Juwayriyya bint Harith, may Allah be pleased with her, is the daughter of al-Harith, who was the chief of the Banu Mustaliq tribe. She got married to Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) in 5 AH. She was very beautiful and her marriage from Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) was a blessing to her whole tribe.
After the Banu Mustaliq tribe were swiftly defeated in the battel against the Muslims, beause of the Prophet's surprise attack on them, a lot of captives were taken. Among them was the beautiful Juwayriyya.
She was very afraid that once the Muslims realized who she was, they would demand a huge ransom for her safe release.
When the Muslims went back to Medina with their booty and prisoners, Juwayriyya asked to see Prophet Mohamed (PBUH), hoping that he would help to prevent what she feared.
She was permitted to see Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) 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?"
He then asked her to marry him, and she immediately accepted.
Although Juwayriyya was young and beautiful and of noble lineage, Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) was not thinking of all that, he was thinking of how to save her and all her tribe from an ignoble fate.
By marrying Juwayriyya, the Banu Mustaliq were able to enter Islam with honor, and with the humiliation of their recent defeat removed, and it was not necessary for them to embark on a war of vengeance that would have continued until one of the two parties had been annihilated.
All the booty that had been taken from the Banu Mustaliq was returned, and all the captives were set free, as soon as the marriage took place, for they were now the in laws of Prophet Mohamed (PBUH).
A'isha once said of Juwayriyya, "I know of no woman who was more of a blessing to her people than Juwayriyya bint al-Harith." After her marriage from Prophet Mohamed (PBUH), he changed her name which was Barra to Juwayriyya.
Juwayriyya has related, that early one morning the Prophet left her room while she was doing the dawn prayer. Later that morning he returned and found her still sitting in the same place.
"Have you been sitting in the same place since I left you?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied.
Prophet Mohamed then told her: "I recited four phrases three times after I left you, and if these were to be weighed against what you have been reciting since dawn, they would still outweigh them. They are: 'Glory be to Allah and Praise be to Him as much as the number of his creations, and His pleasure, and the weight of His Throne, and the ink of His words.'
" Which reminds us of the following ayat of the Qur'an:
Say: 'If the sea were the ink for the words of My Lord, truly the sea would be used up before the words of my Lord were completed, and even if We used the same again to assist. (Qur'an 18:109)
Juwayriyya lived with Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) for six years, until he died. She died in 50 AH at the age of sixty-five, after a long life of worshiping and aid to the Muslims.
