Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) obtained captives from Banu Mustaliq, Lady Juwayriya bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) came into the share of Thabit bin Qais bin Shamas (may Allah be pleased with him) or his cousin. Lady Juwayriya (may Allah be pleased with her) made a contract of manumission (i.e., set a price for her freedom) with him. She was a very beautiful woman; whoever saw her, she would settle in his heart. She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek help for her manumission. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: By Allah! When I saw her at the door of the chamber, I disliked it, and I was sure that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also see in her the quality (beauty) that I am seeing. She said: O Messenger of Allah! I am Juwayriya, the daughter of Harith bin Abi Dhirar, who is the chief of his people. The distress that has come upon me is not hidden from you. I have come into the share of Thabit bin Qais or his cousin, and I have made a contract of manumission with him. I have come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek help for my manumission. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you like something better than that? She asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is that (better)? He said: I will pay your manumission amount and marry you. She said: That is fine. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have done this. The news spread among the people that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had married Juwayriya bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her). People began to say: They have become the in-laws of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Thus, they freed all the captives of Banu Mustaliq who were in their possession. The marriage of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with Lady Juwayriya (may Allah be pleased with her) freed a hundred families of Banu Mustaliq. We do not know of any woman who proved to be more blessed for her people than her.

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I heard a statement (hadith) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which is dearer to me than receiving (so much) wealth: Whoever is afflicted by a calamity... etc., she mentioned part of the hadith. The narrator says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her a marriage proposal, so she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is most welcome (i.e., I accept your proposal), but there are three matters because of which I fear marrying the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): I am a woman of intense jealousy (anger), I have no guardian to marry me off, and I am a woman with children. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this, he became so angry for the sake of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he had never been so angry even for his own sake. Her (Umm Salamah’s) words reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he came to her and said: As for the jealousy (anger) you mentioned, I will pray to Allah Almighty that He removes your jealousy. As for the matter of children you mentioned, Allah Almighty will suffice them. And as for your saying that you have no guardian here to marry you to me, then none of your guardians will dislike me, whether he is present or absent. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her son: Marry me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he married her to him.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take permission or consult women regarding their bodies (marriage). It was asked: A virgin girl remains silent out of shyness? He said: Her silence is her permission. In the narration of Mukhrami: She feels shy, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is her permission.
