Lubaina and Zinnira, Nadia and Umm Umais
Lubaina was the slave of Omar. Before Omar's conversion his harsh treatment of his
convert slaves was well known.
Omar was extremely strong, and when he discovered that Lubaina had converted he
beat her until he was exhausted and then said, "I have not stopped out of pity, but
because I am tired!" Lubaina held on strongly to her belief and said after her severe
beating, "If this does not persuade you, Allah shall take revenge for me!"
Zinnira was yet another slave owned by Omar. One day when Abu Jahl was visiting
Omar, he took it upon himself to beat her. Zinnira was beaten so harshly that she lost
her eyesight.
Nadia and Umm Umais were yet two more slaves who were among those tortured but
refused to recant.
