Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may God be pleased with him) was the Prophet ﷺ's uncle and the bravest horseman of Quraysh. One day he heard that Abu Jahl had harmed the Prophet, so he answered him and declared his Islam — and his faith strengthened the first Muslims. He fought as a champion at Badr and was martyred at Uhud in 625 CE; Muslims call him the master of martyrs.

Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib
A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.
Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may God be pleased with him), the Prophet ﷺ's uncle, was the fiercest man of Quraysh before his Islam. Ibn Hisham tells how he came back from hunting and heard that Abu Jahl had insulted the Prophet, so he struck him with his bow and declared the religion on the spot — and his conversion gave strength to the vulnerable early Muslims. At Badr in 2 AH he fought in the front, and at Uhud in 3 AH (625 CE) Wahshi threw his spear from afar and he was martyred; his body was mutilated in the incident that grieved the Muslims. Muslims call him the Lion of God and the master of martyrs.
