Explanation
Hanzala Ibn Abi Amir or Ḥanẓala Ibn Abī ʿĀmir (Arabic: ﺣﻨﻈﻠـة ﺍﺑﻦ ﺍﺑﻲ ﻋﺎﻣﺮ) (c. 601 – 625) was one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He belonged to the Banu Aus tribe of the Ansar. His father, Abu Aamir was said to be a Christian. Hanzala was just 24 years old when he died in the Battle of Uhud while fighting against the polytheists. Hanzala, being a foot soldier, attacked Abu Sufyan ibn Harb’s horse. However, Abu Sufyan ibn Harb was saved by Shaddād bin al-Aswad (also known as Ibn Sha’ub) who then killed Hanzala.
