Hind bint Utba ibn Rabi'a (Arabic: هند بنت عتبة بن ربيعة, romanizedHind bint ʿUtba ibn Rabīʿa) was an Arab commander,[1] the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb and the mother of Mu'awiya I. Hind fought against the early Muslims and the prophet Muhammad until converting to Islam herself in 630 after the conquest of Mecca. She is highly praised by Sunni Muslim sources for her military role at the Battle of the Yarmuk under caliph Umar ibn Khattab.
