٢١۔١ ذِكْرُ أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ فِي النِّكَاحِ، وَمَا أَبَاحَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ وَحَظَرَهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ زِيَادَةً فِي كَرَامَتِهِ وَتَبْيِينًا لِفَضْلِهِ

It was narrated that 'Ata' said: "We attended the funeral of Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet, with Ibn 'Abbas in Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'This is Maimunah; when you lift up her bier, do not rock it nor shake it. The Messenger of Allah had nine wives and he used to give a share of his time to eight of them and not to one.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3196)

حَضَرْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جِنَازَةَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِسَرِفَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذِهِ مَيْمُونَةُ إِذَا رَفَعْتُمْ جِنَازَتَهَا فَلَا تُزَعْزِعُوهَا وَلَا تُزَلْزِلُوهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «كَانَ مَعَهُ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ فَكَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِثَمَانٍ وَوَاحِدَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْسِمُ لَهَا»

The Prophet ﷺ used to visit all his wives in one night and he had nine wives at that time. (Using translation from Bukhārī 284)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَلَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ»

I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4788)

كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللَّائِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَقُولُ أَوَ تَهَبُ الْمَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ} [الأحزاب 51] قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى رَبَّكَ إِلَّا يُسَارِعُ لَكَ فِي هَوَاكَ

«تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ يُصِيبُهُنَّ إِلَّا سَوْدَةَ فَإِنَّهَا وَهَبَتْ يَوْمَهَا وَلَيْلَتَهَا لِعَائِشَةَ»

It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa'd said: "I was among the people when a woman said: 'I offer myself (in marriage) to you, O Messenger of Allah, see what you think of me.' A man stood up and said: 'Marry me to her.' He said: 'Go and find (something), even if it is an iron ring.' So he went, but he could not find anything, not even an iron ring. So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Do you have (memorized) any surahs of the Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes.' So he married him to her on the basis of what he knew of surahs of the Qur'an." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3200)

قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَ فِيهَا رَأْيَكَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ زَوِّجْنِيهَا فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاطْلُبْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ» فَذَهَبَ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ بِشَيْئٍ وَلَا بِخَاتَمٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَعَكَ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَزَوَّجَهُ بِمَا مَعَهُ مِنْ سُوَرِ الْقُرْآنِ»
