Wahshi was also the same person who had martyred Hazrat Hamzah (ra), the beloved uncle of the Holy Prophet (sas), in the battle of Uhud. When Wahshi later accepted Islam after the battle of Ta’if and appeared in front of the Holy Prophet (sas), he (sas) asked Wahshi to go away because he reminded the Holy Prophet of the loss of his beloved uncle. Wahshi then promised to kill an enemy of Islam to redeem himself. Hence, he fulfilled this promise in Hazrat Abu Bakr’s (ra) time during the battle of Yamama by killing Musaylimah.
