Fa Zheng vs Hind bint Utbah

Fa Zheng, originally a subordinate of Liu Zhang, defected to Liu Bei and provided him with detailed intelligence about Yi Province's geography and defenses. This information was crucial for Liu Bei's campaign.

Fa Zheng devised the strategy for the Hanzhong Campaign, including a feigned retreat to draw out Xiahou Yuan's forces. The plan succeeded, leading to the death of Xiahou Yuan and the capture of Hanzhong from Cao Cao.

After the victory at Hanzhong, Fa Zheng urged Liu Bei to take the title of King of Hanzhong, solidifying his authority and challenging Cao Cao's dominance. Liu Bei followed this advice.

Fa Zheng died of illness soon after Liu Bei became King of Hanzhong. Liu Bei mourned him greatly, and later, after the defeat at Yiling, Liu Bei lamented that Fa Zheng's absence contributed to the loss.

Hind bint Utbah, after the Quraysh victory at the Battle of Uhud, mutilated the body of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Muhammad's uncle. She reportedly cut open his liver and attempted to eat it, an act of vengeance for her father's death at Badr.

Hind bint Utbah converted to Islam alongside her husband Abu Sufyan after the Muslim conquest of Mecca. She pledged allegiance to Muhammad, marking a significant shift from her previous hostility.

Hind bint Utbah fought alongside the Muslim army at the Battle of Yarmouk against the Byzantines. She reportedly encouraged the troops and participated in the fighting, demonstrating her commitment to the Islamic cause.
