The answer

It is permissible to use the term "Sayyidah" (mistress/lady) for the Mothers of the Believers, female companions (Sahabiyat), and virtuous women among the believers. This is supported by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Stand up for your Sayyid (master/chief) and help him dismount," referring to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. And Umar ibn Al-Khattab's saying: "Abu Bakr is our Sayyid, and he freed our Sayyid," meaning Bilal. What is mentioned in the : "The Sayyid is Allah, blessed and exalted is He," is to block the means to exaggeration (ghuluw), whereas his (peace be upon him) saying: "I am the Sayyid of people on the Day of Resurrection" is established.
