 == Immigration to Assyria, Egypt, and Palestine ==
-After the invitation of prophet Ibrahim (a) to monotheism in Babylonia, few people accepted his invitation; so, Ibrahim (a) immigrated to Assyria and stayed in Haran (present Harran in Turkey). After famine stroke and illnesses spread there, Sarah and her husband, Ibrahim (a) went to Egypt.<ref>Daqas, ''Nisāʾ fī l-Qurʾān al-karīm'', p. 110, 111.</ref> Ibrahim (a) put Sarah in a box to hide her beauty from strangers. When they wanted to enter Egypt, border guards asked him to open the box, and Ibrahim (a) did not accept first, but they insisted and so, he opened the box. When they saw Sarah's beauty, they reported it to the king of Egypt.<ref>Ibn Kathīr, ''al-Bidāya wa l-nihāya'', vol. 1, p. 150.</ref>

 === King's Treatment ===
 After the king received the report about Sarah's beauty, Ibrahim (a) was asked about Sarah's relation with him. He (a) knew that if he (a) told the king that she was his wife, the king would kill him and take Sarah, so he (a) said that she was his sister, but he meant his sister in faith. So, the king ordered to send Sarah to him. According to historical reports, Ibrahim (a) began praying and asked God for help after he (a) sent Sarah to the king. When the king of Egypt wanted to approach Sarah, his hand became numb, and he told Sarah to ask God to heal his hand and promised not to harm her. So, Sarah prayed, and the king's hand was healed; but, he broke his promise and approached her, and again his hand became numb and once then promised not to touch her if he was healed. The same happened three times.<ref>Ibn al-Athīr, ''al-Kāmil fī l-tārīkh'', vol. 2, p. 22, 23.</ref> The king learned that Sarah was not a normal woman and that he could not take pleasure from her; thus, he gave a bondwoman to Sarah called [[Hajar]] (Hagar) in addition to some other gifts.<ref>Maqdisī, ''al-Badʾ wa l-tārikh'', vol. 1, p. 441.</ref>
-According to [[Allama Tabataba'i]], the fact that Ibrahim introduced Sarah as his sister is not compatible with the position of [[prophethood]]. This is one of the contradictions of the current [[Torah]], which has also been included in [[Sunni]] historical and [[hadith]] sources. However, Allama Tabataba'i, referring to a hadith quoted from ''[[al-Kafi]], says that Ibrahim (a) introduced Sarah as his wife, and every time the king's hand became numb, it was Ibrahim's [[dua]] that healed the king's hand.
