Q
What significance does the story of Asma’s waist-belt hold in Islamic history?
A
The People of Sham taunted `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair by calling him “The son of Dhatin-Nataqain”
(the woman who has two waist-belts). (His mother) (Asma, said to him, “O my son! They taunt you
with “Nataqain”. Do you know what the Nataqain were? That was my waist-belt which I divided in
two parts. I tied the water skin of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) with one part, and with the other part I tied his food
container.”
