Muslim apologists try to prove that Mariya Qibtiyyah (رضي الله عنها) was the wife of The Prophet ﷺ thereby trying to defend the honour of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.

However this is far from the truth and it is well established by proofs that Mariya Qibtiyyah was a slave girl of The Prophet ﷺ, and having a slave girl is not something disliked or prohibited.

Allah allows The Muslims to have slave girls (of course subjected to certain conditions):

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ

And those who guard their private parts

-Sura Al-Ma’arij, Ayah 29

إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

Except from their wives or those their right hands possessions, for indeed, they are not to be blamed –

-Sura Al-Ma’arij, Ayah 30

(Sahih International)

Right hand possesions are nothing but slave girls.

Careless story tellers and Khuttab mention the story below to prove the kindness and mercy the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came with, however we have many authentic stories to relate instead of lying upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and making a place for ourselves in the Hell Fire. May Allah protect and save us from the Hell Fire.

It goes that a Jewish woman in Mecca who would throw garbage on the doorstep of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in defiance of his message, and one day she fell sick and could not throw the garbage, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) visited her. Then it is said that she was so amazed at his character that she realized his prophethood and accepted Islam.

I tried asking the people (the Jumuah Khutaba) who narrated this fabrication and lie as to where they got it from, but to no avail.

Never could anybody present this story from any reliable source, i.e. Hadith books, one of those who claimed proofs for this presented nothing but a reference to a small story book on The Seerah of The Prophet ﷺ, which is again not an authority on the topic.

الحمد لله و الصلاة و السلام على رسول الله

Speakers,Khutaba, usually use this narration to show how dangerous it is to not be obedient to one’s mother.

“There is a hadeeth about a righteous man (Sahabi) who was called ‘Alqamah ; he was on his deathbed and had not uttered the kalimah (declaration of faith). Then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sent for his mother, who said that she was angry with him, because he used to favour his wife over her. Then after that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) gathered firewood and told his mother that he would burn her son before her very eyes. She said: O Messenger of Allah, he is my son and I cannot bear to see you burning him in front of me! The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “O mother of ‘Alqamah, the punishment of Allah is more severe and longer lasting. If you want Allah to forgive him, then forgive him (yourself). By the One in Whose hand is my soul, his prayer, fasting and zakaah will not benefit him so long as you are angry with him.” So the woman forgave her son, and after some time he died, after uttering the shahaadatayn (twin declaration of faith). The hadeeth says that after that, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) called out to the Muhaajireen and Ansaar, saying: “If one of you gives precedence to his wife over his mother, Allah, the angels and all the people will curse him, and Allah will not accept his charity or righteous deeds unless he repent to Allah, may He be exalted, and seeks the pardon and pleasure of his mother. Allah remains angry because of her anger.”

This story is a fabrication and a lie.

See Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid’s answer about the very narration.

Quote:

It was also mentioned in al-Mawdoo‘aat by Ibn ‘Iraaq (2/296), ash-Shawkaani (231), and al-Albaani (no. 3183); and by Shaykh Sulaymaan al-‘Alwaan in his essay, al-I‘laam bi Wujoob at-Tathabbut fi Riwaayat al-Hadeeth (p. 16-17).
