    QuizTime(134) Who was  first woman  suckled by Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) after his mother ?

 

 

Ans:   “Thuyebah” the freed slave of Abu Lahab.

 

The first woman who suckled him after his mother was Thuyebah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab, with her son, Masrouh. She had suckled Hamzah Ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib before, and later Abu Salamah Ibn ‘Abd Al-Asad Al-Makhzumi.

 Narrated Um Habiba: (daughter of Abu Sufyan) I said, O Allah's Apostle! Marry my sister. the daughter of Abu Sufyan. The Prophet said, Do you like that? I replied, Yes, for even now I am not your only wife and I like that my sister should share the good with me. The Prophet said, But that is not lawful for me. I said, We have heard that you want to marry the daughter of Abu Salama. He said, (You mean) the daughter of Um Salama? I said, Yes. He said, Even if she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry as she is my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled by Thuwaiba. So you should not present to me your daughters or your sisters (in marriage). Narrated 'Urwa:Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted, and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, What have you encountered? Abu Lahb said, I have not found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba.

[Bukhari Hadith 5101]

It was the general custom of the Arabs living in towns to send their children away to bedouin wet nurses so that they might grow up in the free and healthy surroundings of the desert whereby they would develop a robust frame and acquire the pure speech and manners of the bedouins, who were noted both for purity of their language and for being free from those vices which usually develop in sedentary societies.

The Prophet (pbuh) was later entrusted to Haleemah bint Abi Dhuaib from Bani Sa‘d Ibn Bakr. Her husband was Al-Harith Ibn ‘Abdul ‘Uzza called Abi Kabshah, from the same tribe.

Muhammad (pbuh)  had several foster brothers and sisters, ‘Abdullah Ibn Al-Harith, Aneesah bint Al-Harith, Hudhafah or Judhamah bint Al-Harith (known as Ash-Shayma’), and she used to nurse the Prophet (pbuh)  and Abu Sufyan Ibn Al-Harith Ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib, the Prophet’s cousin. Hamzah Ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib, the Prophet’s uncle, was suckled by the same two wet nurses, Thuyeba and Haleemah As-Sa‘diyah, who suckled the Prophet (pbuh).
