The Hairdresser of Fir'aun's Daughter (Name Unknown)

A slave woman in the court of Firʿawn during the era of Mūsā Alayhi Salām. Her personal name is not recorded, she is known only by her role: māshiṭat ibnat Firʿawn, the hairdresser of Fir'aun's daughter. Her story was narrated by the Prophet ﷺ during the night of Isrāʾ wal-Miʿrāj, when he encountered her sweet fragrance and asked Jibrīl about it.

The story: While combing the daughter's hair, the comb fell and she instinctively said 'Bismillāh.' The daughter challenged her: 'You mean my father?' The woman declared: 'No, my Lord and your Lord and your father's Lord is Allah.' Reported to Fir'aun, she repeated the same declaration to his face. Fir'aun ordered her to throw her children into a white-hot cauldron one by one, or acknowledge him as Lord. She made one request: bury me and my children together. She watched her children martyred one by one. When only her nursing infant remained and she hesitated, the baby spoke from the cradle: 'O my mother, proceed, this worldly punishment is nothing compared to the punishment of the next.' She stepped into the fire.

Allah preserved her story not in the scriptures of Mūsā's Ummah (she is absent from the Old Testament and Jewish tradition), but in the Ummah of Muḥammad ﷺ, the greatest and largest Ummah.
