Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr (Arabic: أسماء بنت أبي بكر; c. 594/595 – 692/693 CE) was a follower and Sahabiyya of prophet Muhammad and the elder half-sister of his wife Aisha. Her nickname Dhat an-Nitaqayn (meaning she with the two belts) was given to her by Muhammad during the migration to Medina. She is regarded as one of the most prominent Islamic figures, as she helped Muhammad during the Hijrah from Mecca to Medina.
