The Courageous Mujahidah
Ibn Hajr al-’Asqalaani mentioned about the Sahabiyyah Umm Musa al-Lakhmiyyah, the wife of Nusayr al-Lakhmee, the father of Musa bin Nusayr the ameer who is known for the opening of al-Andalous.
She attended the battle of Yarmouk with her husband and that day she killed a roman soldier and took whatever he had from money and weapon!
She narrated that incident herself saying: “We were a group of women and while the men took a round i saw a roman soldier who was dragging a muslim man with him. I took a pole from he tent and got closer to him and hit him on his head! I dragged him with me and the men helped me with that.”
['al-Isaabah fee tamyeez as-Sahaabah', by Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaani]
