Getting to Know the 10 Wet Nurses of Prophet Muhammad (SAW): Stories, History, and Their Blessings

Back in the day, Arab society had this tradition of sending babies off to Bedouin women to keep them away from the bad stuff in cities and diseases. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was also sent away and nursed by several women when he was little. Sheikh Al-Burhan in his book Syarh ‘ala Al-Mawahib Al-Laduniyyah lists 10 women who nursed the Prophet, including his own mom, Sayyidah Aminah bint Wahb, Tsuwaibah Al-Aslamiyah, and Halimah As-Sa'diyyah. Halimah felt all sorts of blessings while taking care of the Prophet, like loads of milk and fertility in the Bani Sa’d region. The other wet nurses include a woman from Bani Sa’d who also nursed Sayyidina Hamzah, Ummu Aiman, three women from Bani Sulaim, Ummu Farwah, and Khaulah bint Mundzir Al-Anshariyah-though some scholars disagree on whether some of them were actually the Prophet's wet nurses. https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibrah/mengenal-10-ibu-susu-nabi-muhammad-saw-ini-kisah-sejarah-dan-keberkahannya

Subhanallah, 10 wet nurses. I just found out that besides Halimah and Tsuwaibah there are others. Thanks for the knowledge.

It was beautiful-until the Bani Sa'd region became fertile. A blessing from the noble figure of the Prophet.

It's really unique, the tradition of leaving babies with the Badui. The environment really does have a huge influence on a child's development, huh.

Breastfeeding tradition really forms a strong bond, doesn't it. No wonder in Islam, the milk kinship becomes mahram.

Ummu Aiman was also a wet nurse? I thought she was just a caregiver. Islamic history never fails to amaze.
