Hazrat Sheema (R.A) was the daughter of Hazrat Halima Saadia (R.A), the foster mother of the Prophet (PBUH). When the Prophet (PBUH) was entrusted to the Banu Saad tribe for his early upbringing, Hazrat Sheema (R.A) helped her mother in caring for the infant Muhammad (PBUH), making her his foster sister through suckling. She later embraced Islam and is remembered with great respect in Islamic history.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) spent his early childhood years with the Banu Saad tribe under the care of Hazrat Halima Saadia (R.A), who was his foster mother. Hazrat Sheema (R.A), whose full name was Sheema bint Harith, was Hazrat Halima's biological daughter and thus became the Prophet's foster sister. Years later, during the Battle of Hunain, Hazrat Sheema (R.A) was among the captives, and when she revealed her identity, the Prophet (PBUH) recognized her and treated her with great honor and kindness.
