Have you ever heard about the first ever Muslim nurse?
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim!
The Battle that took place during the time of the prophet Muhammad SAW ( May Allah bless with him) the female companion would tend to the wound, bring water and take care of them, yet there was one lady who stood out during these time
She was Rufayda Al Aslamiyyah Radiyallahu anhu , she was form a family of medical expert from Banu Aslam of the khazraj ...her father Saad al Aslamiyyah was a physician...where she was able to gain knowledge regarding medical field. She was one of the first people in Madina to accept Islam.. after going knowledge about the medicine. She dedicated herself in servings the sick and taking care of orphan..
When Saad Ibn Muaath was injured in the Battle of Al-Khandaq (The Trench), Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ordered that he be placed and treated in her tent.
When the Muslim army was getting ready to go to the Battle of Khaibar, Rufaida and a group of volunteer nurses went to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) and asked him for permission to go with the army to the battle to treat the injured and help in any way that they could. Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) gave them permission to go with them. The nurse volunteers did such a good job that Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) assigned a share of the spoils of war to Rufaida. Her share was equivalent to that of the soldiers who had actually fought. This was in recognition of her medical and nursing work.
Rufaida Al-Aslamia introduced nursing to the Muslim world 1, 200 years before Florence Nightingale who is known as the founder of modern nursing.
