39. Marriage

٣٩۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ

39.27 [Machine] What is permissible for him concerning women is no more than four. Allah, exalted and blessed be He, said: "Indeed, We have made lawful to you, your wives" [Surah Al-Ahzab: 50] until His saying: "Exclusively for you from the believers" [Surah Al-Ahzab: 50]. So, He made it permissible for him to marry with his wives and to have in addition a fixed number of women who do not have husbands on the day that they are made lawful for him, from the daughters of his paternal uncles, the daughters of his maternal uncles, the daughters of his paternal aunts, and the daughters of his maternal aunts who migrated with him.

٣٩۔٢٧ بَابُ مَا أُبِيحَ لَهُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ} [الأحزاب: 50] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {خَالِصَةً لَكَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [الأحزاب: 50]، فَأَحَلَّ لَهُ مَعَ أَزْوَاجِهِ وَكُنَّ ذَوَاتِ عَدَدٍ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ بِزَوْجٍ يَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَهُ مِنْ بَنَاتِ عَمِّهِ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّاتِهِ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِهِ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِاتِهِ اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah used to visit his wives day and night, and they were eleven in number. I asked Anas, "Could he afford to have relations with all of them?" Anas replied, "We used to say that he was given the strength of thirty men." This is the wording of the hadith of Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, and its meaning is also mentioned in the hadith of Ibn Bashshar. In another narration by Ibn Al-Muthanna, it states the strength of forty men. Anas also said, "He [the Prophet] used to visit his wives during the day and night."

[Machine] That the Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to visit his wives in one night, and at that time he had nine wives.
