Safiyyah (radhiallaho anha) was the aunt of the Prophet (sallallaho alaihi wasallam) and a real sister of Hamza (radhiallaho anha). She took part in battle of "Uhud". When the Muslims were defeated and some of them began to flee from the battle she would smite them with her spear and excite them to go back and fight.

In the war of the Treanch the Prophet (sallallaho alaihi wasallam) had collected all the Muslim ladies in a fortress and had deputed Hassan-bin-Thabit (radhiallaho anho) to look after them. The Jews who were always in the look-out for such opportunities for doing mischief surrounded the place and sent one of them to find out if there were any men with the ladies. Safiyyah happened to see the Jew approaching the fort. She said to Hassan:
   " There is a Jew coming to spy on us. You go out and Kill him."

Hassan (radhiallaho anha) was a weak person. He did not make bold to do the job. Safiyyah got hold of a tent pin and went outside the fortress and gave a blow on the head of the Jew and killed him on the spot.  She back and said to Hassan:
" The man is dead. I have not removed the clothes and arms from his body for reasons of modesty. Now you go and remove everything from his body. Also bring his head after severing it from the body."

Hassan was too weak-hearted to do that even. She herself went again and brought his head and threw it over the wall amidst the Jews. When they was this they said:
  " We are wondering how Muhammad could keep the ladies alone in this fort. Surely, There are men inside to guard the ladies."

Safiyyah died in 20 A.H. at the age of seventy-three. The was of Trench was fought in 5 A.H. She was therefore 58 then. These days a lady of that age is hardly able to do her domestic work. But look how Safiyyah (radhiallaho anha) goes and kills a Jew all alone.
