It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that among the women of Quraysh who were honoured with the companionship of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is Sayyidah al-Shifa' bint Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her). She was the mother of Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah al-Qurashi and the grandmother of Abu Bakr bin Sulayman bin Abi Hathmah.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that Sayyidah al-Shifa' bint Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her) accepted Islam before the Conquest of Makkah and pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
