It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen, Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the captives of Banu Mustaliq, Hazrat Juwayriya bint al-Harith came into the share of Thabit bin Qais bin Shamas or his cousin. Hazrat Juwayriya made a contract of emancipation (mukataba) with him. She was a very beautiful and attractive woman; whoever saw her would be captivated by her beauty. She came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek help in paying her contract of emancipation. By Allah, when I saw her standing at the door of my room, I felt uneasy, and I realized that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also notice her beauty and charm. She entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I am Juwayriya bint al-Harith, who was the chief of his people. The calamity that has befallen 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 emancipation with him regarding myself. Now I have come to you seeking help in paying off my contract." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you something better than that?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is that?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I will pay your contract and marry you." She agreed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did so. Meanwhile, the news spread among the people that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had married Juwayriya. People began to say, "These are now the Prophet's in-laws," so they freed their slaves. Thus, due to the blessing of this marriage, a hundred families of Banu Mustaliq were set free. I do not know of any woman who brought greater blessing to her people than her.
