Fiḍḍa al-Nūbīyya was the housemaid of Fatima al-Zahra (a). She was named "Fidda" by the Prophet (s).

Fatima (a) divided house works between herself and Fidda—one day she took care of the house and one day Fidda took care of it.
When Imam al-Hasan (a) and Imam al-Husayn (a) contracted a disease, and Ali (a) and Fatima (a) vowed to fast for three days after their recovery, Fidda accompanied them and made a similar vow. Verses 7 and 8 of Qur'an 76 were revealed in this regard.
When Imam Ali (a) called his children to say goodbye to the corpse of their mother, Fatima (a), he addressed Fidda as well: "O Umm Kulthum, O Zaynab, O Sukayna, O Fidda, O Hasan, O Husayn, come on and say goodbye to your mother.......
