Hazrat Asma was the daughter of Abu Bakr Siddique, step sister of Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqua, wife of Hazrat Zubair bın al-Awwam, and mother of Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair. Hazrat Asma was amongst the early few who accepted Islam. In the preparation of this journey which were made at the house of Hazrat Abu Bakr, Hazrat Asma rendered useful services in this regard.

During the stay in the cave of Thawr, Hazrat Asma take food for the Prophet of Allah and her father, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique.

Hazrat Asma was a generous woman. She inherited a garden after the death of her sister Hazrat Ayesha. She sold it and gave away all the money among the poor and the needy and felt more pleasure than those who received the gifts. Nobody ever returned empty handed from her doorstep. She died at the ripe age of about a hundred years.
