how many agree that jawairiya was one of the best mothers of islam?

Juwairiyah binti Harith, radhiyallahu anhaa, married the Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in Sha’baan, 5 Hijri when Our Rasool was fifty-eight years old and she was twenty, not long after his marriage to Zainab bint Jahash, and as a result of the Muslims ' successful campaign against the Banu Mustaliq who were swiftly defeated after the Prophet's surprise attack.

Before then she was married to Musaafi’ bin Safwaan who was not a Muslim and was killed in the very battle wherein she was captured.

Hazrat Juwairiyah was among the captives taken in this campaign. She was a very charming and sweet lady, and very beautiful. Anyone who saw her could not help being captivated by her charm and pleasant demeanour. Her father was Harith ibni Abi ZHiraar, who was the chief of the Banu Mustaliq.

Later on her father also embraced Islam. It is written that after this battle the prisoners were distributed among the soldiers, and Juwairiyah (radhiyallahu anhaa) fell to the lot of Thaabit bin Qais (or his cousin, according to some reports). Her father took along a number of camels as ransom for his daughter, hoping to buy her freedom. As he was on his way to Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), he decided to keep back two camels that he liked. So he hid the two camels in a valley just outside Madina and continued with the rest. When he arrived in the presence of Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) he presented the camels and asked that these be accepted in lieu of his daughter’s freedom. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked him: “And what about the two camels you hid in the valley?!?!” Haarith was totally flabbergasted. Immediately he uttered the Shahaadha and entered Islam, admitting that none besides Allah could have given information to the Messenger about these camels.

Meanwhile, Juwairiayh had made an agreement with her new master Thaabit to pay for her freedom. This was the famous Mukaatabat Contract in Islam in terms of which slaves could work and buy their freedom for a fixed sum of money. However, Juwairyah had no intention of working for her freedom. She had a better idea. She asked to see Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

In fact, she demanded to see the Prophet Muhammad, with the intention of asking him to help her with the ransom money. At that time The Messenger of Allah was in the house of Ayesha (Radhiyallahu anhaa). Seeing how beautiful she was, A'isha was not keen on her seeing the Prophet (for fear that he would propose marriage to her, thus bringing another rival into the equation)

But she persisted, and eventually she was permitted to see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and was taken to him while he was with A'isha. After she had finished speaking, the Prophet thought for a moment, and then said, "Shall I tell you what would be better than this?" She said, “And what is that Our Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “I pay your freedom money, and you marry me.”

She immediately accepted. Although Juwairiyah was young and beautiful and of noble lineage, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was thinking of how to save her and all her tribe from an ignoble fate. By marrying Juwairiyah, the Banu Mustaliq would be able to enter Islam with honor, and with the humiliation of their recent defeat removed, so that it would no longer be felt necessary by them to embark on a war of vengeance that would have continued until one of the two parties had been annihilated. As soon as the marriage was announced, all the booty that had been taken from the Banu Mustaliq was returned, and all the captives were set free, for they were now the in laws of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Thus A'isha once said of Juwairiyah, "I know of no woman who was more of a blessing to her people than Juwairiyah bint al-Harith." After they were married, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) changed her name from Barra to Juwairiyah.

Some are so enmeshed in their ignorance, that it drives them to the point of exhaustion while they use their meager intellect to abase the Truth. However, in a short while, we can safely deduce that these people may not be entirely normal and I sincerely doubt if they are wholly sane. “Verily those who invent a lie concerning Allah will not succeed.” X: 68-69, The Glorious Quran

But nonetheless, there is something irresistibly comical in their foolish gesture of being so simple in their fabrications. Truly, it is a known fact that the Truth may never be concealed.

Providence seems determined that the Truth shall always avail.

. But, is lying your nature? because you lie about Islam(did Jesus teach you that?) Muhammad told me to speak the truth, so I shall always speak the Truth.

tom.....dear brother just read QURAN in that age there were many companions of prophet (pbuh)...and as you know every person have different thoughts and different views about some one so there are many ahadith that we believe but some we not ..like shia brothers have their own schools of thought ,sunni have their own,and wahabis have their own ...some people misunderstood prophets sayings ..and as you know that 1400 years back there was no internet or any thing to save their thoughts or wives ..so ahadith came to us from one person and another ..so the one you have mentioned ..i can not say that it is true hadith are not ...but Muhammad (pbuh) was not only a prophet but he had to also take some political decisions ...so he married some of the women in that case .ARAB was a very mad country at that time .it was not civilized as it is today ....1400 years ago you cann;t imagin those people behaviour ....so some time Mohammad had to follow those Arab rules ..like arab had a rule in that time that if some one marries some girl or women in other city so they became friend of them so you know Muhammad (pbuh)was struggling to preach islam so he had to happy the people ..he can not voilate the rules of the ARAB .and again i would tell you that today the world has very changed at that time the world was not like this as we see it....there were many other problems ..even at that time USA was not even discovered ...hope you got the answer if not i will give you my email adress you can contact me there ..i will like to tell you every thing you want to seek ...i will try to answer your questions thanks salam.
