The answer

The woman is the female Companion Hind bint Utbah, may Allah be pleased with her. She said that when she pledged allegiance to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the women in Mecca after the conquest. She was referring to her son, Hanzalah ibn Abi Sufyan, who was killed with the polytheists in Badr, and this was in response to Allah's saying: "And that they not kill their children."
