ذِكْرُ عَدَدِ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي كَانَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِغُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ

ibnhibban:1208Ibn Khuzaymah > Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Muʿādh b. Hishām from my father > Qatādah > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it is reported that he used to visit his wives in a span of one hour, during the day or night, and he had eleven wives. So I asked Anas ibn Malik, "Was he able to do that?" He replied, "We used to say that he was given the strength of thirty men."  

ابن حبّان:١٢٠٨أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ «كَانَ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوِ النَّهَارِ وَهُنَّ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَكَانَ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ قُوَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ»

Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet ﷺ the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the Prophet ﷺ was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Saʿid said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).  

البخاري:٢٦٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُنَّ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ أَوَكَانَ يُطِيقُهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ قُوَّةَ ثَلاَثِينَ وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to visit his wives at the same time, whether during the day or night, and they were eleven in total. I asked Anas, "Could he handle that?" He said, "We used to say that he was given the strength of thirty."  

أحمد:١٤١٠٩حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit his wives during both the day and night hours, and they were eleven in number. I asked Anas, "Could he handle doing that?" He replied, "We used to say that he was given the strength of thirty men."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي السَّاعَةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُنَّ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ «هَلْ كَانَ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ «كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ قُوَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ»
