was one of the big chiefs of Quraish and the worst enemy of Islam. There was a woman named Asma who used to sell perfumes to the ladies. She once came to Rubayyi to sell perfume. When Rubbayyi was introduced to her as the daughter of Mewaz she remarked:   " So you are the daughter of him who killed his chief."

Rubayyi's high mind could not tolerate the wretched person like Abu Jahl to be mentioned as the chief of her father. She therefore retorted:" No I am the daughter of one who killed his slave."

Asma did not like this epithet for Abu Jahl and said with anger:  " It is haram for me to sell perfume to you"

Rubayyi said, in the same strain, 
        " It is Haram for me to buy perfume from you. I have never found any perfume stinking except yours."

Rubayyi says: " I had used the last words simply to provoker her."

Look at her sensitivenes and feeling for Islam. She could not tolerate an enemy of Islam being mentioned as a chief. We aher from this lips of Muslims most flowery and high sounding epothets being used for hte open enemies fo Islam. When they are reminded they call it narrow-mindedness. The Prophet (sallallano alaihi wasallam) says:" Don't call Munafiq a chief. You displease Allah when you take him as a chief."
