Biography

She had a daughter named Umm Ubays [http://web.archive.org/web/20030911182324/http://muslimaccess.com/sunnah/seerah/10a.htm muslimaccess] ] , and both of them were the slaves of a lady of Banu Abd-al-dar [http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Articles/companion/02_abu_bakr.htm witness-pioneer] ] .

When Nahdiah and her daughter became Muslims, they were both tortured because they refused to leave Islam [http://web.archive.org/web/20050421200507/http://www.islamic-paths.org/Home/English/Muhammad/Book/Millennium_Biography/Chapter_030.htm Millennium_Biography] ] . Among those who tortured them were her mistress and Umar, before he also became a Muslim .

Abu Bakr, an early Muslim, complained to their mistress about the treatment, whereupon she answered "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 .
