Prophet Of Islam, Mohammed, had 30 wives
pls_e...@yahoo.com
From the website: www.answering-islam.org, I found the 30 WIVES of
Mohammed- one of the wives named Khadija was a old woman mentioned in
the haddith and was old enough to be Mohammed' mother, and another one
wife named Aisha was a baby girl 6, young enough to be the great,
great, great grand-daughter of Mohammed- WHICH CONFIRMED MY SAYING
THAT MOHAMMED HAD MORE THAN 11 WIVES AS TRUE listed as follows:
Ali Dashti missed at least nine possible other wives.
Mohammed married 15 women and consummated his marriages with 13. (al-
Tabari vol.9 p.126-127)
Bukhari vol.1 Book 5 ch.25 no.282 p.172-173 said that [at one time]
Mohammed had nine wives.
Following is a short description of the hadiths and early Muslim
historians say about the wives of Mohammed.
1. Khadija/Khadijah
(pronounced ka-DI-ja) bint Khuwailid/Khuwaylid Sahih Muslim vol.4
book
29 no.5971-5972 p.1297 died three years before 'A'isha married
Mohammed. She is mentioned in Bukhari vol.5 book 58 no.164,165 p.103.
The full name of Mohammed's first wife was Khadijah, daughter of
Khuwaylid bin Asad bin. 'Abd al-'Uzza bin Qusayy. al-Tabari vol.39 p.
3
Mohammed was 20-some years old when he married Khadijah, a widow. al-
Tabari vol.9 p.127.
'Aisha says that Khadija took Mohammed to a Christian convert who
used
to read the Gospels in Arabic. Bukhari vol.4 book 55 ch.17 no.605 p.
395
A'isha was jealous of Khadija. "On that, the Prophet remembered the
way Khadija used to ask permission, and that upset him. He said, 'O
Allah! Hala!' So I [A'isha] became jealous and said, 'What makes you
remember an old woman amongst the old women of Quraish an old woman
(with a teethless mouth) of red gums who died long ago, and in whose
place Allah has given you somebody better than her?'" Bukhari vol.5
book 58 no.168 p.105
2. Sauda/Sawda bint Zam'a/Zam'ah
Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 8 no.3451 p.747; Bukhari vol.3 book 34 ch.4
no.
269 p.154; vol.3 no.853 p.29; Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 7 no.2958 p.
651;
Sahih Muslim vol.2 footnote 1918 p.748 says that probably 'Aisha was
married to Mohammed before Sauda, but 'Aisha did not enter Mohammed's
house until after Sauda was married to Mohammed.
There is disagreement about whether Mohammed consummated the marriage
with Sauda or A'isha next, but al-Tabari vol.9 p.128-129 says it was
Sauda.
Sauda's ex-husband, al-Sakran b. 'Amr b. 'Abd Shams became a
Christian
in Abyssinia and died there. al-Tabari vol.9 p.128
Physically, 'Aisha called Sauda "a fat huge lady". Bukhari vol.6 book
60 ch.241 no.318 p.300
When Sauda was old she was afraid Mohammed would divorce her, so she
gave her turn to 'A'isha. Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2130 p.572
Sauda is also mentioned in al-Tabari vol.39 p.169.
3. 'A'isha
A'isha was Abu Bakr's daughter. Her moth was named Umm Ruman
according
to al-Tabari vol.9 p.129. She married Mohammed when she was (six) 6
years old, went to his house when (nine) 9. Bukhari vol.7 book 62 ch.
60 no.88 p.65; Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 8 no.3309,3310,3311 p.715,716
Contrary to this marriage being important for political reasons, Abu
Bakr was the first convert to Islam.
This wife of Mohammed is mentioned in many places, including Sahih
Muslim vol.1 book 4 no.1694 p.372; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.1176 p.305;
vol.
1 no.1268 p.335; vol.1 no.1330 p.350; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.1336 p.351;
vol.1 no.1419 p.373; vol.2 no.2382 p.654.
'Aisha played with dolls while Mohammed was present. Sahih Muslim
vol.
4 book 29 no.5981 p.1299
'Aisha was 6 (or 7) years old when she was married, and the marriage
was consummated when she was nine years old. al-Tabari vol.9 p.
130,131
A'isha was married when she was six years old, and nine when she went
to Mohammed's house. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1876 p.133
A'isha was seven years old when she married, nine years old when she
lived with Mohammed, and 18 years old when he died. (not Sahih) Ibn-
i-
Majah vol.3 no.1877 p.134
A rationale trying to explain why Mohammed married such a young girl
is given in Sahih Muslim vol.2 footnote 1859 p.715. It says that "it
was some exceptional circumstances that Hadrat 'A'isha was married to
the Prophet... The second point to be noted is that Islam has laid
down
no age limit for puberty for it varies with countries and races due
to
the climate, hereditary, physical and social conditions." They also
mention support from the disreputable Kinsey report on Sexual
Behaviour in the Human Female.
Mohammed himself once deliberately struck 'Aisha "on the chest which
caused me pain", according to Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 4 ch.352 no.
2127
p.462.
There was other discord too. One incident, started by A'isha was so
bad, Mohammed kept away from his wives for a month 29 days) Ibn-i-
Majah vol.3 no.2060 p.241. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.2063 p.243. This is
the context of Sura 50:1.
A'isha's Slaves
'A'isha had at least one servant who cooked for her during the time
of
the delegation from Banu'l Muntafiq. Abu Dawud vol.1 no.142 p.34
A'isha had a male Muslim slave she later freed named Abu Yunus. Sunan
Nasa'i vol.1 no.475 p.340
A'isha had a slave girl. Abu Dawud vol.1 no.371 p.96
Barirah was a female slave of A'isha's, whom she later freed. Abu
Dawud vol.2 no.2223 and footnote 1548 p.601
A'isha was quick-tempered too, striking the hand of a servant and
breaking a bowl of food from another wife for Mohammed. Abu Dawud
vol.
2 no.3560-3561 p.1011
'A'isha had a strong, loud voice. al-Tabari vol.17 p.65
'Aisha reluctantly freed many slaves due to a broken vow. "He [Ibn
Az-
Subair] sent her ['Aisha] ten slaves whom she manumitted [freed] as
an
expiation for (not keeping) her vow. 'Aisha manumitted more slaves
for
the same purpose till she manumitted forty slaves. She said, 'I wish
I
had specified what I would have done in case of not fulfilling my vow
when I made the vow, so that I might have done it easily.'"(1)
Footnote (1) says, "'Aisha did not specify what she would do if she
did not keep her promise, this is why she manumitted so many slaves
so
that she might feel at ease as to the adequacy of her expiation."
Bukhari vol.4 book 56 ch.2 no.708 p.465.
Just how many slaves did 'Aisha have? Or how much money did she have
to buy forty slaves? The hadiths do not say. The only two clue I have
found are
1) Mohammed's wives could command for tents to be set up. Ibn-i-Majah
vol.3 no.1771 p.67.
2) One-fifth of the war booty went to the Muslim treasury, and
Mohammed could take of that for he and his wives. Sahih Muslim vol.2
no.2347,2348; vol.2 footnote 1463 p.519; Bukhari vol.4 book 51 ch.80
no.153 p.99; vol.6 book 60 ch.297 no.407 p.379
A'isha and the Battle of the Camel
'Aisha originally supported those who wanted to kill 'Uthman. She
claimed 'Uthman became a disbeliever. However, after 'Uthman's murder
she changed her mind and wanted to avenge 'Uthman's killers. Another
Muslim called her to task for that. al-Tabari vol.17 p.52-53
After this, Mu'awiyah had Mohammed bin Abu Bakr executed for
murdering
'Uthman, then put his body in the carcass of a donkey, and then
burned
the donkey in 38 A.H.. A'isha mourned her half-brother greatly and
made extra prayers for him. al-Tabari vol.17 p.158
4. 'Umm Salama
'Umm Salama bint Abi Umayyah (discussing intimate things with the
apostle) Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.2455 p.540
Umm Salamah's real name was Hind bint Abi Umayyah bin al-Mughirah bin
'Abdallah bin 'Umar bin Makhzum. al-Tabari vol.9; p.133; vol.39 p.
175.
Um/Umm Salaim/Salama (not said to be a wife) Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.
2992 p.656; vol.2 no.3445 p.746; wife Bukhari vol.4 book 53 ch.4 no.
333 p.216; Bukhari vol.7 book 62 ch.34 no.56 p.40. Ibn-i-Majah vol.2
no.1634 p.473; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.383 p.99. Mohammed was married to
Umm Salama, widow of Abu Salama (died 4 A.H. in Abyssinia). Al-Tabari
vol.39 p.175. Umm Salama died when in 59 H. when she was 84 years
old.
Sahih Muslim vol.2 footnote 1218 p.435. Umm Salama was pregnant when
Mohammed married her, and her daughter was Zainab bint Abu Salama
(Sahih Muslim vol.2 no. 3539-3544 p.776-777. (This is the same girl
as
Zainab bint Umm Salama)
This wife of Mohammed is mentioned in Abu Dawud vol.1 no.274 p.68;
vol.
3 no.4742 p.1332; vol.2 no.2382 p.654; Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 no.240 p.
228; Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1779 p.72; al-Tabari vol.17 p.207; al-
Tabari
vol.39 p.80
'Umm Salamah had a son before she married Mohammed. Her son went with
A'isha, al-Zubayr, and Talhah. al-Tabari vol.17 p.42
Clients of Umm Salamah were Nabhan (=Abu Yahya) and Ma'in bin
Ujayl(=Abu Qudamah) al-Tabari vol.39 p.320
5. Hafsa/Hafsah
The daughter of 'Umar bin Khattab is mentioned in Sahih Muslim vol.2
no.2642 p.576; vol.2 no.2833 p.625; vol.2 no.3497 p.761; Abu Dawud
vol.
2 no.2448 p.675; vol.3 no.5027 p.1402. She was the daughter of 'Umar
bin al-Khattab. She was the 18-year old widow of Khunais when she
married Mohamed in 625 A.D. She was born in 607 A.D., and died either
647/648, 661/662, or 665 A.D. She is also mentioned as a wife in Ibn-
i-
Majah vol.3 no.2086 p.258
After Hafsa's husband died of wounds received at Uhud, Hafsa's father
thought of her marrying 'Uthman, but 'Uthman declined because he knew
Mohammed wanted to marry her. They married in 3 A.H. She was four
years older than 'A'isha. Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 #32 p.117. Thus Mohammed
did not marry her just to provide for her. Rather he married someone
who otherwise would have been married to someone else.
'Umar told his daughter Hafsa not to be misled by 'Aisha who is proud
of her beauty and Mohammed's love for her. Bukhari vol.7 book 62 ch.
106 no.145 p.108. Hafsa said to 'Aisha "I have never received any
good
from you!" Bukhari vol.9 book 92 ch.5 no.406 p.299-300
'Umar said Mohammed divorced Hafsah (revocable divorce) and then took
her back. Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2276 p.619. According to Ibn Ishaq,
Mohammed divorced Hafsa but then took her back. al-Tabari vol.9
footnote 884 p.131.
"Yahya ... from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ...that he
heard
that Hafsa ... killed one of her slave-girls who had used sorcery
against her. She was a mudabbara. Hafsa gave the order, and she was
killed." Muwatta Malik 42.19.14
Hafsa ordered killed on of her slave girls that had used sorcery
against her. Muwatta Malik 43.19.4
Hafsa, wife of Mohammed, died when she was 60 years old. al-Tabari
vol.
39 p.174
6. Zainab/Zaynab bint Jahsh
Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.2347 p.519; vol.2 no.3330 p.723,724; vol.2 no.
3332 p.725; vol.2 no.3494 p.760. Bukhari vol.3 book 33 ch.6 no.249 p.
138; vol.3 no.829 p.512; vol.4 no.6883 p.1493; Zainab's original name
was "Barrah", but Mohammed changed it to Zainab Bukhari vol.8 book 72
ch.108 no.212 p.137; Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4935 p.1377-1378. Abu Dawud
vol.1 no.1498 says Juwairyiha's name used to be Barrah.
Sura 33:36-38 in the Qur'an says, "It is not for any believer, man or
woman, when God and His Messenger have decreed a matter, to have the
choice in the affair. Whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has
gone astray into manifest error. When you said to him whom Allah had
blessed and you had favoured, 'Keep your wife to yourself, and fear
Allah,' and you were concealing within yourself what Allah should
reveal, fearing other men; and Allah has better right for you to fear
him. So when Zaid had accomplished what he would of her, then We gave
her in marriage to you, so that there should not be any fault in the
believers, touching the wives of their adopted sons, when they have
accomplished what they would of them; and Allah's commandment must be
performed. There is no fault in the prophet, touching what Allah had
ordained for him."
Zainab bint Jahsh was married to Mohammed's adopted son, until
Mohammed spoke the Sura that she was to divorce his son and marry
Mohammed. Zainab "used to boast before the other wives of the Prophet
and used to say, 'Allah married me (to the Prophet) in the Heavens.'"
Bukhari vol.9 book 93 ch.22 no.517 p.382. Also vol.9 book 92 ch.22
no.
516,518 p.381-383; al-Tabari vol.9 p.133. In other words, in the
eternally existing uncreated Qur'an in heaven, Zainab's marriage was
mentioned.
Zainab of Jahsh had a brother who died before her. Abu Dawud vol.2
no.
2292 p.624
Alleged statement that Zaid first divorced his wife Zainab just so
that Mohammed might marry her. al-Tabari vol.39 p.180-182
Zainab bint Jahsh died when she was 53 years old. al-Tabari vol.39 p.
182
Zainab (unspecified) Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.2641,2642 p.575,576.
Zainab bint Jahsh should not be confused with Zainab who was Abu
Sa'id
al-Khudri's wife. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.2031 p.223
Zainab [verbally] abused A'ishah, so Mohammed told A'ishah to abuse
her. "...The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) came upon me
[A'ishah] while Zainab daughter of Jahsh was with us. He began to do
something with his hand. I signaled to him until I made him
understand
about her. So he stopped. Zainab came on and began to abuse 'A'ishah.
She prevented her, but she did not stop. So he (the Prophet) said to
'A'ishah : Abuse her. Then she abused her and dominated her. Zainab
then went to 'Ali and said : 'A'ishah abused you and did (such and
such). Then Fatimah came (to the Prophet) and he said to her : She is
favourite of your father, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! She then
returned
and said to them : I said to him such and such, and he said to me
such
and such. Then 'Ali came to the Prophet (may peace be upon him) and
spoke to him about that." Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4880 p.1364-1365
In the Bible Malachi vol.2 no.16 says that God hates divorce.
7. Juwairiya/yya/yah bint Hareth
Juwairiya bint Harith/al-Harith was a captive. Bukhari vol.3 book 46
ch.13 no.717 p.431-432. Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.2349 p.520 says that
Mohammed attacked the Bani Mustaliq tribe without any warning while
they were heedlessly grazing their cattle. Juwairiya was a daughter
of
the chief. Sahih Muslim vol.3 no.4292 p.942 and Abu Dawud vol.2 no.
227
p.728 and al-Tabari vol.39 p.182-183 also say Juwairiya/Juwairiyyah
was captured in a raid on the Banu Mustaliq tribe. She had been
married to Musafi' bin Safwan, who was killed in battle.
Mohammed's wife Jawairyiyah used to be named Barrah. Abu Dawud vol.1
no.1498 p.392. However, Bukhari vol.8 book 72 ch.107 no.212 p.137;
Abu
Dawud vol.3 no.4935 p.1377-1378 say Zainab's name used to be Barrah.
Juwayriyyah bint al-Harith bin Abi Birar bin Habib, great grandson of
Jadhimah al-Mustaliq of the Khuza'ah group, was taken as booty when
Muslims raided the al-Mustaliq tribe. Her husband, Musafi' bin Safwan
Dhu al-Shuir bin Abi Asrb bin Malik bin Jadhimah was killed in the
battle. She was a prisoner of war who agreed to marry Mohammed. al-
Tabari vol.39 p.182-183; al-Tabari vol.9 p.133.
Juwayriyyah was captured at the Battle of al-Muraysi [against the
Banu
Mustaliq]. al-Tabari vol.39 p.183
Juwayriyya married Mohammed when she was 20 years old. al-Tabari vol.
39 p.184
8. Omm/Umm Habiba
Umm Habiba was the daughter of Abu Sufyan al-Tabari vol.9 p.133;
Sahih
Muslim vol.2 no.3413 p.739; vol.2 no.2963 p.652; Sahih Muslim vol.2
no.
1581 p.352; vol.2 no.3539 p.776 Ibn-i-Majah vol.5 no.3974 p.302; al-

Umm Habiba was 23 years younger than Mohammed. Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 #60
p.127
Umm Habiba and her first husband 'Ubaydallah were Muslims who went to
Abyssinia. 'Ubaydallah converted to Christianity. al-Tabari vol.39 p.
177
Mention of Zainab bint Jahsh. al-Tabari vol.39 p.180-182
Umm Habiba, wife of Mohammed should not be confused with another
woman
was also named Umm Habiba. She was the daughter of Jahsh, wife of
'Abd
al-Rahman and sister-in-law of Mohammed, since Zainab of Jahsh was
his
wife. Abu Dawud vol.1 no.288 p.73
9. Safiya/Safiyya/Saffiya
Safiya bint Huyai/Huyayy was a captive Mohammed married after
slaughtering her father, brother, husband and the men at Khaibar,
according to Bukhari vol.2 book 14 ch.5 no.68 p.35; vol.4 book 52 ch.
74 no.143 p.92; vol.4 book 52 ch.168 no.280 p.175 and al-Tabari vol.
39
p.185.
Safiyah's husband was named Sallam bin Mishkam bin al-Hakam bin
Harithah bin al-Khazraj bin Ka'b bin Khazraj. al-Tabari vol.9 p.
134-135.
Safiyyah was called Safi, for the first share of the booty, which
went
to Mohammed. Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2988 p.848; Abu Dawud vol.2 no.
2985-2989 and footnote 2406 p.846-849
Safiyya was purchased by Mohammed for seven slaves. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3
no.2272 p.357. She was 17 when Mohammed married her. al-Tabari vol.39
p.184
Mohammed felt kindness toward Safiyya. "If Safiyyah were not grieved,
I would have left him [her husband whom Mohammed executed] until the
birds and beasts of prey would have eaten him, and he would have been
resurrected from their bellies." Abu Dawud vol.2 no.3130-3131 p.893
Physically, Safiyyah was short. Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4857 p.1359
There was discord between wives. Zainab did not want to loan a camel
to Safiyya when Mohammed asked her to. Zainab called Safiyya a
"Jewess" Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4588 p.1293
Mohammed had nine wives at one time, including Safiyya bint Huyayy,
and later he did not give her a "turn". Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.
3455-3456 p.749
This wife of Mohammed is also mentioned in Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.
3325;
vol.2 no.2783 p.605; vol.2 no.3118 p.678; vol.2 no.3497 p.761;
Bukhari
vol.3 book 33 ch.8-13 no.251-255 p.139-143; vol.2 book 21 ch.22 no.
255
p.143; Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1779 p.72; Abu Dawud vol.2 no.2464 p.681;
al-Tabari vol.39 p.169
Safiya bint Abi 'Ubaid Mohammed's wife in Bukhari vol.4 book 52 ch.
136
no.244 p.151 is probably the same person.
10. Maimuna/Maymuna bint Harith/Hareth
Sahih Muslim vol.1 no.1671,1674,1675 p.368-369; vol.2 no.1672 p.369.
Mohammed married Maymunah bt. Al-Harith in 7 A.H. while Mohammed was
in a state of ritual purity on the journey to Mecca. al-Tabari vol.8
p.
136; al-Tabari vol.9 p.135
Maymuna had been divorced once, and widowed before marrying Mohammed.
al-Tabari vol.39 p.185. Maymuna was 80/81 when she died. al-Tabari
vol.
39 p.186
Maimuna was 30 years old when the 53-year old Mohammed married her.
Mohammed died four years later. Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 #43 p.120
Mainuma bint al-Harith had a slave girl. She asked Mohammed if she
could free her, and Mohammed said instead to give her to Maimuna's
sister to take care of her. Muwatta' Malik 54.4.9
Maimuna, Mohammed's wife, screened Mohammed Bukhari vol.1 book 5 ch.
22
no.279 p.170-171. People were screened when they bathed or went to
the
bathroom. Nothing was wrong with that though, for she was his wife.
'Ata bin Yasar was a man who was a client of Maymunah. al-Tabari vol.
39 p.317
Slaves: Maimuna's freed slave girl was given a sheep, which later
died. Ibn-i-Majah vol.5 no.3610 p.93
This wife of Mohammed is also mentioned in: Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.2408
p.435; Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 no.809 p.492; vol.2 no.1124 p.108; Abu
Dawud
vol.1 no.1351 p.356; vol.1 no.1359,1360,1362 p.357; Sunan Nasa'i vol.
1
no.243 p.229.
11. Fatima/Fatema/Fatimah
Fatima was mentioned by 'Ali Dashti. al-Tabari vol.9 p.39 states that
Mohammed briefly married Fatimah bint al-Dahhak bin Sufyan (also
called al-Kilabiyyah).
Mohammed married Fatimah bint Shurayh/Sara'. al-Tabari vol.9 p.139.
It
is unclear if Shuray and al-Dahhak were two different people, making
this two Fatimas, or they were alternate names for the same father.
Mention of Fatimah bin al-Dahhabi, Aliya bint Zahyah, Sana bint
Sufyan
al-Tabari vol.39 p.186
Mohammed consummated his marriage with "the Kilabiyyah" (i.e. from
the
Kilabi tribe). This would be Fatimah bint al-Dahhak bin Sufyan or
'Aliyah bint Zabyan bin 'Amr bin 'Awf or Sana bint Sufyan bin 'Awf.
al-
Tabari vol.39 p.187
Fatima, Mohammed's daughter is different
The following could be Mohammed's wife, but was probably his
daughter.
In the year of the conquest of Mecca, Fatima screened Mohammed. Ibn-
i-
Majah vol.1 no.465 p.255 and Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 no.228 p.224; vol.1
no.
417 p.307
A Fatima screened Mohammed while he was bathing in Bukhari vol.1 book
5 ch.22 no.278 p.170-171. However, Mohammed was taking a bath and was
screened by his daughter Fatima in Bukhari vol.4 book 53 ch.29 no.396
p.263. Fatima was Mohammed's daughter and the wife of 'Ali in Bukhari
vol.3 book 34 chg.29 no.302 p.171; Bukhari vol.4 book 53 ch.1 no.325
p.
208.
Mohammed did not want 'Ali to marry anyone else besides his daughter
Fatima. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1998-1999 p.202-204. However, 'Ali later
had a captive slave girl, the daughter of Rab'iah, who bore him a
daughter name Umm Ruqayyah. al-Tabari vol.11 p.66.
Wanted a slave: While Mohammed gave many slaves to A'isha, Fatima
thought she got a bad deal. Mohammed's daughter Fatima complained to
Mohammed about her using the grinding stone and asked for a slave
(prisoner of war). Mohammed did not give her one, but he said he gave
her something better. He told her to say glory be to Allah 33 times,
Praise be to Allah 34 times, and Allah is most great 34 times. Abu
Dawud vol.3 no.5044-5045 p.1405
12. Hend/Hind
Hend/Hind was formerly married to Abu Sufyan, who was a very stingy
man, according to Sahih Muslim vol.3 no.4251-4254 p.928-929.
13. Sana bint Asma' / al-Nashat
Mohammed married al-Nashat bint Rifa'ah of the Banu Kilab bin
Rabi'ah,
allies of the Qurayzah. Some called her Sana bint Asma' bin al-Salt
al-
Sulamiyyah; while others say Sana bint Asma' bin al-Salt of the Banu
Harm. However, she died before the Prophet consummated his marriage
with her. She was also called Sana. al-Tabari vol.9 p.135-136. al-
Tabari vol.39 p.166 says the same thing about Sana bint al-Salt.
14. Zainab/Zaynab bint Khozayma/Khuzaima
This Zainab belonged to the tribe of Banu Hilal. She was divorced
from
a Muslim named Tufayl, then married his brother 'Ubaydah, who was
killed at Badr. Then she married Mohammed. She was born 595 A.D. and
died in 626 A.D. at 31. See al-Tabari vol.7 p.150 footnotes 215,216
and al-Tabari vol.39 p.163-164 for more info.
al-Tabari vol.9 p.138 also says she died while Mohammed was alive.
Mohammed married Zainab bint Khuzaima, but she died before he did.
Sunan Nasa'i vol.1 #64 p.129
15. Habla?
Habla is on Ali Dashti's list, but I have not been able to
independently verify this.
16. Divorced Asma' bint Noman
Asma bint Noman, or Asma bint al-Nu'man bin Abi Al-Jawn, of the
Kindah
tribe, was married to Mohammed, but the marriage was never
consummated. al-Tabari vol.10 p.185 and footnote 1131 p.185.
Daughter of Al-Jaun / Jahal was married very briefly to Mohammed.
Bukhari vol.7 book 63 no.181 p.131,132
On the other hand, al-Tabari vol.10 p.190 says that Al-Nu'man al-Jawn
offered his daughter to Mohammed, but Mohammed declined. Perhaps
"declined" means Mohammed divorced her before ever sleeping with her.
Mohammed married Asma bint al-Nu'man bin al-Aswad bin Sharahil.
However, she had leprosy, so Mohammed gave her money and divorced
her.
al-Tabari vol.9 p.137. Why would he do that to a woman he loved?
'Asma bint al-Nu'man was a widow Mohammed married Either Hafsa or
A'isha tricked 'Asma by telling her Mohammed would be pleased if she
said she took refuge in Allah from Mohammed. al-Tabari vol.39 p.
188-190
Brief mention of 'Asma bint Nu'man in al-Tabari vol.39 p.190.
Mohammed divorced one woman Mohammed because she took refuge in Allah
from Mohammed. He divorced another because she had leprosy. There is
some mixup of which name is with which case in al-Tabari vol.39 p.
187.
17. Mary/Mariya the Copt/Christian
Mary was a wife [concubine] of Mohammed's according to al-Tabari vol.
9
p.141; Sahih Muslim vol.4 footnote 2835. p.1351;. Mary the Copt gave
birth to Mohammed's son Ibrahim in al-Tabari vol.9 p.39. He died when
he was two years old. The Muslim emissary Hatib b. Abi Balta'ah
returned from al-Muqawqis [Egypt] with Mariya [Mary the Copt], her
sister Sirin, a female mule, sets of garments, and a eunuch. Hatib
invited them to become Muslims, and the two women did so [according
to
Tabari]. Mariyah was beautiful, and Mohammed sent her sister Sirin to
Hassan b. Thabit. Sirin and Hassan were the parents of 'Abd al-Rahman
b. Hassan. al-Tabari vol.8 p.66,131.
A Muslim might say Mohammed had to marry her because she was a gift
from Egypt, but her sister Sirin was also a gift, and he did not
marry
Sirin. Mary was a gift from the governor of Alexandria. al-Tabari
vol.
39 p.193
It was claimed that Mary became a Muslim, but Mohammed still kept her
as a slave rather than a regular wife. al-Tabari vol.39 p.194
Mohammed "had intercourse with her [Mary] by virtue of her being his
property." al-Tabari vol.39 p.194. Footnote 845 explains, "That is,
Mariyah was ordered to veil herself as did the Prophet's wives, but
he
did not marry her."
Mary the Copt died in 637/638 A.D. al-Tabari vol.39 p.22
18. Rayhana/Raihana/Rayhanah bint Zaid/Zayd
Rayhana was a Jewish captive from the Quraiza tribe. Mohammed offered
to make her a wife instead of a slave, but she decline and remained
Jewish according to al-Tabari vol.8 p.39. See also al-Tabari vol.9 p.
137,141. However, the source in al-Tabari vol.39 p.164-165 says
Mohammed set her free and then married her.
Mohammed had two concubines: Mariya bint Sham'un the Copt, and
Rayhanah bint Zayd al-Quraziyyah of the Banu al-Nadir. al-Tabari vol.
9
p.141. Mariya was an um walid of Mohammed according to al-Tabari vol.
13 p.58.
19. Divorced Omm/Umm Sharik / Ghaziyyah bint Jabir
Omm/Umm Sharik is the same person as Ghaziyyah bint Jabir in al-
Tabari
vol.9 p.139. She was called "Umm Sharik" because she was the mother
of
a son named Sharik by a previous marriage.
"When the Prophet went to her he found her to be an old woman, so he
divorced her." al-Tabari vol.9 p.139. However footnote 922 says Ibn
Sa'd in Tabaqat, 8 p.110-112 "gives a different account and lists her
among the women to whom the Prophet proposed but did not marry. It
was
she who gave herself to the Prophet and the Qur'anic verse 33:50
refers to her."
20. Maymuna / Maimuna
Maimuna was a woman who offered herself to Mohammed according to
Sahih
Muslim vol.2 footnote 1919. It could be the same Maimuna as 10, or a
different one. Married in 7 .H.
An unnamed woman said she gave herself to Mohammed as a wife.
Mohammed
did not accept her, but gave her to a poor Muslim. The only thing the
poor Muslim could give as a dowry is his memorization of a sura of
the
Qur'an. Muwatta' Malik 28.3.8
21. Zaynab/Zainab the Third?
Ali Dashti lists this wife, but I have not found independent evidence
of this.
22. Khawla / Khawlah bint al-Hudayl
It is said that Mohammed married Khawlah bint al-Hudayl. al-Tabari
vol.
9 p.139. She was a wife of Mohammed's according to al-Tabari vol.39
p.
166
23. Divorced Mulaykah bint Dawud
Mohammed married (married is the word in the text) Mulaykah bint
Dawud
al-Laythiyyah, but when she was told that Mohammed was the one who
had
her father killed, she took refuge in Allah from Mohammed. So
Mohammed
separated from her. al-Tabari vol.8 p.189. The same thing is told of
Mulaykah bint Ka'b (who is likely the same person) in al-Tabari vol.
39
p.165
Mulaykah bint Ka'b was married very briefly to Mohammed. A'isha asked
her if she wanted to marry the man who killed her husband. She "took
refuge in God" from Mohammed, so Mohammed divorced her. al-Tabari
vol.
39 p.165
24. Divorced al-Shanba' bint 'Amr
Mohammed married al-Shanba' bint 'Amr al-Ghifariyyah; her people were
allies of the banu Qurayza. When Ibrahim died, she said that if he
were a true prophet his son would not have died. Mohammed divorced
her
before consummating his marriage with her. al-Tabari vol.9 p.136
25. Divorced al-'Aliyyah
Mohammed stayed a while with 'Aliyyah bint Zabyan bin 'Amr bin 'Awf
bin Ka'b, then divorced her. al-Tabari vol.39 p.188
Mohammed married al-'Aliyyah, but then divorced her. She died while
Mohammed was still alive al-Tabari vol.9 p.138.
26. Divorced 'Amrah bint Yazid
Mohammed divorced 'Amrah bint Yazid because she had leprosy. al-
Tabari
vol.39 p.188
Mohammed married 'Amrah bint Yazid (no mention of divorce) al-Tabari
vol.9 p.139.
Mohammed divorced 'Amra. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.2054 p.233 vol.3 no.
2030
p.226 (daif [weak], not Sahih)
Mohammed divorced a woman because she had leprosy. al-Tabari vol.39
p.
187
27. Divorced an Unnamed Woman
Mohammed divorced an unnamed woman because she would peek at those
leaving the mosque. al-Tabari vol.39 p.187
28. Qutaylah bint Qays (died right away)
Mohammed married Qutaylah bint Qays but she died before they
consummated the marriage. Curiously, it also says he and her brother
apostacized form Islam. So she must have apostacized after the
marriage and before her death perhaps? al-Tabari vol.9 p.138-139.
29. Sana bint Sufyan
Mention of Mohammed's brief marriage with Sana bint Sufyan. al-Tabari
vol.39 p.188
30. Sharaf bint Khalifah
Mohammed married Sharaf bint Khalifah, sister of Dihyah bin Lhalifah
al-Kalbi, but she died while Mohammed was still alive. al-Tabari vol.
9
p.138
31. Women of Mohammed's Right Hand
"...abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the
marriage
bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess - for (in
their
case) they are free from blame," Sura 23:5-6. See also Sura 4:24
"He [Mohammed] replied, 'Conceal your private parts except from your
wife and from whom your right hands possess (slave-girls).'" Abu
Dawud
vol.3 no.4006 p.1123
Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4443-4445 p.1244 shows that having sex with a
slave-
girl a man owns is fine, but a man will be flogged for having sex
with
his wife's slave-girl.
As was typical of wealthy Arab men, Mohammed apparently had need of a
few slave girls too. See Bukhari vol.7 book 64 ch.6 no.274 p.210.
Salmah for was a maid-servant of Mohammed. Abu Dawud vol.3 no.3849 p.
1084
Maimuna was the freed slave girl of Mohammed. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.
2531 p.514; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.457 p.118
Mohammed briefly had a "very beautiful" captive before he gave her to
Mahmiyah b. Jaz' al-Zubaydi. al-Tabari vol.8 p.151
One of the slave girls belonging to Mohammed house committed
fornication with someone else. It is the "someone else" part that was
a problem. Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4458 p.1249
Mohammed called a black slave-girl to come and conceal Abu Dharr
behind a curtain while he was taking a bath. Abu Dawud vol.1 no.332
p.
87
Mention Umm Ayman (=Barakah), a client (slave-girl) of the prophet.
al-
Tabari vol.39 p.287
Mohammed definitely had a sense of humor. Umm Ayman, the Prophet's
client [i.e. slave whom it was lawful for him to spend the night
with]. According to al-Husayn ... Umm Ayman: [One] night the Prophet
got
up and urinated in the corner of the house into an earthenware
vessel.
During the night I got up, and being thirsty, I drank what was in the
vessel, not noticing [anything]. When the Prophet got up in the
morning he said 'O Umm Ayman, take that earthenware vessel and pour
away its content.' I said 'By God, I drank what was in it.' The
Prophet laughed until his molar teeth showed, then said 'After this
you will never have a bellyache.'" al-Tabari vol.39 p.199
In general, Abu Dawud vol.3 no.4443-4445 p.1244 teaches that having
sex with a slave-girl a man owns is OK, but a man will be flogged for
having sex with his wife's slave-girl.
But, having sex with a wife's slave girl is OK if the wife made her
lawful for him. Note that he did not have to be married to the slave
girl. Ibn-i-Majah vol.4 no.2551 p.12
Mohammed Turned Some Women Down!
A'isha felt jealous of the women who offered themselves to Mohammed
[as wives]. Sahih Muslim vol.2 no.3453 p.748. But it was OK that a
woman offered herself to Mohammed. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.2000-2001 p.
304-305
Some thought Mohammed married al-Ash'ath, but al-Tabari says that is
false according to al-Tabari vol.39 p.190i. (Overall, al-Tabari did a
masterful job of trying to keep up with all of Mohammed's women.)
Some Women Turned Mohammed Down
Mohammed asked to marry Ghaziyyah on account of her beauty, but she
declined. Tabari claims she was in a state of infidelity but provides
no evidence. al-Tabari vol.9 p.136. There is no evidence she was
unfaithful and Mohammed was lax in not punishing her, or that she was
and Mohammed punished her.
Layla clapped Mohammed's shoulder from behind and asked him to marry
her. Mohammed accepted. Layla's people said, "'What a bad thing you
have done! You are a self-respecting woman, but the Prophet is a
womanizer. Seek an annulment from him.' She went back to the Prophet
and asked him to revoke the marriage and he complied with [her
request]." al-Tabari vol.9 p.139
From to al-Tabari vol.9 p.140-141, Mohammed proposed marriage to, but
ended up not marrying:
1) Umm Hani' bin Abi Talib [Hind] because she said she was with
child.
2) Duba'ah bint 'Amir but she was too old.
3) Reportedly he proposed to Saffiyah bint Bashshamah, a captive. She
was allowed to choose between Mohammed and her husband, and she chose
her husband.
4) Umm Habib bint al-'Abbas but since al-'Abbas was his foster
brother
so it would not have been lawful so Mohammed backed out.
5) Jamrah bint Al-Harith. Her father falsely claimed she was
suffering
from something. When he returned, he found that she had already been
afflicted with leprosy.
It is inconsistent on whether Umm Hani' became a Muslim before or
after Mohammed asked her to marry him. al-Tabari vol.39 p.197 and
footnote 857 p.197

Dear Muslims,
Can you explain to Muslims as well as the non-Muslims why Mohammed,
56, put his head UPON and/or between the thighs of Aisha, 6 years old
when she was menstruating; and what was Mohammed exactly doing in this
position?
According to the Haddith of Aisha:Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64:
Prophet Mohammed married her - Aisha- when she was six years old and
he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.
Whether Mohammed consummated his marriage when Aisha was 9, no one can
believe because Mohammed had been proven to have lied and lied.
Mohammed could have sex with Aisha when she was 6: for Mohammed was
THIGHING(=Mohammed put his head upon and/or between the thighs of
Aisha) with her then.
Please, sam1528, tell the truth whether or not you- as a human being -
truly believe that Mohammed having more than 11 wives was HOLY ENOUGH
to be the TRUE prophet of the True Allah when he- Mohammed- at the age
of 55, had ogled at a baby girl, Aisha - 5 years old for paedophilic
sex acts?
Even then, it is morally shameful for an old man, 55, to ask the
parent of a 5 years old baby girl for the marriage of their baby
daughter for paedophilic sexual acts!
Such marriage of Mohammed cannot be justified by the Islamic law of
mariage between a boy of 10 and a girl of 6 as the difference in ages
between Mohammed and Aisha is so great that Mohammed could be the
great, great, great grandfather of baby Aisha 6 years old.
Such marriage is an immoral act trying to justify paedophilic desire
by calling it "Marriage" sanctified by Allah of Mohammed to vindicate
the immorality of paedophile like Mohammed.
HOW HOLY WAS MOHAMMED when put his head upon and/or between the thighs
of Aisha ???
AMEN IN CHRIST JESUS

" Dear Sam1528,
JUST ANSWER THE FOLLOWINGS:
Can you explain to the Muslims as well as the non-Muslims why
Mohammed, 56, put his head between and/or UPON the thighs of Aisha, 6
years old when she was menstruating; and what was Mohammed exactly
" Are you asking the same questions hoping for a different answer?
This has been answered in my other post to you. So you think
asking the same question multiple times & when I do not answer
you can say I have avoided answering you is it? ".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
MY REPLY as follows:
" If you had replied before, I have not seen it. Nevertheless, you
still HAVE TO paste your previous reply IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DEBATE
SYSTEMIC !.
Your answer to my question will tell us all whether or not Mohammed
have the Holiness of God to be the TRUE PROPHET OF THE TRUE ALLAH:
'WHAT WAS MOHAMMED DOING WHEN HE PUT HIS HIS HEAD on and/or between
the thighs of Aisha FOR when she, Aisha, was stilll menstruating? Was
Mohammed still doing thighing on Aisha when she was still menstruating
when thighing, itself, was unholy sexual act given the fact that
thighing, itself, is described as sex not of NORM by God.
In this case, Mohammed was thighing -which means sexual act not
pertaining to intercourse to arouse one's sexual desire to obtain
orgasm- because he had asked Aisha to uncover her covering.
This sex act is also unholy given the fact that Mohammed was 56 and
Aisha was still a baby, 6 years old.
Sam1528, you must answer truthfully so that Muslims would not be
CONTINOUSLY LIED TO by all imams fooling them into damnation for hell.
AMEN IN CHRIST JESUS
