Maymunah bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyyah (Arabic: مَيْمُونَة ٱبْنَت ٱلْحَارِث ٱلْهِلَالِيَّة, romanized: Maymūnah ibnat al-Ḥārith al-Hilālīyah; c. 594–671),[1] was the eleventh and final wife of Muhammad.

[2] Her original name was Barrah (Arabic: بَرَّة), which she changed to Maymunah—meaning "good tidings"—upon converting to Islam and marrying him, as his marriage to her marked the first time in seven years when he could enter his hometown of Mecca from Medina.

[4]: 201  Ibn Kathir also mentions a tradition that Zaynab bint Khuzayma (a wife of Muhammad) was another maternal half-sister.

Her dedication to family ties was also noteworthy; Aisha, praised Maymunah as one of the most pious and family-oriented among the wives of the Prophet.

[6] Maymunah narrated several hadiths, offering insights into the Prophet’s practices of worship and household life.

[8] Maymunah also played a significant role in the emancipation of slaves, often offering prayers for them before granting their freedom.
