Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib

The Battle of Uhud (March 625 CE) was the second major engagement between Medina's Muslims and the Meccan Quraysh. After an early Muslim advantage, archers left their posts, enabling a Qurayshi cavalry attack that wounded the Prophet, killed Hamza, and ended in a strategic draw.

Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (568-625 CE), known as 'Asad Allah wa Asad Rasulih' (Lion of Allah and Lion of His Messenger), the beloved uncle of Prophet Muhammad and one of the greatest warriors in Islamic history, whose martyrdom at the Battle of Uhud became a defining moment in early Islamic history.
