'''Ḥalīma al-Saʿdīyya''' (Arabic: حَلیمة السَعدیّة ) is the [[Prophet (s)|Prophet's (s)]] [[wet nurse]] and foster mother. She fed the Prophet (s) after Thuwayba. Soon after she started nursing the Prophet (s), many blessings showed up in her life. The Prophet (s) stayed in [[Banu Sa'd]] tribe until he was 4 or 5. Historians related the fabricated event of [[Shaqq al-Sadr]] to this period. The Prophet (s) respected Halima, and in several occasions helped her generously. | '''Ḥalīma al-Saʿdīyya''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حَلیمة السَعدیّة}}) is the [[Prophet (s)|Prophet's (s)]] [[wet nurse]] and foster mother.

Banu Sa'd suffered from a severe famine, so Halima and nine other women of the tribe headed to [[Mecca]] to make a living by wet-nursing children of wealthy tribes of Mecca. Due to poverty and famine her camel was very weak and skinny so she was left behind and consequently arrived late to Mecca. When she arrived, the grandson of [['Abd al-Muttalib]] was the only child left, because he was an orphan and they were afraid not to receive an appropriate fee.

Her milk that was barely enough for her own child, due to poverty, now was easily fed the Muhammad (s) and his son. Even her emaciated camel overflowed with milk and got so strong that she overtook other women on the way back to Mecca. While other wet-nurses were wondering about the reason of these sudden changes in her life, Halima believed that they were because of the child of [[Banu Hashim]], and she repeated that several times. | ||

When Muhammad (s) was 2, she weaned him and took him to [[Mecca]] to his mother, [[Amina bt. Wahb]]. Since the child Muhammad caused Halima's herd of sheep to be more productive than any other's in Banu Sa'd, she preferred to keep the child with her. Eventually, at her insistence and also because of the outbreak of cholera in Mecca; Amina was convinced to let Halima take care of her baby again for a few more years. | When Muhammad (s) was 2, she weaned him and took him to [[Mecca]] to his mother, [[Amina bt.

It is said that when Muhammad (s) was living with Halima, a strange incident happened to the child Muhammad (s), which is known as "Shaqq al-Sadr" (split of the chest). Man-like [[angel]]s dressed in white appeared, split his chest, took a dark clot out of his heart, washed it in a gold tub, put it back in his chest and then healed his chest. His foster brother, who witnessed this in a valley near their house, informed Halima frantically. | It is said that when Muhammad (s) was living with Halima, a strange incident happened to the child Muhammad (s), which is known as "Shaqq al-Sadr" (split of the chest).

A few years after [[Muhammad (s)]] married [[Khadija (a)]], Halima went to him in Mecca complaining about the difficulties of life. The Prophet (s) talked with Khadija about her and Khadija gave her some sheep and camels. After emergence of [[Islam]], Halima and her husband came to the Prophet (s), converted to Islam and swore [[Bay'a|allegiance]] to him. Sometimes, when Halima visited the Prophet (s), he laid his cloak on the ground –as a sign of respect-, so that she would sit on it. | A few years after [[Muhammad (s)]] married [[Khadija (a)]], Halima went to him in Mecca complaining about the difficulties of life.

According to one narration, Halima passed away before the [[Conquest of Mecca]] by Muslims in [[Ramadan]] [[8]]/January 630. After the conquest of Mecca when Prophet (s) visited Shayma' –his foster sister- asked her about Halima and she told him that she has passed away. Prophet's (s) eyes filled with tears as he heard the news and then asked about her next of kin. Afterward, Shayma' asked him a favor and the Prophet (s) fulfilled her request. | According to one narration, Halima passed away before the [[Conquest of Mecca]] by Muslims in [[Ramadan]], [[8]]/January, 630.
