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.
أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي ثَمَانُ نِسْوَةٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا
“I became Muslim and I had eight wives. I went to the Prophet and told him about that. He said: 'Choose four of them.' ”
أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي ثَمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا

أَسْلَمَ جَدِّي وَعِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا أَيَّتَهُنَّ شِئْتَ
"عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الأَسَدِىِّ قَالَ: أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِى ثَمَانِىَ نِسْوَةٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا".
