Two slave girls whom the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, married. Who are they?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not marry two slave girls while they were still in a state of slavery. Rather, he married free women who had previously been enslaved and then emancipated them. These were: Juwayriyyah bint Al-Harith and Safiyyah bint Huyayy. As for his female slaves with whom he cohabited through ownership by the right hand, it is said there were four: Mariyah al-Qibtiyyah, Rayhanah from Banu Qurayzah, a third slave girl from the captives, and a slave girl gifted to him by Zaynab bint Jahsh.
