Mariya Al-Qibtiya was one of the concubines/sex slaves of the prophet Muhammad. According to the [[sira]] she was sent to Muhammad as a gift from the Christians of Egypt. According to the [[hadith]] and the [[sirah]] her beauty incited the jealousy of Muhammad's wives, in particular Hafsa and [[Aisha]]. The jealousy they had of her and Muhammad's response was actually the [[Asbab An-Nuzul|cause]] of the "revelation" of some Qur'an verses according to the tradition. Although she bore the prophet a son who later died, the prophet never married her. The traditional sources compare her concubinage to that of Hajar to Ibrahim, based upon the fact that, according to the tradition, the closest person to Muhammad was the prophet Ibrahim. According to classical Islamic sources, had her son Ibrahim lived, he too would have been a prophet. | Mariya Al-Qibtiya was one of the concubines/sex slaves of the prophet Muhammad.
