Sîrîn bint Sham'ûn was an Egyptian Coptic Christian concubine, sent with her sister Maria al-Qibtiyya as gifts to the Islamic prophet Muhammad from the Sassanid official Muqawqis in 628.[1]
Both sisters converted to Islam through the teachings of Hatib Ibn Abi Balta'a, who had been sent as a messenger to the Potiphar of Egypt.
Sirin was married to the poet Hassan ibn Thabit, and bore a son, Abdurahman ibn Hassan.[2]
