Al-Nahdiah
Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALN : Al-Nahdiah
Lubaynah was among the slaves freed by Abu Bakr.
Nadia,An-Nahdiyah or Al Nahdiah (Arabic: النهدية) and her daughter Umm Ubays who became Muslims were the slaves of a lady of Bani Abdul Dar. Their mistress subjected them to great torture when she came to know that they had accepted Islam.
Abu Bakr remonstrated with the lady at the treatment she meted out to her slaves. The mistress said, "You have corrupted them; you may free them if you are so sympathetic to them." Abu Bakr paid the price asked for, and liberated the women.
