anha) |

Ummu Hakim (
radhiallaho anha) was the wife of Akrimah-bin-abi-Jahl. She
had participated in "Uhud" in the enemy side. She
embraced Islam on the fall of Mecca. She loved her husband very much
who would not become a Muslim in account of his father who was the
worst enemy of Islam. After the fall of Mecca her husband fled to
Yemen. She secured pardon for him form the Prophet (sallallaho
alaihi wasallam) and went to Yemen. and induced her husband to
return to his home. She told him:
"
You can be safe from the sword of Muhammad (sallallaho
alaihi wasallam) only when you put yourself in his
lap."
She returned with
him to Median where Akrimah embraced Islam and the couple began to
live together happily. They both participated in the Syrian war
during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (radhiallaho anho). Akrimah
was killed in a battle. She was then married to another Mujahid Khalid-bin-Said
(radhiallaho anho). It was at a place called Marja-us-Safr that her
husband wanted to meet her. She said:
"
We have enemy concentrating on all fronts. We shall meet
after they are done away with."
Khalid-bin-Said
said: "
I am sure I shall not survive this battle."
They then shared the bed for the
first time in a tent at that place. Next day Khalid-bin-said (radhiallaho
anho) was arranging for the Walimah when the enemy attacked with full
force and he was killed in the battle. Ummu Kakim (radhiallaho naha)
packed up her tent and other luggage and with a tent pin in her hand
fought the enemy till she had killed seven of them.
