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

[AI] That Ghailan ibn Salama accepted Islam and had ten wives, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to choose four of them.

أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَسْلَمَ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ «فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا»

أَنَّ غَيْلانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَسْلَمَ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيّ ﷺ أن يختار منهن أربعا

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2241)

أَسْلَمَ جَدِّي وَعِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا أَيَّتَهُنَّ شِئْتَ

" عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ: أَنَّهُ أَسْلَمَ وَعِنْدَهُ ثمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا".

"أَنَّ غَيْلاَنَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَسْلَمَ وَعِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِى نِسْوَةٍ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا".
