RUQAYQAH bint Sayfi is the niece of the Prophet's grandfather 'Abdul-Muttalib.
Ruqayqah was raised with Abdul-Muttalib, and she was older than him.
Her son Makhramah bin Nawfal said that his mother said, "It is as though I am looking at my uncle Shaybah (meaning Abdul-Muttalib bin Hashim) right now.
The day he came to us, I was a young girl.
I was the first person to go to him, and I clung close to him."
She embraced Islam, met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she was severe upon her son Makhramah before he embraced Islam.
Ruqayqah is the woman who warned the Prophet ﷺ that the Quraysh were planning to assassinate him.
She said:
Verily, the Quraysh have mobilized.
They intend to attack you tonight.
Thus, 'Ali bin Abi Talib took the place of the Prophet ﷺ in his place of sleeping.
