Prophet Muhammad's last wife was Maymunah bint al-Harith, who was his eleventh and final wife, marrying him around the year 630 CE. Her original name was Barra, which she changed to Maymuna ("good tidings") upon conversion, as the marriage coincided with his return to Mecca.
Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Sawda bint Zama, Aishah bint Abi Bakr, Hafsah bint Umar, Zaynab bint Khuzaymah, Hind bint Abi Umayya (known as Umm Salama), Zaynab bint Jahsh, Maymuna bint al-Harith, and Juwayriyah bint al-Harith were Arab; six of them were from Quraysh, and the rest were from other tribes.
Muhammad, the final Islamic prophet, is said to have had thirteen wives in total (although two have ambiguous accounts, Rayhana bint Zayd and Maria al-Qibtiyya, as wife or concubine). As a sign of respect, Muslims refer to each of these wives with the title "Umm al-Muʾminīn" (Arabic: أُمّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِين, lit.
Age at marriage and consummation
Classical Islamic sources state that Aisha was six at the time of her marriage with Muhammad and nine at the time of its consummation (then 50 or 53).
Tricked by his father-in-law into marrying his true love's sister, Jacob waited 14 years before he could be with Rachel.
Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha is often cited as occurring when she was nine, consistent with 7th-century Arabian norms where marrying girls at puberty (around this age) was common and accepted, allowing integration into the husband's family before consummation. While some traditional Islamic sources report this age, modern historians and scholars debate it, with some arguing for older ages (like 17 or 18) based on timelines from other historical accounts, suggesting cultural context or misinterpretation of sources might explain the discrepancy.
In an essay posted without fanfare to its website in late October, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said for the first time that Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, had as many as 40 wives. Some of those women were also married to friends of his.
The marriage of Prophet Muhammad to lady 'Aisha was based on a divine command as lady 'Aisha narrated that angel Gabriel came to Prophet Muhammad carrying a green silk cloth with her image on it and said "this is your wife in this world and in the hereafter" narrated by al Tirmidhi.
In certain texts of the hadith, Aisha was betrothed at 6 years old and married at 9. Today, some Muslim fundamentalists defend and deploy the Aisha marital hadith to justify child marriage in our own time.
In hadith, these four women of paradise were mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him), who said: “The best of women among the people of Paradise are Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatima bint Muhammad, Maryam bint 'Imran, and 'Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh.”
It is narrated in many hadiths that Khadijah was Muhammad's most trusted and favorite among all his marriages. It is narrated in Sahih Muslim: The messenger of Allah said: "God Almighty never granted me anyone better in this life than her.
The Narration
In some narrations the number of women with whom Prophet Sulayman vowed to sleep with is given as sixty. In another, it is ninety. In others it is even ninety-nine or hundred.
Rather, it was deemed permissible for ʻAa'ishah to play with these dolls because she had not yet reached puberty then.
It was narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (a) that, "Fatima (a) has nine names before God: Fatima, al-Siddiqa, al-Mubaraka, al-Tahira, al-Zakiyya, al-Radiya, al-Mardiyya, al-Muhaddatha and al-Zahra'." It seems that "names" in this hadith includes both names and epithets."
The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) divorced Hafsah Bint Omar as it is narrated in Sunni books like Sunan Abu Dawood 2283 and Ibn Maajah 2016, and An Nasaa'ee 3560, and Al-Mustadrak by Al-Nisaboori , volume 2, page 197 and Al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheeha, V. 5,npage 15.
Regarding aging, Allah says in the Qur'an, “… until, when he reaches maturity and reaches forty years, he says, 'My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to work righteousness of which You will approve, and make righteous for me my offspring.
The controversy stems primarily from a single hadith that states Aisha (RA) was six when her marriage contract was drawn up and nine when the marriage was consummated. This narration is often cited in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, and is the sole report mentioning this specific age.
According to this, Aisha's year of birth was 605 (595+10=605) and her age at the time of the Hijra was 17 (27–10=17). Since her marriage took place six, seven or eight months after the Hijra, or just after Badr [27], this means Aisha was 17-18 years old at that time.
SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to kiss his wife Aisha (RA) while both of them were fasting. Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to kiss me when he was fasting and when I was fasting.
Then there is the story of Aisha's disappearance during a military expedition (on which the prophet usually took one of his wives), and her return with another man, called Safwan Ibn Al-Mu'attal. Historically this incident created an almighty scandal in the Muslim community, and many accused Aisha of adultery.
That was the kind of love and care the Prophet (PBUH) had for Aisha (RA.) He would even lay his head in her lap when he wanted to rest. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a man who was always helping Aisha (RA) around the house. She would in turn prepare his favorite meals and dress up for him.
“King Solomon was famously known for his 1,000 wives. Nearly every king in ancient history, whether in Europe or in the East, maintained a large harem. Roman and ancient Greek cultures also permitted and normalized the keeping of multiple concubines.
