What information is available about Lady Asma, may Allah be pleased with her?
There are two famous female Companions named "Asma": The first is Asma bint Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq. Her mother was Qutayla bint Abd Al-Uzza. She embraced Islam in Mecca and married Al-Zubayr. She emigrated while pregnant with Abdullah, whom she gave birth to in Quba. She lived until her son was killed after his caliphate, and she passed away shortly after him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nicknamed her "Dhat al-Nitaqayn" (The Possessor of the Two Waist-Wrappers) because she tore her waist-wrapper to tie the provisions of the Prophet and Abu Bakr on the day of the Hijra. The second is Asma bint Umays. She embraced Islam in Mecca and emigrated with her husband Ja'far ibn Abi Talib to Abyssinia. After Ja'far's death, she married Abu Bakr, and after his death, she married Ali, may Allah be pleased with all of them.
