Re: HAZRAT ASMA BINTE AMEES (RA)
JAK Dr. Sufi. Nice thread.
Would like to add another personality. Its Nusaibah bint Kaab. I think I got the name right. She was among the 73 that came for the second Pledge of Al-Aqabah before the Prophet SAW migrated to Al-Madinah.
As for women warriors among the muslims, she is one example. In the battle of Uhud when the Prophet SAW was left alone and many Ashaba formed a cricle around him to protect him SAW, it was not only men, among those was a woman as well i.e. Nusaibah bint Kaab. She received 16 wounds while fending with a sword but still survived. Subhanallah.
