==Dhat al-Nitaqayn== | |||
Asma’, daughter of Abu Bakr was known as Dhat al-Nitaqayn. About her title, they have said that “nitaq” meant “skirt” and since she wore two skirts on each other, she was called Dhat al-Nitaqayn. Another meaning of “nitaq” is “apron” and it is said that when the Prophet (a) and Abu Bakr wanted to make their immigration toward Medina, she tore her apron in two parts and wrapped their travel provisions with it and thus she was called Dhat al-Nitaqayn and for that, the Prophet (a) prayed for her. However, Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalani said, “this report is mentioned in Sahih Muslim and there is no mention of granting her the mentioned title by the Prophet (a) there.” | |||
Also, when the people of Sham went to fight with ‘Abd Allah b. Zubayr, sarcastically called him “Ibn Dhat al-Nitaqayn”, and they considered this it a bad title for him and his mother. Maybe, this can suggest that the first opinion about this the title was correct; because, based on the latter opinion, there would be no room for criticism, and it would be a cause of honor and the people of Sham who were ‘Abd Allah b. Zubayr’s enemy would refrain from admiring his mother anyway, let alone in the war with him. | |||
Hajjaj b. Yusuf too sarcastically called ‘Abd Allah with this title, and was admonished by Asma’. ‘Abd Allah himself expressed pride in having this title through a poem from Abu Dhu’ayb Hadhli. | |||
