Rayhana bint Zayd (Arabic: ريحانة بنت زيد, romanizedRayḥāna bint Zayd; died c. 631 CE) was a Jew from the Banu Nadir. Through marriage, she was also a part of the Banu Qurayza, another local Jewish tribe.[1][2] During the siege of Banu Qurayza in 627, she was widowed and taken captive by the early Muslims and subsequently became a concubine and according to some also a wife of Muhammad.[3][4][5][6] Their relationship produced no children and in 631 she passed on while in her home city of Medina.
