[Machine] Ghaylan ibn Salamah al-Thaqafi embraced Islam and he had nine wives. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to choose four of them to transmit the narration of Ibn Najiyah. In another narration of al-Nasa' I, Siraar ibn Mujashshir is mentioned instead. He said, "Ghaylan ibn Salamah had ten wives and they embraced Islam with him." Ibn Najiyah added in his narration, "When the time of 'Umar came, he divorced his wives and distributed his wealth. 'Umar said to him, 'Either you take back your wives and your wealth, or I will stone you to death like the grave of Abu Righal was stoned.' Abu 'Ali (may Allah have mercy on him), a reliable person from Basrah, said that Siraar ibn Mujashshir narrated this incident exclusively and he was a trustworthy person."
