𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (46)

How the Prophet's wives reacted when he ﷺ married another woman Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: “When the Prophet ﷺ married Zaynab bint Jaḥsh he offered a wedding feast of bread and meat. I was sent to invite people to the meal; some people would come and eat, then leave, then more people would come and eat, then leave, I called people until I could no longer find anyone to invite, then I said: O Prophet of Allah, I cannot find anyone else to invite. He said: “Clear away the food.” Three people remained in the house, talking. The Prophet ﷺ went out and went to the apartment of ‘Aa’ishah, where he said: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ “Peace be upon you, O people of the household, and the mercy of Allah.” She said: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ، كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ أَهْلَكَ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ؟ And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah; how did you find your wife, may Allah bless you? He visited the apartments of all of his wives, one after another, and said to them the same as he had said to ‘Aa’ishah, and they responded as ‘Aa’ishah had responded. [Al-Bukhāri (4793) and Muslim (87)] The report narrated by Muslim says: He went around to his wives and greeted each one of them, saying: “Peace be upon you, how are you, O members of the household?” And they would say: “We are fine, O Messenger of Allah. How did you find your wife?” And he said: “Fine.” Al-Qurṭubi explained in Al-Mufhim (13/15): “He went around to the apartments of his wives to check on them, and console them, or to reassure them and deal with any feeling they might have because of his marriage to another woman. Hence they responded with kind words, by saying to him: How did you find your wife, O Messenger of Allah? The fact that they said such words on the night when this co-wife joined their number is indicative of their common sense, patience and good conduct, otherwise that was a time when women would ordinarily be angry and may behave foolishly. But they were pure and good.” [End quote] ➡️@womensbenefits
