Haleema as-Sa'diyyah (or Halimah), daughter of Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Shijnah as-Sa'diyyah of the tribe of Bana Sa'd ibn Hawazin nursed Muhammad until he reached the age of weaning. Thuwaybah, the servant of Abu Lahab, also nursed him while nursing her own son Masrah. This was before Halimah accepted the task.
