It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that the mother of Sayyidah Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) was Qutaylah bint Abd al-Uzza. She was the full sister of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Bakr. She accepted Islam very early in Makkah and gave the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She was married to Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), and from him she had seven children: Abdullah, Urwah, Asim, al-Muhajir, Khadijah al-Kubra, Umm al-Hasan and Aishah.
