She was among the disciples (known in Arabic as Sahaba or companions) of Islamic prophet Muhammad.
[8] On hearing that her name was Asiya ("disobedient"), Muhammad renamed her: "No, you are Jamila" ("beautiful").
One day Umar arrived in Quba and saw Asim playing in the mosque courtyard.
When Abu Bakr ruled, "Do not interfere between a child and its mother," Umar dropped his case and allowed Jamila to keep her son.
[20] Later Jamila was married to Yazid ibn Jariya, and they had one son, Abd al-Rahman.
