ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ captured the prisoners of Banu al-Mustaliq, Juwayriyah bint al-Harith fell into the portion of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammash or his cousin. She wrote a contract for her freedom and she was a very beautiful woman whom hardly anyone could resist. She went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his assistance in the matter. By Allah, it was not long before she stood by the door of his room and I disliked her for that, and I knew that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would see in her what I saw. Juwayriyah said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is something you may not know about, so I wrote a contract for myself and came to you seeking your help." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Is there anything better than that?" She asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I will marry you and pay off your contract." She said, "Yes." He said, "I have done so." When the news reached the Muslims, they said, "The Messenger of Allah's in-laws" and they immediately released the prisoners they had from Banu al-Mustaliq. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ indeed emancipated a hundred families of Banu al-Mustaliq through marrying Juwayriyah. She said, "I do not know of any woman who brought greater blessing to her people than me."
لَمَّا سَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبَايَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَقَعَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ فِي سَهْمٍ لِثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ أَوْ لِابْنِ عَمِّهِ فَكَاتَبَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً حُلْوَةً لَا يَكَادُ يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَخَذَتْ بِنَفْسِهِ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسْتَعِينُهُ فِي كِتَابَتِهَا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ وَقَفَتْ عَلَى بَابِ الْحُجْرَةِ فَرَأَيْتُهَا كَرِهْتُهَا وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَيَرَى مِنْهَا مَا رَأَيْتُ فَقَالَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا قَدْ عَرَفْتَ فَكَاتَبْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْتَعِينُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَوَ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ » فَقَالَتْ وَمَا هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ «أَتَزَوَّجُكِ وَأَقْضِي عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ» فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «قَدْ فَعَلْتُ» فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا أَصْهَارُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلُوا مَا كَانَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ سَبَايَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَلَقَدْ عُتِقَ بِتَزْوِيجِهِ مِائَةُ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ قَالَتْ «فَمَا أَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً عَلَى قَوْمِهَا مِنْهَا» *
