Sirin (Islamic history)

Sirin (Islamic history)

Sirin was an Egyptian Coptic Christian who became one of Muhammad's slaves. She and her sister Maria al-Qibtiyya were sent to Muhammad as gifts from the Byzantine official Muqawqis in 628. [Ibn Ishaq, "The Life of Muhammad", p. 653.] Muhammad kept Maria as a wife or concubine and gave Sirin to his follower, the poet Hassan ibn Thabit. Hassan and Sirin had a son, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hassan. [Tabari, p. 131.]
