Maria Qibtiyah itu Kristen Koptik. Yang Yahudi adalah Raihana dan Safiyya/Sophia.
Raihana adalah salah seorang tawanan Banu Quraiza. Ia jatuh menjadi bagian Muhammad. Kepadanya ditawarkan kalau-kalau ia bersedia menjadi orang Islam. Tetapi ia tetap bertahan dengan agama Yahudinya. Juga ditawarkan kepadanya kalau-kalau ia mau di kawini. Tetapi dia menjawab: "Biar sajalah saya dibawah tuan. Ini akan lebih ringan buat saya, juga buat tuan." Barangkali juga, melekatnya ia kepada agama Yahudi dan penolakannya akan dikawin, berpangkal pada fanatisma kegolongan, serta sisa-sisa kebencian yang masih tertanam dalam hatinya terhadap kaum Muslimin dan terhadap Nabi. Tetapi tidak ada orang yang bicara tentang kecantikan Raihana seperti yang pernah disebut-sebut orang tentang Zainab bt. Jahsy, sekalipun ada juga yang menyebutkan bahwa dia juga cantik. Buku-buku sejarah dalam hal ini berbeda-beda pendapat: Adakah ia juga menggunakan tabir seperti terhadap isteri-isteri Nabi, atau masih seperti wanita-wanita Arab umumnya pada waktu itu, yang memang tidak menggunakan tutup muka. Sampai pada waktu Raihana wafat di tempat Nabi, ia tetap sebagai miliknya. ... --------------------------------------------- S E J A R A H H I D U P M U H A M M A D oleh MUHAMMAD HUSAIN HAEKAL diterjemahkan dari bahasa Arab oleh Ali Audah Penerbit PUSTAKA JAYA Jln. Kramat II, No. 31 A, Jakarta Pusat Cetakan Kelima, 1980 Seri PUSTAKA ISLAM No.1 =========== Maria Qibtiyya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_al-Qibtiyya Maria al-Qibtiyya (Arabic: مارية القبطية) (alternatively, especially in non-Arabic traditions, "Maria Qupthiya"), or Maria the Copt, was a Coptic Christian slave who was sent as a gift from Muqawqis, a Byzantine official, to the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 628 CE. According to most Islamic accounts, she was Muhammad's wife. However, some scholars have claimed that she stayed as a concubine. She was the mother of Muhammad's short-lived son Ibrahim, who died in infancy. Maria never remarried, and died five years after Muhammad, in 637 CE. Maria and her sister sent from the Patriarch Tabari does, however recount the story of Maria's arrival from Egypt: In this year Hātib b. Abi Balta'ah came back from al-Muqawqis bringing Māriyah and her sister Sīrīn, his female mule Duldul, his donkey Ya'fūr, and sets of garments. With the two women al-Muqawqis had sent a eununch, and the latter stayed with them. Hātib had invited them to become Muslims before he arrived with them, and Māriyah and her sister did so. The Messenger of God lodged them with Umm Sulaym bt. Milhān. Māriyah was beautiful. The Prophet sent her sister Sīrīn to Hassān b. Thābit and she bore him 'Abd al-Rahmān b. Hassān. (p. 131) Many Muslim sources say that Muhammad later freed and married Maria, but it is not clear if this is historical fact or historical apology. Some Muslim traditions claim that Muhammmad offered to free Maria, but that she chose to remain a slave. To further complicate matters, slaves were to be automatically freed upon conversion to Islam, so it is not clear why Maria would have to be explicitly freed if she had already converted. The fact that Maria was not housed with Muhammad's other wives argues that she may have been a concubine. Muhammad lived in a humble mud-brick dwelling next to the Medina mosque, and each of his wives had her own mud-brick room, built in a line next to his. Maria, however, was lodged in a house on the edge of Medina. Maria is also not listed as a wife in some of the earliest sources, such as Ibn Hisham's notes on Ibn Ishaq's Sira (Guillaume 691–798). Muslim sources are unanimous in saying that she was accorded the same honor and respect given Muhammad's wives, pointing out that she was given the same title as Muhammad's wives — "Mother of the Believers."

Life She was married to Muhammad at the age of seventeen. The marriage occurred after the battle of Khaybar. She was the daughter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the chief of Jewish tribe Banu Nadir, who were earlier expelled from Medina for allegedly plotting to kill Muhammad. She was married to Kinana ibn al-Rabi'a before the Muslims attacked Khaybar. Her husband is said to have been killed in the battle. Before that she was the wife of Sallam ibn Mishkam, who had divorced her. She was with Muhammad for nearly four years before Muhammad died. She lived as a widow for the next thirty-nine years, dying at the age of sixty. According to Muslims, Muhammad married her to save her from becoming a slave after the defeat of her tribe in the battle of Khaybar. Controversy Several controversies surround Safiyya bint Huyayy Some non-muslim scholars believe that Safiyya's husband was captured, and that Muhammad had him tortured and executed, becoming betrothed to Safiyya the same day. [1] Muslims claim Muhammad married Safiyya to save her from becoming a slave after the defeat of her tribe in the battle of Khaybar. However, critics challenge this, claiming Muhammed could simply have declared her free, instead of consistently sanctioning the enslaving of women in wartime. Some critics also denounce the age difference of the marriage, since Muhammad was sixty years old at the time.
