Hazrat Juwairiah bintul Harith (R.A) HAZRAT JUWAIRIAH BINTUL HARITH (R.A) Hadhrat Juwairiah (Radhiyallaho anha) was the daughter of Harith, the chief of Banu Mustaliq and was married to Musafe’ bin Safwan. She was one of the largenumber of captives who fell into Muslim hands after the battle of Muraisee’, and she was given to Hadhrat Thabit bin Qais (R.A). He offeredto release her for 360 Dirhams. She came to the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and said: “O, Prophet of Allah! I am the daughter of Harith who is the chief of the, and you know my story. The ransom demanded by Hadhrat Thabit (R.A) is too much for me. I have come to seek your help in the matter.” The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) agreed to pay her ransom, set her free, and offered to take her as his wife. She was very glad to accept this offer. She was married to the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) in 5 A.H. and as a consequence of this marriage, the prisoners of Banu Mustaliq (Juwairiah’s tribe), abouta hundred families, were all set free by the Muslims. “The tribe which so honoured by the Prophet Mohammad’s (pbuh) relationship,” they said, “should not remain in slavery.” Such were the noble expediences in all the marriages of the ProphetMohammad (pbuh). Hadhrat Juwairiah (R.A) was pretty, her face was very attractive. Three days before her falling captive in the battle, she had seen in her dream the moon coming out from Madinahand falling into her lap. She says: “When I was captured, I began to hope that my dream would come true.” She was 20 at the time of her marriage with the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). She died in Rabi-ul-Awwal, 50 A.H., inMadinah at the age of 65 Hazrat Umme Habibah (R.A) HAZRAT UMME HABIBAH (R.A) Hadrath Umme Habibah (Radhiyallaho anha): She was the daughter of Abu Sufyan, and was first married to Ubaidullah bin Jahsh in Mecca. The couple embracedIslam, and then emigrated to Abyssinia due to persecution by the Qureysh. One night she saw her husband (in a dream) in the most ugly and obnoxious form. Thenext day she came to know that he had turnedChristian. She, however, remained a Muslim and was therefore separated from him. She was now all alone in exile. But Allah soon recompensed her loss. The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) sent her an offer of marriage through the King Negus, who sent a woman named Abrahah to her with the message. She was so happy with the good news that she made over the bracelets and other jewellery that she was wearing to the woman in gratification. King Negus represented the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) Nikahceremony, and gave her 400 dinars as her portion and many other things in dowry from himself. He also gave a feast and dinars as gift to all those who were present in the ceremony. The Negus then dispatched her to Madinah, with her dowry and other gifts such as perfume, etc. This marriage took place in 7 A. H. (Her father was nota Muslim then). She most probably died in 44 A.H.
