Hurra bint Badr

Hurra bint Badr (Arabic: حرة بنت بدر) was the principal wife of eighteenth Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir until his death in 932.

Her father was originally a military slave (ghulam or malwa) who served under the caliph al-Mu'tadid.

His ability and loyalty led him to become the Caliph's commander-in-chief, exercising considerable influence in the governance of the state throughout Mu'tadid's reign.

He was executed on 14 August 902 due to the machinations of the ambitious vizier, al-Qasim ibn Ubayd Allah.

Her husband, al-Muqtadir was the first underage Caliph in Muslim history.
