أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَايَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَقَعَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ فِي السَّهْمِ لِثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، أَوْ لِابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ، فَكَاتَبَتْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً حُلْوَةً مُلَاحَةً لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَخَذَتْ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْتَعِينُهُ فِي كِتَابَتِهَا. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُهَا فَكَرِهْتُهَا، وَقُلْتُ: سَيَرَى مِنْهَا مِثْلَمَا رَأَيْتُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ سَيِّدِ قَوْمِهِ، وَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ، وَقَدْ كَاتَبْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى كِتَابَتِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أُؤَدِّي عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ وَأَتَزَوَّجُكِ؟ ". فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَلَغَ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَهَا، فَقَالُوا: أَصْهَارُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا مَا كَانَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَلَقَدْ أُعْتِقَ بِهَا مِائَةُ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ، فَمَا أَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهَا عَلَى قَوْمِهَا ".
Urwah narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the captive women of Banu al-Mustaliq, Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) fell to the share of Thabit bin Qays bin Shammas or his cousin. She made a contract of manumission (mukatabah) for herself. She was a very sweet and beautiful woman; whoever saw her was captivated by her. She asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for help with her contract of manumission. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: By Allah! I did not like her, and I said (to myself): He will see in her what I have seen. When she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), she said: I am Juwayriyah bint al-Harith, the daughter of the chief of my people; a calamity has befallen me which is not hidden from you. I have made a contract of manumission; help me with it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Or something better than that: I pay your contract on your behalf and marry you?" She said: Yes! So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did so. When the people learned that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had married her, they freed (the captives of) Banu al-Mustaliq, the in-laws of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and thus a hundred households of Banu al-Mustaliq were freed because of her. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I do not know of any woman who was a greater source of blessing for her people than her.
