Hazrat Javayriya Bint-ul-Harith (r.a)

Hadhrat Juwairiah Bintul Harith (Radhiyallaho anha) was the daughter of Harith, the chief of Banu Mustaliq and was married to Musafe' bin Safwan.
She was one of the large number of captives who fell into Muslim hands after the battle of Muraisee' , and she was given to Hadhrat Thabit bin Qais (Radhiyallaho anho). he offered to release her for 360 Dirhams. She came to the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and said:

"O, Prophet of Allah! I am the daughter of Harith who is the chief of the tribe, and you know my story. The ransom demanded by Hadhrat Thabit (Radhiyallaho anho) is too much for me. I have come to seek your help in the matter."

The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) agreed to pay her ransom, set her free, and offered to take her as his wife. She was very glad to accept this offer. She was married to the Prophet in 5. A.H. and as a consequence of this marriage, the prisoners of Banu Mustaliq (Juwairiah's tribe), about a hubdred families, were all set free by the Muslims. "The tribe which was so honoured by the Prophet's relationship," they said, "should not remain in slavery."

Such were the noble expediences in all marriages of the Prophet. Hadhrat Juwairiah (Radhiyallaho anha) was very pretty, her face was very attractive. Three days before her falling captive in the battle, she had seen in her dream the moon coming out from madinah and falling into her lap. She says:

"When I was captured, I began to hope that my dream would come true."

She was 20 at the time of her marriage with the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). She died in Rabi-ul-Awwal. 50 A. H., in Madinah at the age of 65.
