Question ------------------- did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) have a foster sister? Answer ------------------- In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu `alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) had two foster sisters: 1. Aasiya 2. Judaamah, also referred to as “Sheema”. Both foster sisters were the daughters of Haleemah al- Sa’diyyah, the foster mother of Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). According to historical narrations, the cavalry of Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alahi Wa Sallam) had overpowered the Hawaazin tribe. Hadhrat Judaamah (Radhiyallahu Anha) was taken as a captive, where after, she said: “I am the sister of your leader”. When they came to Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). She said to him: “Oh Muhammed! I am your sister”, Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) welcomed her, spread out his shawl for her, made her sit beside him while his eyes flowed with tears. Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) then said “If you so wish, you may reside by me with honor and love. And if you wish to return to your people, I shall escort you back home”. She replied: “In fact, I shall return to my people” .Thereafter, she accepted Islam and Rasullullah (Sallahllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) gifted her with three male slaves, one female slave and some livestock.[1] It is understood from the above narration that Hadhrat Judaamah (Radhiyallahu Anha) had accepted Islam upon the epic battle of Hunain in which the Hawaazin tribe were defeated by the Muslims.
