Suwaiba (also Sowayba) was a Companion of Muhammad and his first foster-mother.^[1]

Her name means "Deserving of God's reward".^{[citation needed]}

Biography

She was the servant of Abu Lahab, Muhammad's paternal half-uncle.^[1]^[2] She was freed by Abu Lahab when she informed him that his brother Abdullah's wife Amina bint Wahb had given birth to a son, Muḥammad.^[3]

Thuwaybah became Muḥammad's first nurse,^[2] after his first three days with his mother, nursing both him and her son Masrah. Thuwaybah also nursed Abu Salama, Muhammad's first cousin, as well as Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, Muḥammad's paternal uncle, two years earlier: Muḥammad had said of Ḥamzah's daughter: "She is the daughter of my nursing brother."^[1]

Eventually, Halima bint Abi Dhu'ayb took over the task after a few days and nursed Muḥammad until he reached the age of weaning (around four years).^[1]

Thuwaybah became a Muslim when Muḥammad proclaimed his prophethood. Her son died before her, and she died in 7 AH (629 CE).^[1]
