Al-Shifa was one of the early Muslim women. She belonged to the Adiy clan of the Quraysh. This means that she was from the same clan as two of the ten companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to whom he gave the happiest news of all, which was that their admission to heaven was assured. These two were Umar ibn Al-Khattab and Saeed ibn Zayd.
