[3] In 1901, Kabasakal Mehmed Pasha, presented her for service in the Yıldız Palace,[5] where her name according to the custom of the Ottoman court was changed to Saliha Naciye.

[10] In the 1909 mutiny, Kabasakal ("twisted beard") was shaved and publicly hanged,[11] and on 27 April 1909, Abdul Hamid was deposed, and sent into exile in Thessaloniki.

Saliha Naciye refused to abandon Abdülhamid and, together with Müşfika Kadın, demanded to stay with him in Beylerbeyi Palace until his death.

Pesend Hanım, on the other hand, was unable to obtain permission and therefore never saw her husband again, suffering greatly from this, so much so that she shaved her head as a sign of mourning at his death.

[15] After Abdul Hamid's death, Saliha Naciye settled in the mansion of Şehzade Mehmed Selim located in Serencebey.
