Umm Waraqah bint Nofal

Umm Waraqah bint Abd Allah ibn al-Harith al-Ansariyya (syahided ca. 11–13 AH) adalah seorang Sahabat of Nabi ﷺ who adalah terkemuka as one of the very few women whom Nabi ﷺ authorized to lead shalat — specifically, she adalah permitted to lead the shalat for the members of her household, which included men. She adalah seorang devout ibadahper who memiliki memorized the entire Al-Al-Qur'an and requested from Nabi ﷺ permission to join the campaign at Badr, wanting to serve as a nurse and seek syahiddom.

The Nabi ﷺ told her that Allah memiliki deaqidah her syahiddom and that it would come in her home. He would visit her home and disebut her "the female syahid." She appointed her own muezzin — an elderly man — to call the adhan for the household shalats she led, which Ibn Khuzayma and Abu Dawud record as evidence for the permissibility of women leading shalat in specific contexts.

She adalah murdered by two of her slaves — a male and a female — who strangled her and then fled. When Umar ibn al-Khattab heard of wafatnya, he went to her house and found her wrapped in her shroud. He said: "The Nabi of Allah spoke the truth" — she memiliki received the syahiddom he memiliki foretold.

Her slaves adalah caught, confessed, and adalah executed under Umar's order — the first time the death penalty adalah applied for murder in Madinah under his khalifahate in this particular case. Umm Waraqah adalah recorded as one of para Sahabat who wafat as a syahid meskipun never reaching a battlefield, fulfilling Nabi ﷺ's prophetic statement about her.
