[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided the captives from the sons of Mustalaq, Juwayriyah bint al-Harith fell to the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammass or the son of an uncle of his (i.e., one he treated like an uncle). She told him to write a contract of manumission for herself. She was a beautiful and graceful woman, not easy to be seen by anyone without taking his breath away. She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking for his help in writing the contract. Aisha said: "I swear by Allah, I did not like her when I saw her, for I thought that he would see in her what I saw. But when she spoke to him, she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am Juwayriyah bint al-Harith, and I have been afflicted with something that you know, and I have written a contract of manumission for myself, so help me in fulfilling it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Shall I do something better than that for you? I will pay off your contract for you and marry you.' She said: 'Yes.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did that, and the people heard that he had married her, so they said: 'The in-laws of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So they gave a hundred families of the sons of Mustalaq their freedom. I do not know of any woman who brought more blessing to her people than her."
