Sabeeka سبيكة النوبية was a great pious lady married to Imam Al-Ridha (AS) and mother of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaad (AS).
She was from the family of Mariyah Al-Qibtiyyah the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who gave birth to his son Ebrahim.
We have many Hadeeths praising her.
She is known as Sabeeka al-Noobiyyah (Sabeeka of Nooba which is Egyptian Africa).
She is also known by other names like Khaizaraan and Rayhana.
The meaning of Sabeeka in Arabic is a piece of Gold.
It is good to keep this name for newborn girl. It is already used as name for thousands of Muslim females.
