Amir Hamza, the Lord of the Auspicious Planetary Conjunction was taught archery, wrestling, and the language of all creatures, including the Jinni language of the jinns, by the angel Jibrail (Gabriel). During his adventures he also received the following powers, holy gifts, weapons and occult contraptions.
THE MOST GREAT NAME: According to Muslim tradition God has ninety-nine known names. Besides these God has a name which is revealed only to prophets and saints. It is the Most Great Name of God. A holy guide named Khizr taught God’s Most Great Name to Amir Hamza. With its power Amir Hamza can counter and revoke magic but he cannot conquer a tilism with it, nor use it to free someone imprisoned within a tilism.
WAR CRY: A gift of Aadam. It is heard up to a distance of one hundred and twenty-eight miles.
AADAM’S ARMLET: An armlet whose power helps Hamza triumph against his enemies and his arm is never lowered by his foe in battle. It also helps Hamza’s sword surmount his foe, even if he should be a thousand-yard-tall.
DRAGON-SHAPED STANDARD: Buzurjmehr had made this standard for Amir Hamza with dragon-skin. It is shaped like a dragon’s head and has thirty-six holes.

No one can leap over its walls because the wall rises higher than anyone can jump, by itself.
