Life

Emine Musli Kadın (called also Muslıhe, Muslu or Musalli).[6] She had a full elder sister named Ayşe Sultan.[7]

Her father having been dethroned in 1730, she grew up at the Old Palace but was able to live in comfort,[2] as he had had the farmstead of Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa, situated near Edirne, and thus its incomes, allocated to her.[4][2]

On 6 January 1748, during Mahmud's reign, Zübeyde was married firstly to Süleyman Pasha,

She had no known children.

Turkish historian Mustafa Çağatay Uluçay describes the princess as a "philanthropist, protector of the poor, who read day and night".[4]
