HIND (هند).
Arabic name, possibly from the
same root as that of Hindustan (see note below), meaning "dark"
or "black." This was the name of one of the Prophet's
wives.
... The seizure of this lady
occasioned serious hostilities with Central Arabia; but they were at
last put a stop to by the marriage of Mundzir with Hind daughter
of Harith, the marauding chief... (The Life of Mahomet, Muir,
v.1, 1861)
SIKANDAR-NAMA, Book of
Alexander the Great, written A.D. 1200, by Abu Muhammad-bin-Yusu-bin-Muayyid-i-Nizam-
ud-Din,
is a poem of 6886 verses. It abounds with obscure allusions to
facts, traditions, and sentiments of a bygone time, with peculiarities
of construction, curious idioms, and unusual uses of words.
The traditions of Alexander the Great, as told
by the Persians, differ widely from those preserved by the Greeks. One
of its commentators, Syed Seif-ud-Din, says that Hind means dark
or black, the colour appropriated to the planet Saturn, under whose
influences Hind or Hindustan is reckoned. (The Cyclopaedia of India
and of Eastern and Southern Asia, Balfour, v.3, 1885)
