Sirin bint Shamun

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].

According to the historian Ibn Saad, both sisters converted to Islam while on their way to Arabia with the encouragement of Hatib ibn Abi Balta'ah, who had been sent as a messenger to a governor of Egypt.^[2]

Sirin was married to the poet the Prophet MUHAMMAD (Peace be upon him) Hassan ibn Thabit, and bore a son, Abdurahman ibn Hassan.^[3]
