Saliha Naciye Hanım[a] (Ottoman Turkish: صالحہ ناجیہ خانم; born Zeliha Ankuap; 1887 – 1925) was the favorite concubine of Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire.[2]

Early life[]

Of Abkhazian origin,[3] Saliha Naciye Hanım was born in 1887.[4] Born as Zeliha Ankuap, she was the daughter of Aslan Bey Ankuap.[3] In 1901, Kabasakal Mehmed Pasha, presented her for service in the Yıldız Palace,[5] where her name according to the custom of the Ottoman court was changed to Saliha Naciye.[6]

Marriage[]

Three years into service, Abdul Hamid took notice of Saliha Naciye, and they married on 4 November 1904 in the Yıldız Palace.[4] She was given the title of "Sixth Ikbal".[7] A year after the marriage, on 17 September 1905, she gave birth to her first child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Abid,[8][9] and three years later on 16 January 1909 to her second child, a daughter, Samiye Sultan, who died on 24 January 1909.[10]

In the 1909 mutiny, Kabasakal ("twisted beard") was shaved and publicly hanged,[11] and on 27 April 1909, Abdul Hamid was deposed, and sent into exile in Thessaloniki.[12] Naciye was close to him,[13] and so she and her son Abid accompanied him. But after Thessaloniki fell to Greece in 1912, she returned to Istanbul with Abdul Hamid, and settled in the Beylerbeyi Palace,[7][14] where he died in 1918.[15]

Last years and death[]

After Abdul Hamid's death, Saliha Naciye settled in the mansion of Şehzade Mehmed Selim located in Serencebey.[16] At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, she remained in Istanbul. On 14 January 1925, she gave the power of attorney to Sami Günzberg, a well-known Turkish Jewish lawyer, authorising him to regain from usurpers buildings, lands, mines, concessions left by Abdul Hamid situated in Turkish territory and elsewhere.[17]

She died in 1925, and was buried in the mausoleum of Sultan Mahmud II, located at Divan Yolu street.[18][19]
