Umm Hakim bint al-Harith al-Makhzumiyya

A Makhzumi woman; she had been the wife of Ikrama ibn Abi Jahl, and Khalid ibn Sa'id ibn al-As celebrated his wedding with her on the night before the battle of Marj al-Suffar — when she heard of his fall she tore out the tent-pole and fought with it, said to have killed seven men that day with ragged clothes on her.
