Biography

[edit]

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]
