Hind was a woman active in Al-Ula during the 860s. Once married to a prosperous merchant, his sudden death from a heart attack forced her to manage her family's business in order to ensure a good life for her two sons. Due to never hesitating to aid neighbors in need, even when dealing with her own hardships, she became known throughout Al-Ula for her compassion.

Biography

After her husband passed and was buried, Hind sent her two young sons to stay with relatives, believing herself to not be the company they deserved due to her grief. She often visited her husband's grave out at AlUla Cemetery in the Southern Wilds, staying there one day for a prolonged period of time until an eagle startled her by landing on the gravestone. The eagle's owner, Basim ibn Ishaq, apologized for the incident and offered to escort her to her home, which she accepted. While they walked, she spoke about her life and her recent loss, advising him to ask the heavier man whom she had seen with him at the cemetery about chest pains and heart flutters, considering that her husband suffered such ailments before his death.

Upon arriving at the complex that included both her home and her husband's warehouse, Hind saw the robbers' mark painted upon a wall, and asked of Basim that he infiltrate the location and retrieve a small wooden case holding her husband's portrait. He soon returned to her with the requested item, but knowing that the robbers usually killed any witnesses, she asked him to escort her to the AlUla Oasis, where she hoped to take refuge in the merchant Nimlot's opulent farmhouse. During their trek, she told Basim all she knew about the robbers and the man she suspected to be their leader, 'Abis. At the estate's entrance, she asked one last favor of Basim, to bring any stolen items he retrieved from the robbers to her, so that she could return them to their rightful owners and cautiously oppose the criminals. She then met with Nimlot and explained what had happened, being welcomed under his roof, and she would later send word for her children to join her there.

Basim retrieved many stolen items from the robbers' caches and gave them to Hind, who, in turn, returned them to Al-Ula's residents and gave Basim a talisman as a reward. After Basim dealt with the robbers and despite her grief, Hind began managing her family's trading ventures to secure their future.
