The : "Her child emancipated her" was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said it concerning the mother of his son Ibrahim (Maria al-Qibtiyya), but Al-Albani declared it weak. The Prophet (peace be upon him) himself named his son Ibrahim, as narrated in Muslim: "Indeed, a child was born to me tonight, and I have named him after my father, Ibrahim." Maria was sent by Al-Muqawqis as a gift to the Prophet (peace be upon him). She embraced Islam and the Prophet (peace be upon him) married her. She gave birth to Ibrahim for him and passed away in the year 16 AH.
