Was Hajar a Slave?
May 6th, 2010 | Category: Prophet MuhammadNo she was a daugther of a king. The following is an exerpt from Wikipedia regarding what the Rabbanic (Jewish) Traditions say about her.
Rabbinical commentators asserted that Hagar was “Pharaoh’s daughter”. The midrash Genesis Rabbah states it was when Sarah was in Pharaoh’s harem that he gave her his daughter Hagar as slave, saying: “It is better that my daughter should be a slave in the house of such a woman than mistress in another house”; Abimelech acted likewise (xlv. 2). Sarah treated Hagar well, and induced women who came to visit her to visit Hagar also.
