Abdullah bin Abi al-Abyad narrates from his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took Banu al-Mustaliq captive, and Sayyidah Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was among those captives. Then her father came, ransomed her and freed her, and after that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her. As for the narration of Muhammad bin Ishaq, it is, to its end, close to the wording of al-Waqidi, and their meanings are all the same.

Abdullah bin Abi al-Abyad narrates from his father that he said: Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), died in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal in the year 56 AH, during the governorship of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Marwan bin al-Hakam, who was the governor of Madinah at that time, led her funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "When I was married to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I was twenty years old." The narrator says: Sayyidah Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with her) died in the year 50 AH, and on that day she was sixty-five years old, and Marwan bin al-Hakam led her funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "Three nights before the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I saw in a dream as if the moon came travelling from Yathrib until it fell into my lap. I did not like to tell anyone about it until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. When we were taken captive, I hoped for the fulfilment of my dream. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) freed me and married me, by Allah, I did not speak to him (peace and blessings be upon him) about my people at all, until the Muslims themselves released them. I only came to know when a girl, one of my paternal cousins, came and told me the news, upon which I praised Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq that the name of Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith was formerly "Barrah". She was the daughter of al-Harith bin Abi Dirar and belonged to Banu al-Mustaliq, a branch of the tribe of Khuza'ah. She had been married to her paternal cousin Musafi' bin Safwan bin Dhi al-Shufrayn.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) that her name was formerly "Barrah", and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed it and named her "Juwayriyah", because he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked that it be said: "He has come out from Barrah (righteousness)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed the veil (hijab) for Sayyidah Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with her), and he would allot her turn just as he allotted it to his other wives. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her and asked: "Is there anything to eat?" She said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we have nothing to eat except a bone of a sheep that was given to my freed slave-woman as charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring it near, for it has now reached its lawful place." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Khaybar, he (peace and blessings be upon him) chose Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) for himself. He (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with her seated behind him on his mount. Sayyiduna Anas says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) place his foot so that she could step on it and mount. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached Sadd al-Sahba', he spent the night there with her, and prepared "hays" (a mixture of dates, dried curd and ghee) on a leather mat, and ordered me, so I invited the people around. This was the wedding feast (walimah) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri says that Sayyidah Safiyyah was the daughter of Huyayy bin Akhtab bin Sa'yah bin Tha'labah bin Ubayd bin al-Khazraj bin Abi Habib bin al-Nadir bin al-Nahham bin Yanhum. Her lineage, from the Children of Israel, goes back to the tribe of Musa (peace be upon him). Her mother was Barrah bint Samaw'al, and she died in the time of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).
