Islamic Timeline of RevelationOpen in flowchart →Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (RA)
جويرية بنت الحارث
Daughter of the chief of Banu al-Mustaliq, captured in 5 or 6 AH; her marriage to the Prophet ﷺ led to the release of many of her tribe. She was known for long devotions.
Biography
After the expedition against Banu al-Mustaliq, Juwayriyah came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking help with her ransom; he offered to pay it and marry her. When the companions heard, they freed their captives from her tribe, now in-laws of the Prophet; Aisha said no woman was a greater blessing to her people (Sunan Abi Dawud, graded hasan).
Sahih Muslim reports that the Prophet ﷺ taught her a brief dhikr ('Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi...') worth more than her long morning devotion.

Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's perspective
Methodological note (not a direct quote): Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza's widely known approach is to build narratives primarily on the Quran and Sahih Hadith, to set aside Israiliyat (Judeo-Christian lore absorbed into later tafsir) and weak or fabricated narrations, and to avoid sectarian framing. Applied to this node: Based on Sahih Muslim (dhikr) and Sunan Abi Dawud (marriage).
