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.
