´It was narrated that Qais bin ‘Ubaid said:` “I heard Abu Dharr swearing that these verses were revealed concerning those six people on the Day of Badr: ‘These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord.”[22:19] to the words “Verily, Allah does what he wills.’[22:14] (that is) Hamzah bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib, ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, ‘Ubaidah bin Al-Harith, ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah, Shaibah bin Rabi’ah and Al-Walid bin ‘Utbah. They argued with one another on the Day of Badr.”

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Utbah, Shaybah, and Walid were leaders among the disbelievers. Utbah was the father of Hindah radi Allahu anha, while Hindah was the honorable wife of Abu Sufyan radi Allahu anhu and the mother of Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Habibah radi Allahu anha. Shaybah was the brother of Utbah, and Walid was the son of Utbah.
(2)
Ali radi Allahu anhu was the son of Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib, and Ubaydah radi Allahu anhu was the son of Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. In this way, both of these noble companions were cousins of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while Hamzah radi Allahu anhu was the son of Abd al-Muttalib and the uncle of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
(3)
Where the matter of faith is concerned, even blood relations hold significance.
