Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī writes in his History that her name was Muṣaffā, “Pure.”²⁰ She was an authority on the poetry of Maẓlūmah, “Ill-Treated,” the slave of ʿAbbāsah, daughter of the caliph al-Mahdī.

Ghaḍīḍ was a favored concubine of al-Rashīd’s and part of his inner circle. She died during his caliphate.
