*WITH POINTS OF BENEFITS.*
Shifa bint Abdullah Adawiyah - Female Ruqya Practioner & First Female Teacher in Islam:
*Name*
Shifa bint Abdullah bin Abd Shams bin Khalaf bin Shadad al-Qurashiyah al-Adawiyah (Radiy'Allah'anha) was from Makkah. It is said her real name was Laylah, and her Kunyah was Umm Sulaiman, however she became well known as al-Shifa perhaps due to her healing some people with the permission of Allah (the Exalted).
*Early Life*
Al-Shifa bint Abdullah married Abi Khaithamah bin Hudhayfah bin Amir al-Qurashi al-Adawi, and embraced Islam at an early stage in Makkah. She perservered and exercised patience along with the other early Muslims with the distress caused to them by the Quraysh. This was until Allah (the Exalted) permitted these persecuted muslims to migrate from Makkah to Madinah, and she migrated along with them.
*Literacy:- A Rare Quality.*
Al-Shifa bint Abdullah al-Adawiyyah was one of the few individuals who knew how to read and write during the time of Jahiliyyah, having been blessed by Allah with a sharp intellect and beneficial knowledge. SHE was SKILLED in the ART of RUQYA (Incantation & Supplications for Healing & Prophetic Medicine) even at the time of Jahliyyah. When she embraced Islam she did not perform Ruqya until she spoke to the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu'Alayhi'Wasalaam) and recited to him what she would read, and he (Sallallaahu'Alayhi'Wasalaam) granted her permission to perform Ruqya.
*Teaching in Madinah*
Al-Shifa then continued to practice Ruqyah, Healing the muslims, and TAUGHT it to the mother of the believers Hafsah (Radiy'Allah'anha). This is known from the hadith where it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu'alayhi'wasalaam) entered upon the mother of the believers Hafsah bint Umar, and found al-Shifa bint Abdullah with her. He said to her: TEACH Hafsah the RUQYA AL-NAMLAH (a cut in the foot) like you taught her to write. Along with this she also taught other muslim women how to read and write seeking the reward and pleasure of Allah, and making her the first female teacher in Islam.
*Respect of Umar R.A*
Biographical works have not mentioned much detail of the life of al-Shifa bint Abdullah. Ibn Hajar however did describe her in al-Isabah as being from the intelligent and notable women.
It is reported that Umar bin al-Khattab (Radiy'Allahu'anhu) trusted her view and judgement such that he gave her view precedence over others. It is also said that Umar made her responsible for some matters in the market place, some mentioning it could have been to do with proper conduct in the market place.
*Hadith Narration*
Al-Shifa bint Abdullah narrated from the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu'alayhi'wasalaam) and from Umar bin al-Khattab. Her son Suleiman bin Abi Khaithamah in turn narrated from her along with some of her grandchildren. Al-Bukhari cites a narration of hers in Kitab al-Adab and Kitab Afal al-Ibad, alongwith Abu Dawud and al-Nasai.
*Passing Away*
The first female teacher in Islam passed away during the time of Umar bin al-Khattab in the year 20 Hijri. May Allah reward her the best of rewards for her service to this ummah, not least her healing the sick and teaching of women.
