Shatla Ta'ala

Shifat was one of the few women who could actually read and write in Mecca, where they only had about 20 to 30 people according to biographers that were able to do so. She learned medicine as well, hence her name, as Shifat. The Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam trusted her and took her as a confidant in seeking her advice in many matters due to her wisdom. Ha'afsa, O'Diyolahu Ta'ala Anhah is also related to Shifat because she taught her calligraphy.
