The affair of Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith
[ أَمْرُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ ] وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْيًا كَثِيرًا، فَشَا قَسْمُهُ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ؛ وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ أُصِيبَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ السَّبَايَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ضِرَارٍ، زَوْجُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبَايَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، وَقَعَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ فِي السَّهْمِ لِثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ، أَوْ لِابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ، فَكَاتَبَتْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً حُلْوَةً مُلَّاحَةً، لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ إلَّا أَخَذَتْ بِنَفْسِهِ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسْتَعِينُهُ فِي كِتَابَتِهَا؛ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُهَا عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي فَكَرِهْتهَا، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيَرَى مِنْهَا ﷺ مَا رَأَيْتُ، فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ضِرَارٍ، سَيِّدِ قَوْمِهِ، وَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي مِنْ الْبَلَاءِ، مَا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ، فَوَقَعْتُ فِي السَّهْمِ لِثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ، أَوْ لِابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ، فَكَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِي، فَجِئْتُكَ أَسْتَعِينُكَ عَلَى كِتَابَتِي، قَالَ: فَهَلْ لَكَ فِي خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَتْ: وَمَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَقْضِي عَنْكَ كِتَابَتكَ وَأَتَزَوَّجُكَ؛ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؛ قَالَ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ. قَالَتْ: وَخَرَجَ الْخَبَرُ إلَى النَّاسِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ضِرَارٍ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: أَصْهَارُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَأَرْسَلُوا مَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ؛ قَالَتْ: فَلَقَدْ أُعْتِقَ بِتَزْوِيجِهِ إيَّاهَا مِئَةُ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَمَا أَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهَا بَرَكَةً مِنْهَا قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَيُقَالُ: لَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَمَعَهُ جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ، وَكَانَ بِذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ، دَفَعَ جُوَيْرِيَةَ إلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَدِيعَةً، وَأَمَرَهُ بِالِاحْتِفَاظِ بِهَا، وَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ؛ فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُوهَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي ضِرَارٍ بِفِدَاءِ ابْنَتِهِ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِالْعَقِيقِ نَظَرَ إلَى الْإِبِلِ الَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا لِلْفِدَاءِ، فَرَغِبَ فِي بَعِيرَيْنِ مِنْهَا، فَغَيَّبَهُمَا فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ شِعَابِ الْعَقِيقِ، ثُمَّ أَتَى إلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَصَبْتُمْ ابْنَتِي، وَهَذَا فِدَاؤُهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: فَأَيْنَ الْبَعِيرَانِ اللَّذَانِ غَيَّبْتهمَا بِالْعَقِيقِ، فِي شِعْبِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَوَاَللَّهِ مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إلَّا اللَّهُ، فَأَسْلَمَ الْحَارِثُ، وَأَسْلَمَ مَعَهُ ابْنَانِ لَهُ، وَنَاسٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَ إلَى الْبَعِيرَيْنِ، فَجَاءَ بِهِمَا، فَدَفَعَ الْإِبِلَ إلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَدُفِعَتْ إلَيْهِ ابْنَتُهُ جُوَيْرِيَةُ، فَأَسْلَمَتْ: وَحَسُنَ إسْلَامُهَا؛ فَخَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إلَى أَبِيهَا، فَزَوَّجَهُ إيَّاهَا، وَأَصْدَقَهَا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ دِرْهَمٍ

✧ [The affair of Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith] The Messenger of God ﷺ had taken from them many captives, and their distribution among the Muslims spread. Among those taken as captives that day was Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith b. Abī Ḍirār, the wife of the Messenger of God ﷺ. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. al-Zubayr related to me, from ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ distributed the captives of Banū al-Muṣṭaliq, Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith fell to the share of Thābit b. Qays b. al-Shammās, or to a paternal cousin of his. She made a contract with him for her ransom. She was a sweet and beautiful woman; no one saw her but she captivated his soul. She came to the Messenger of God ﷺ to seek his help in her ransom. ʿĀʾishah said: By God, no sooner did I see her at the door of my chamber than I disliked her, knowing that he ﷺ would see in her what I saw. She entered upon him and said: O Messenger of God, I am Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith b. Abī Ḍirār, the chief of his people. Affliction has befallen me, as is not hidden from you, and I fell to the share of Thābit b. Qays b. al-Shammās, or to a paternal cousin of his. I made a contract with him for my ransom, and I have come to you seeking help with my ransom. He said: Would you like something better than that? She said: What is it, O Messenger of God? He said: I will pay your ransom and marry you. She said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: I have done it. She said: The news went out to the people that the Messenger of God ﷺ had married Juwayriyah, the daughter of al-Ḥārith b. Abī Ḍirār. The people said: The in-laws of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and they released what they had in their hands. She said: By his marrying her, a hundred households of Banū al-Muṣṭaliq were set free. I know of no woman who was greater in blessing upon her people than she. Ibn Hishām said: It is said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ returned from the expedition of Banū al-Muṣṭaliq with Juwayriyah bt. al-Ḥārith, and he was at Dhāt al-Jaysh, he handed Juwayriyah to a man of the Anṣār as a trust and ordered him to guard her, and the Messenger of God ﷺ arrived in Madinah. Her father al-Ḥārith b. Abī Ḍirār came with the ransom for his daughter. When he was at al-ʿAqīq, he looked at the camels he had brought for ransom and coveted two of them, so he hid them in a ravine of the ravines of al-ʿAqīq. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Muḥammad, you have taken my daughter, and this is her ransom. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Where are the two camels you hid in al-ʿAqīq, in such-and-such a ravine? Al-Ḥārith said: I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that you are Muḥammad, the Messenger of God. By God, none but God was aware of that. Al-Ḥārith became a Muslim, and with him two of his sons and people of his tribe became Muslims. He sent for the two camels and brought them, and handed over the camels to the Prophet ﷺ, and his daughter Juwayriyah was handed over to him. She became a Muslim, and her Islam was good. The Messenger of God ﷺ asked her father for her hand, and he married her to him, giving her a dowry of four hundred dirhams.
