1 . Syedna Ameer Hamza (RA) was the uncle of Prophet (S. A. W.). He (RA) was one of the greatest soldier of ISLAM. Syedna Ameer Hamza (RA) was killed (SHAHEED) during the battle of UHAD. He is lying to rest in UHAD Battlefield in the bottom of UHAD MOUNT. A boundary wall is built around his grave. There are three graves in the boundary wall and the lonrgest one is the grave of this great soldier of ISLAM. Pilgrims must not forget the visit of UHAD MOUNT and the grave of Syedna Hamza (RA). The killing of Syedn Hamza (RA) was very merciful and Prophet (S. A. W.) remained in sad mood for a long time as he (S. A. W.) used to love him (RA) very much.
2 . A man named "VEHSHEE",
was fighting against ISLAM and he was very expert in throwing little sharp
knife to his aim. He Killed (SHAHEED) Syedna Hamza (RA) throwing his knife.
After the conquer of Makkah, VEHSHEE migerated to TAIF to save himself
from the revange of Muslims. When Muslim conquered Taif, he became worried.
He wanted to be a Muslim but he had no courage to face Prophet Muhammad
(S. A. W.). When someone advised him to go to madina to accept Islam. Prophet
would not take revange if you become a Muslim. When VEHSHEE came to Madina
and presented himself in front of Prophet (S. A. W.) and accepted Islam,
Prophet (S. A. W.) asked how you killed my loving uncle?
Vehshee replied, "I had no interest
in war. I was interested to get rid of my slavery. I was the slave of HIND
( A Kafir woman whose father and brother had been killed in Badar's Battle)
and she had promissed me to free if I would kill Syedna Hamza (RA). I kept
my eyes on him (RA). He (RA) was fighting bravely. He (RA) killed a number
of enemies. All of sudden I got a chance and I threw my small knife over
Syedna Hamza (RA). My aim was at the point and Syedna Hamza (RA) fell down
and died. When I told this news to HIND, she came on the spot at once and
cut the ears and nose of this brave soldier. She cut the stomach of Syedna
Hamza (RA) and tried to swallow his lever. She chewed it but could not
swallow (It is said, if she had swalloed the pious lever of Syedna Hamza
RA, the fire of Hell would have been ineffective over her but she could
not do this as it was not the consent of Almighty Allah)". When Vehshee
completed the tragic story, beloved Prophet became very gloomy and said
to him, "Although you are muslim now yet you should not come infront of
me in future. Because when I (S. A. W.) saw you, I memorise my loving uncle".
Vehshee oftenly used to expresss his deep regrets over this incident. He
wanted to compansate this event by any good work. He was very much repentant
.
"If I am responsible to kill
the most loving personality of Prophet (S. A. W.).
On the other hand I have
the honor to kill the most naughty person of the earth."
