Qurayba bint Abi Quhafa

In January 630, Qurayba's father Abu Quhafa heard that the army of the Muslims were on the way to Mecca. He asked his young daughter Qurayba to lead him to Mount Abu Qubays, and there he asked her what she could see. She told him, "A mass of black." He said they were the cavalry. His daughter added that she could see a man running up and down in front of them, and he said that this was the army adjutant. Then his daughter announced that "the black mass had spread." Abu Quhafa told her that the cavalry had been released so they must go home quickly. However, they met the army before they could reach their house, and a mounted warrior tore off his daughter's silver necklace.[2] Qurayba became frightened, though Abu Quhafa calmed her down saying that her brother Atiq (Abu Bakr) is the most preferred companion of Muhammad. Abu Bakr then saw Qurayba, and learned about her stolen necklace. Abu Bakr asked for the necklace to be returned, but the stealer remained quiet and didn't give the necklace. Abu Bakr then said 'O my little sister, consider that your necklace is with God, for indeed there is little trustworthiness with the people'.[3]
