Sawda bint Zama ibn Qayyis ibn Abd Shams (Arabic: سودة بنت زمعة) was a wife of Muhammad, the final prophet in Islam and therefore a Mother of the Believers and one of the early converts to Islam.
Biography
She was of the Quraish tribe on her father's side. According to the traditions, she migrated to Abyssinia with her first husband, who became a Christian there and died when the couple returned to Mecca.[1]
Muhammad married Sawda one month after the death of his first wife Khadija upon suggestion of one of his companions. Muslim scholars disagree whether Muhammad married first Sawda or Aisha. Regardless, Muhammad did not consummate his marriage with Aisha for several years because she was too young, and lived with Sawda during that time.[1]
At some point, Sawda succeeded in persuading Muhammad not to divorce her. Muhammad favored young Aisha over old Sawda, but the latter stopped him in the street and implored to take her back. As an argument, she offered to gave her turn of Muhammad's visit to Aisha. The incident resulted in the revelation of verse [Quran 4:127] of the Qur'an.[1]
After Muhammad's death, Sawda received a gift of money, which she spent on charity. Muawiyah I, the first caliph of the Umayyad dynasty bought her house in Medina for 180,000 dirhams. She died in Medina in October 674.[1]
The name of her previous husband was Sakran, and she had a son from him named Abd al-Rahman ibn Sakran who fell a martyr fighting in the battle of Jalula [2]
