What is the authenticity of the story of the slave girl who threw her child into the sea, then saw another man trying to seduce her, so she prayed to God to intervene between her and him, whereupon a marine animal swallowed him, and she later found her child?
Ibn al-Jazari mentioned in his book "Al-Zahr al-Faih" the story of a slave girl who was circumambulating the Kaaba and saying: "O Most Generous, Your ancient covenant, for I abide by Your covenant." When she was asked about the covenant, she narrated a wondrous story that happened to her at sea. And Allah knows best the authenticity of this tale, as it is not among the narrated traditions with chains of transmission.
