By Allah, they have lied!
Sa’d bin Ibraheem said: ”Zinneerah [Zunayrah] was a roman slave and became a muslimah. The mushrikeen tortured her until she lost her sight because of the severe torture. The mushrikeen said ’ al laat and ‘uzzah took her sight ‘”. She said, “I disbelieve in al-laat wal ‘uzzah” and Allah returned back her sight.
In another narration: “Abu Bakr radiallahu ‘anh freed Zinneerah from slavery and she lost her sight when she was freed. Quraysh said: ‘It’s only laat and ‘uzzah that took her sight’. She said, ‘By Allah they have lied, al-laat wal ‘uzzah neither harm or benefit’, and Allah returned back her sight”
['Al-'Isabah fee tamyeez as-Sahabah', by Ibn hajar al-'Asqalani]

[Note: al-lat wal uzzah are what some of the Quraish worshiped before the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alayhi wa salam) came, along side with Al-Ilah or Allah]
