Najiyah bint al-Walid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Najiyah bint al-Walid ibn al-Mughira (Arabic: ناجية بنت الوليد بن المغيرة) is a sahaba of Muhammad. She is the daughter of Walid ibn Mughira and married Safwan ibn Umayya.

Najiyah was one of many women who became Muslim before their husbands did. These women were often prevented from doing the hijra while their husbands were still kafirun.

Her husband, Safwan ibn Umayya fled after Mecca was conquered by the Prophet. He did not become Muslim for a long time after that, but they remained married. He eventually became Muslim.
