The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had four wet nurses: his mother Amina; Thuwayba, the freed slave of Abu Lahab; Halima al-Sa'diya; and a woman from Banu Sa'd who nursed Hamza along with him. Umm Ayman was not among his wet nurses; rather, she was his freed slave and governess whom he emancipated and married to Zayd ibn Haritha after his prophethood.
