? She humiliated Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi and forced him to walk barefoot.. How did Hind bint Al-Muhallab break the might of the governor of Iraq
Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi was a tyrant, stubborn and bold in bloodshed, he took over Mecca, Medina, Taif and Iraq during the era of the Umayyad Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan, and he was the first to hit the Kaaba with catapults, when he went to the Hijaz to fight Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr, besieged Mecca and killed Ibn Al-Zubayr and crucified his body During his life full of bloodshed and beheading, only one of the most beautiful women of the Arabian Peninsula, Hind Bint Al-Muhallab, broke his tyranny.. Let us tell you her story:
Hind Bint Al-Muhallab .. "An Arab filly analyzed by a mule"
Hind was a beautiful woman of lineage; Her father is the Tabi’ite leader, Al-Muhallab bin Abi Sufra, and her brother is Yazid bin Al-Muhallab , one of the most important figures in Islamic history.
Hind was not willing to marry Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi, but he was one of the most powerful men in the Umayyad dynasty.
Hind was the fourth wife of the pilgrims, and she stayed with him reluctantly for a period of time, until he entered her room one day and found her contemplating her beauty in the mirror and saying:
Hind is nothing but an Arab filly, a breed of mares, analyzed by a mule.
If you give birth to a stallion, God will give him a reward, and if you give birth to a mule, then the mule will bring it
And according to what was mentioned in the book “ Informing the People of What Happened to Al-Baramkeh ” by its author, Al-Hajjaj, when Al-Hajjaj heard that he went back in anger without Hind not noticing his presence, and he wanted to reward her for saying that with a divorce, so he sent a boy to her and asked him to return her dowry (two hundred thousand dinars) And to call it two words no more than them.
So the boy went to Hind, and said to her: You were a girl, i.e. you were his wife, and she had a daughter (from between separation or separation) and she became his ex-wife, but Hind’s eloquence did not disappoint her, and she replied, “We were, but we were not happy… We did not grieve, and she was not satisfied with this response, but she gave two hundred thousand dinars to the boy.” She said to him: This is the good news of my salvation for you from the Thaqif dog (Taqeef is the tribe to which Al-Hajjaj belongs).
Other stories of India's divorce
Those verses that Hind said must have been the hair that broke the camel's back, but there were other reasons that prompted the pilgrims to divorce Hind bint Al-Muhallab.
He had a close relationship with her family, but things changed between him and the Muhallab family, so he feared their power and influence, so Hind's brothers were put in prison, and Hind was not satisfied with what the pilgrims did to her brothers; She was very attached to them and loved them very much, and Al-Hajjaj feared that Hind would kill him or poison him because of what he had done, so he divorced her.
In another narration, it is said that al-Hajjaj saw in a dream that his two eyes had been gouged out.
Until the news of the death of his brother Muhammad bin Yusuf came to him on the same day as the death of his son Muhammad bin Al-Hajjaj, so he knew that this was the interpretation of a dream that had his eyes plucked out and said: By God, this is the interpretation of my dreams before, Muhammad and Muhammad in one day, we belong to God and to Him we shall return.
Whatever the reasons for Hind's divorce, the divorce took place and the revenge of the daughter of Al-Muhallab will not be easy for Al-Hajjaj.
"The dog licked the pot, O Commander of the Faithful."
After Hind's divorce, no one dared to marry her again for fear of the pilgrims. However, the news of her beauty, goodness and alertness reached the ears of the Commander of the Faithful, Abd al-Malik bin Marwan; So he decided to propose to her for himself, and it was said in some accounts that Hind was the one who pushed some poets to praise her in front of the Caliph, and regardless of the reasons, the Commander of the Faithful fell in love with Hind before he even saw her.
And when she was informed of Abd al-Malik bin Marwan's desire to be engaged to her, she sent him a letter in which she said: After praising God and praying for His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and afterwards, know, Commander of the Faithful, that the dog licked the vessel. (And by dog you mean here Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi, and the meaning of the dog licking the pot, i.e. drinking from it).
When Abd al-Malik bin Marwan read her book, he laughed at her words and wrote to her the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace: If a dog licks the utensil of any one of you, let him wash it seven times, one of them with dirt, then said: Wash the mote from the place of use.
Certainly Hind agreed to the request of the Commander of the Faithful, but she stipulated that the pilgrims lead her procession on her way to the Caliphate Palace and be barefoot, so the Caliph laughed a lot at her condition and agreed to it.
Al-Hajjaj responds to Hind's kid
Al-Hajjaj only sought to comply with the orders of the Caliph, and indeed he went to the house of Hind barefoot, and when she was ready and rode with her maidservants in the howitzers, Al-Hajjaj took the reins of the camel and began to lead it towards the Caliphate Palace.
On the way, Hind deliberately signed a dinar from her hand while he was driving the departing pilgrims, so she addressed him saying: Boy, I fell a dirham, so give it to me.
So the pilgrims handed her her money, saying: It is a dinar and not a dirham, and she said: Praise be to God, who exchanged me instead of the dirham for a dinar (and by that you mean that she married better than him), so the pilgrims understood her intent and made the matter clear to himself and decided to repay her plot against her.
And when the late woman arrived at the palace, the pilgrims remained in the stable and delayed attending the feast that the Commander of the Faithful had prepared on the occasion of his marriage, and when the Caliph noticed the absence of the pilgrims, he sent to him.
Abd al-Malik bin Marwan understood the intent of that, and his soul was narrowed by the words of al-Hajjaj, so he did not approach Hind after their marriage.
The decorations of the kings are pierced by the gypsies
Al-Hajjaj won in one round, but the victory in the end went to Hind bint Al-Muhallab, who knew that the Caliph would not approach her because of the words of Al-Hajjaj, so she resorted to the trick again.
Hind sent a request for the Caliph, claiming that she wanted to talk to him about something, and as soon as he arrived, she deliberately cut a pearl necklace, then lifted her dress and began to tuft its beads in its folds.
The Caliph was fascinated by the beauty and charm of Hind, then he heard her say while licking the pearls: Glory be to God. Surprisingly, he asked her: Why do you glorify God? She said: This pearl was created by God for the adornment of kings, but his wisdom wanted that only gypsies could pierce it.
Then the face of the Caliph rejoiced after he understood her purpose, and said: Yes, by God, you have spoken the truth. And they got married on that day.
