Martyrdom of Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
Dear Islamic brothers! A great clash took place between truth and falsehood on the 15th of Shawwāl 3 AH. This encounter is known as the Battle of Uḥud. Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ also participated in this. He fought with untold bravery and courage, eventually attaining the lofty rank of martyrdom.[1] His age at the time was 54.
The Prophet’s grief over his uncle’s martyrdom
The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stood by the blessed body of his uncle Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and exclaimed:
يَاحَمْزَةُ! يَاعَمَّ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ - “O Ḥamzah! O uncle of the Messenger of Allah!”
وَأَسَدَ اللهِ وأَسَدَ رَسُوْلِهٖ – “O Lion of Allah and His Messenger!”
يَاحَمْزَةُ يَافَاعِلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ – “O Ḥamzah! O you who excelled in goodness!”
يَاحَمْزَةُ يَاكَاشِفَ الْكَرَبَاتِ – “O Ḥamzah! O remover of worries!”
يَاحَمْزَةُ يَاذَابًّا عَنْ وَجْهِ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ – “O Ḥamzah! O you who drove enemies far away from the face of Allah’s Messenger!”
According to one narration, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Uncle! May Allah have mercy upon you, as you maintained ties of kinship and excelled in righteous deeds.”[2]
