I embraced Islam while I had eight wives. So I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet (said) said: Select four of them. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated to us by Ahmad b. Ibrahim from Hushaim. He said: Qais b. al-Harith instead of al-Harith b. Qais. Ahmad b. Ibrahim said: This is correct, i.e. Qais b. al-Harith.  

أبو داود:٢٢٤١حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ حُمَيْضَةَ بْنِ الشَّمَرْدَلِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ ابْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ وَقَالَ وَهْبٌ الأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ

أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي ثَمَانُ نِسْوَةٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَحَدَّثَنَا بِهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ قَيْسُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ مَكَانَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هَذَا الصَّوَابُ يَعْنِي قَيْسَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ
