Juwayriyyah bint al-Harith may Allah be pleased with her is the Mother of the Believers, Juwayriyyah bint al-Harith ibn Abi Dirar al-Khuza'iyyah al-Mustaliqiyyah, the daughter of the chief of Banu al-Mustaliq. Her name before Islam was Barrah, and the Prophet ﷺ changed it to Juwayriyyah. She was taken captive after the Expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq/al-Muraysi' in 5 AH, as is commonly held, and she had already contracted her freedom with Thabit ibn Qays may Allah be pleased with him. She came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking his help, and he offered to pay off her contract and marry her. She accepted, and so she became one of the Mothers of the Believers. This marriage had a great social effect, as the Muslims said, 'They are the in-laws of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' and they freed those captives of Banu al-Mustaliq they had in their possession. ʿAishah may Allah be pleased with her said of her meaning: I have never known a woman who was more blessed for her people than she was. Juwayriyyah may Allah be pleased with her was known for worship and much remembrance, and among her well-known reports is the Prophet ﷺ teaching her this dhikr: «Juwairiya reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to pass by her as she was observing her dawn prayer; or after she had observed her dawn prayer. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation that he said:" Hallowed be Allah according to the number of His creation, hallowed be Allah according to the pleasure of His Self, hallowed be Allah according to the weight of His Throne, hallowed be Allah according to the ink used in recording His words (Sahih Muslim, hadith 6914)».
