The question about fosters mother of prophet PBUH is
Name the foster mother(s) of the Holy Prophet (SAW)?
A. Hazrat Halema (RA)
B. Hazrat Sobia (RA)
C. Hazrat Khola (RA)
D. All of them
answer choice is not the option D. as above mentioned. I researched and asked from many scholars and read the book on
THE FOSTER RELATIVES OF THE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W) WRITTEN BY: MUFTI MUHAMMAD KHAN QADRI
RENDERED INTO ENGLISH: MUHAMMAD SAQIB RAZA QADRI ATTARIhh
Why option D is wrong.
Firstly, There are only two fosters mothers of Holy prophet (S.A.W)
the first foster mother is HAZRAT SUWAIBA ( mispronounced as HAZRAT SOBIA) as your detaied answer itself says and 2nd foster mother was Halima saadia.
2nd . HAZRAT AMINA R.A was real mother of prophet (S.A.W) not foster mother Because If a child is reared and suckled by a woman other than the real mother, she is accorded the status of an additional mother called Umm Ridah (foster mother, or milk mother); her husband is treated as the father of the child, and her children real brothers and sisters prohibiting marriages with them. Thus, a woman who nurses a child (more than five times before the age of two years), becomes mother by milk-relation with special rights under Islamic law. The suckled child is considered as a full sibling to the foster-mother’s other children, and as mahram to the woman. Thus hazrat halima saadia and hazrat suwaiba only wet nurses or fosters mothers.
3rd. How fatima bint e Asad R.A was foster mother of prophet (S.A.W) . She just served the prophet (not suckled as per foster mother definition ), after age of 8 when ABDUL MUTLIB Died.
4rth. THE FOLLOWINGS ARE NOT THE FOSTER MOTHERS OF THE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W)
1.HAZRAT KHOLA BINT AL-MUNZIR UMM-E-BARDA ANSARIA
Imam Abu-Hassan Ibrahim bin Yahya known as Ibn-e-Alamin has discussed in „Zael-ul-Isteaab that Hazrat Khola bint Munzir has also gotten the honor to suckle the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). It is stated in „Tajreed „Al-Moorid and Al-Uyyun.
But Imam Muhammad bin Yusuf Al-Salihi has rejected it and said she is the foster mother of the son of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), Syeduna Ibrahim.
Hafiz Ibn-e-Hajr has also confirmed it in Al-Aasaba. “The lady who suckled the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) son, Hazrat Ibrahim (یضسhہنعhاللہ) is known as Umm-e-Bardah.
Imam Ibn-e-Abdul Bir has written the same; “Umm-e-Barda has suckled the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) son, Syeduna Ibrahim.
Probably, in some copies of the book, the word “Ibn” was skipped, thats why Ibn-e-Alamin got illusion.
Few days later, when I read a book written by Qazi Izzud Din bin Badr-ud-Din bin Jamaa named „Seerat-e-Mukhtasira. I excited to read these words; “To count her among the foster mothers is an illusion of Ibn-e-Alamin, however some scholars have followed him without any confirmation/ rejection.”
2. THREE LADIES OF BANU SALEEM
Hazrat Atika bint-e-Hilal (RA)
Hazrat Atika bint-e-Murrat (RA)
Hazrat Atika bint-e-Aoqas (RA)
Some seerat writers have also stated 3 ladies of Banu Saleem tribal as the foster mothers of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and have quoted these words of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) as an argument; “I am son of the ladies of Banu Saleem, whose name are „Aatika.” These have been narrated by Muhaddith Saeed bin Mansoor in his Sunan and Imam Tabrani in „Al-Muajjam ul Kabeer from Hazrat Shayyaba bin Aasim . Ibn-e-Aasakar has quoted from Hazrat Qatada R.A the following words of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) stated by Him in a battle; “I am Prophet, it is not a lie. I am son of Abdul Mutlib and I am son of those ladies whose names are „Aatika.”
MISCONCEPTION OF SEERAT WRITERS:
It is not correct to consider these ladies as the foster mothers of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) merely on the basis of these words. Because Imam Majd-ud-Din Ferozabadi (the author of „Qamoos), Johri (the author of „Sahah) and Imam Manawi has clarified that the ladies named „Aatika were in His parent hood. Sheikh Muhammad Aalvi Malki explained the above words; “There were three grand mothers of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), whose names were „Aatika.”
After writing this, He wrote their names as follow;
1. Aatika bint Hilal bin Falih bin Zakwan (the mother of Abd-e-Manaf)
2. Aatika bint Murrah bin Hilal (the mother of Hashim).
3. Aatika bint Al-Ooqas bin Murrah bin Hilal (the mother of Hazrat Aaminas father, „Wahab)
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri (ہنعhاللہhیضس) has explained this.
“Allama Manawi, the author of „Taeseer, Imam Majd-ud-Din Ferozabadi, the writer of Qamoos, Johri and Sanaani has stated 9 ladies in the parent hood of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), whose names were „Aatika. Ibn-e-Bari has stated 12 ladies, three from Banu-Saleem, and two from Aadwaniaat and one each from Kinaya, Assadia, Hazlia, Qaaeia and Azdia.” When it is evident that these ladies were His grand mothers then it is not correct to regard them as the foster mothers.
3. UMM-E-FARWA (R.A):
Sheikh Jaafar Al-Mustaghfiri has stated her in the foster mothers of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). A narration has been taken from him with the reference of Abu-Ishaq as follows; “It is stated from the foster mother of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), Umm-e-Farwa (R.A) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said; “When you repose on your bed, recite Surah Al-Kafiroon because it preserves you from „Shirk.”
Sheikh Abu Musa Al-Mudeni says there is contradiction about its narrator, some says that it is narrated by „Farwa and some says, Umm-e-Farwa but the last saying is Ghareeb‟ (i.e.poor, in other words only narrated by a single narrator).” Hafiz Ibn-e-Hajr states in „al-Asaaba that to consider this hadith as narrated by „Umm-e-Farwa is absolutely wrong rather it has been narrated by „Farwa bin Nofal.
4. HAZRAT UMM-E-AIMAN BINT BARKA BIN HAFS
The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) got her in inheritance from father/mother. It is popular that she did not suckle to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) but only served Him. But Imam Qurtbi has stated her among the foster mothers of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Many seerat writers have stated that His mother suckled Him first of all, then Hazrat Suwaibah and then Hazrat Halima. But some has stated it as; “first of all, His real mother suckled Him for 7 days then Hazrat Suwaibah, then Hazrat Umm-e-Aiman and at last Hazrat Halima (R.A) suckled Him.
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadri has also counted her among the foster mothers, he writes in his book, Shumool-ul-Islam that the name of the lady who suckled the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) (in His childhood) is Barka and her appellation is Umm-e-Aiman, derived from truth, rightness, power and she also got the honor to be a „Sahabia.”But Imam Zurqani writes; “It is famous that Umm-e-Aiman is counted among the ladies who served Him but not among those who suckled Him.”
The same words are narrated from Imam Muhammad bin Yusuf Al-Salihi.
When His real mother moved to Madina to meet her parents then besides the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), this lady (i.e. Umm-e-Aiman) was also with her in this journey. After staying there one month, when she moved back for Makkah, her sad demise took place at the place of „Abwa(near to „Mastoora) and she was buried there and Umm-e-Aiman brought the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) back to Makkah. Thats why The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) has stated in considering her as His mother; “She is my mother after my mother.
Therefore, it is correct that she is not the foster mother but a sworn mother.
