Makira: "Qabiha is a great woman, Farah."

Farah: "Hm, she was, while Al-Mutawakkil lived. But her son did not succeed him, and her time has come and gone."

—Farah telling Makira and Nasrin about Qabiha's loss of influence, 860s.

Farah (died 860s) was a concubine who lived in Baghdad during the 9th century.

Biography

In the 860s, Farah was one of the concubines of the Caliph who frequented the Harem in the Round City of Baghdad. After the death of Caliph Al-Mutawakkil, Farah and fellow concubine Nasrin soon began to talk and discuss with other concubines about the waning influence of Qabiha, the "Umm Walad" of the former caliph. Speaking as the new "Umm Walad," Farah took charge of the Harem in Qabiha's absence. One day, while ordering the harem's stewardess Makira to receive the new eunuchs, Farah continued her discussions about the change of caliphs and the downfall of Qabiha.

Death

Unknown to her, Farah and Nasrin were targeted by Makira, who remained loyal to Qabiha and could not stand their opposition. Realizing one of the eunuchs was a fake, Makira tricked the man, the Alamut Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq, into giving Farah's hidden alcohol to her to poison with nightshade and framing Nasrin as the culprit. Within moments, Farah drank from her hidden alcohol and died instantly. The guards ultimately seized Nasrin while Makira watched as her plan succeeded.<ref name="TheServantandtheImpostor">
