Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib

Ibn Sa'd, citing al-Waqidi, and Ibn Sayyid, quoting Zubayr, both reported that Hamza was four years older than Muhammad. His father was Abdul Muttalib, a member of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca, and his mother was Halah bint Wuhayb of the Zuhrah clan of Quraysh.

Conversion to Islam Hamza showed little interest in Islam during its early years and converted in late 616 CE. Hamza went to the Kaaba, struck Abu Jahl with his bow, and declared his support for Muhammad. Accounts differ on whether Utba was killed by Hamza or Ali. Some sources report that Hind attempted to chew Hamza’s liver after the battle but was unable to swallow it. • Barra bint Hamza. ==See also==
