The first woman to suckle the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was Thuwaybah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab. She suckled him for a few days with the milk of her son Masrooh before the arrival of Halimah. She had suckled Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib before the Messenger, and she suckled Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Asad al-Makhzumi after him.
