Hazrat Jawairiyah Bint Al
A
When the Muslims learned that Banu al-Mustaliq, Juwayriyah’s
tribe, was planning an assault on the Muslims, war broke out. The
Muslims defeated Banu al-Mustaliq’s and their ambitions to
distinguish the light of Islam. This defeat of her tribe drastically
changed how Juwayriyah (RA) saw her life going. After minimal
casualties, the Muslim forces were victorious. Among the many
captives was Juwayriya, whose husband, Mustafa bin Safwan, had
been killed in the battle. Juwayriyah fell into the share of Thaabit
ibn Qays al-Ansaari. so she agreed with Thaabit ibn Qays to buy
her freedom with nine Ooqiyah.” She approached the Prophet with
a ransom for herself to which her captor readily agreed. The
Prophet then proposed marrying her, and she, in turn, accepted.
