Question

Who was halima?why did she bring up Muhammad (PBUH)?

Answer 1

Islam promotes strong bonds between parents and the children which expands to even the wet nurses, serving the infants.

If a child is raised and suckled by a woman other than the own mother, she is conferred with the status of an additional mother called Umm Ridah (foster mother, or milk mother) and her husband is treated as the father of the child, and her children as own brothers and sisters.

Halima Saadia from Banu Saad tribe was daughter of Abdullah bin Harith and wife of Harith Abu Zowaib, opted for The Holy Prophet who still an infant when a group of ladies visited Mecca.

Muhammad who at that time was an-eight-day-old. She opted for this infant as his father, Abdullah, had died before his birth.
