Ibn Athir in Al-Kamil Fi Tarikh, Vol1, Pg591 says:
(Those who were tortured because of their conversion to Islam:) One of them was Laniba a slave-girl of
Bani Mo’ammal Ibn Habib Ibn Adi Ibn Ka’b. She converted to Islam before Umar, and he used to torture her
forcing her to apostate, in which he said to her: "I did not stop hitting you but for the fact I got tired." Whereupon she said: "Your God will do the same to you if you do not become Muslim!" Then Aboo Bakr
bought her and freed her. And another one of them who Umar used to torture was Zennaira from Bani Adi.

Al-Suyuti in Tafsir Durr Al-Mansoor, Vol13, Pg322 says:
Narrated Ibn Al-Monzir from Awn Ibn Abi Shaddad who said: Umar had a slave-girl who embraced Islam
before him. She was called Zennaira. Because of her conversion to Islam Umar used to hit her, and the
disbelievers of Quraysh used to say: If Islam was a good thing, Zennaira would not have preceded us in it, whereupon
Allah (swt) revealed a verse in the Qur’aan: {And those who disbelieve say of those who believe: 'Had it (Islam) been a
good thing, they (the weak and poor) would not have preceded us thereto!'}[46:11]

Muhammad Ibn Sa‘d in Al-Tabaqat Al-Kabir, Vol10, Pg244 says:
The slave-girl Bint Amr Ibn Mo’ammal, one of the early converts to Islam in Makkah was tortured in the way of
Allah (swt). And Umar Ibn Al-Khattab before his conversion was the one who tortured her to force her
to leave Islam, so he hit her until he got tired, and said to her: "By God, I did not stop hitting you
unless I got tired!" Whereupon she said: "Your God will do the same to you!"

Ibn Al-Hisham in Saheeh Al-Sirah, Pg117 says:
(Aboo Bakr) saw that Umar Ibn Al-Khattab was torturing a slave-girl of Bani Mo’ammal from the family
of Adee Ibn Ka’b to force her to leave the religion of Islam, and Umar at that time was a polytheist
(Mushrik). He hit her until he was tired, then he said: "I apologise to you that I had to stop hitting
you, that is only because I got tired" whereupon she said, "Allah (swt) will do the same to you!" And
then Aboo Bakr bought her and freed her.
