bio: |
  Māriyya bint Shamʿūn came from Hebenu, a village near Antinoöpolis in Coptic Egypt. In 628, during the Sasanian occupation, the Christian governor of Alexandria, Al-Muqawqis, sent her and her sister Sirin to Muhammad as slaves. She moved to Medina and gave birth to Ibrahim, Muhammad's son, though the child died at two years old. Whether she was ever freed and married or remained a concubine is still debated. She died in 637, nearly five years after her son.
