Ummahat ul Momineen: Let us know our

mothers (raa)
AUGUST 22, 2018
Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem

Alhamdulillah As salatu was salamu ala rasool Allah sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam

Assalamu alaiykum wa rehmtullahi wa barakatuhoo

This post discusses the brief biographies of the most noble women that ever walked
on the surface of this Earth. Allaah swt tells us in the Quran that the wives of the
Prophet sal allahu alaiyhi wa sallam are the Mothers of the  Believers. As we were
reflecting on just the honorable title of Ummahat ul Momineen that Allah blessed
them with, we were left to wonder as to how many of the Momineen can remember
and recount the names of their Blessed Mothers?

How can any soul claim to love them without knowing them? Those who were the
“ahl e baiyt” of Rasool Allaah sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam.  Those who were the very
source of Sakeenah to the Prophet sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam, those who cradled
Islam in their motherly laps, the very first wahy came in the wedlock of Hazrat
Khadeejah, the wife whom Allah himself sent greetings of peace ,and the soul of our
Prophet sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam was taken when he was lying on the lap of
Hazrat Ayesha (raa).  How on earth can we then call them Ummahatinaa without even
venturing to memorize their names, learn their seerah and marveling at their chief
contributions to the History of the World? Part of  the demonstration of our love for
him lies in knowing All About Him and everything that belonged to Him.  So, lets
begin our journey  of learning about our mothers.
May Allah swt accept this for His Sake Alone. And may it serve the purpose for
which it was written.

IBN QAYYIM (RA) SAYS:

Abu ‘Ubaydah said: He had four (concubines): 1) Mariyah, who was the mother of his
son Ibraaheem; 2) Rayhaanah; (taken during the battle of Banu Qurayzah) 3) another
beautiful slave woman whom he acquired as a prisoner of war; 4) and a slave woman
who was given to him by Zaynab bint Jahsh. 
 Praise be to Allaah.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married the
following women:

1 – Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid (may Allaah be pleased with her)

She was the first of his wives. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) married her when he was twenty-five years old, and he did not take another wife
until after she died. All his children were born from her, except Ibraaheem.

Al-Bukhaari entitled a chapter in his Saheeh: “The marriage of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) to Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her), and
her virtues,” in which he narrated a hadeeth from ‘Aa’ishah who said: “I never felt
jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) as I did of Khadeejah, although she died before he married me, because of what I
heard him say about her.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3815.
2 – Sawdah bint Zam’ah ibn Qays

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her in the tenth year
of his Prophethood. Tabaqaat Ibn Sa’d, narrating from al-Waaqidi, 8/52-53; Ibn
Katheer in al-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah, 3/149
3 – ‘Aa’ishah bint Abi Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with her)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her in Shawwaal of
the tenth year of the Prophethood. Ibn Sa’d, 8/58-59. She herself said: “The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married me when I was six years old,
and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
3894; Muslim, 1422. Al-Bukhaari (5077) also narrated that the Messenger of Allaah
(S) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not marry any virgin apart form
her.

4 – Hafsah bint ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with her)

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that
Hafsah’s husband Khunays ibn Hudhaafah, who was one of the companions of the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and had been
present at Badr, died in Madeenah. ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab said: I met ‘Uthmaan ibn
‘Affaan and offered Hafsah to him in marriage. I said: If you wish, I will marry
Hafsah bint ‘Umar to you. He said: I will think about it. Several nights passed, then he
said: I think that I do not want to get married at this time. ‘Umar said: Then I met Abu
Bakr and I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah bint ‘Umar to you. Abu Bakr kept
quiet and did not give me any response. I was more upset about him than about
‘Uthmaan. Several nights passed, then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) proposed to her and I married her to him. Then Abu Bakr met
me and said: Perhaps you felt upset when you offered Hafsah in marriage to me and I
did not reply? I said: Yes. He said: Nothing prevented me from responding to your
offer but the fact that I knew that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) had mentioned her, and I did not want to disclose the secret of
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). If he had
decided not to marry her, I would have accepted your offer.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4005.

5 – Zaynab bint Khuzaymah (may Allaah be pleased with her)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her in Ramadaan,
thirty-one months after the Hijrah. She died eight months after her marriage to the
Prophet sal Allahu alaiyhi wa sallam. She was called Umm Ul Masakeen. She
belonged to the Banu Hilal tribe. Her room was beside the room of Aisha ra and Hafsa
ra. After her death her quarters remained empty for a long time till Prophet sal Allahu
alaiyhi wa sallam married Umm Salamah and moved her in the empty quarters of
Zainab bint Khuzaiymah (Ra)

Tabaqaat Ibn Sa’d, 8/115

6 – Umm Salamah bint Abi Umayyah (may Allaah be pleased with her)

Muslim (918) narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:  I
heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:
“There is no person who is faced with a calamity and says Inna Lillaahi wa inna
ilayhi raaji’oon, Allaahumma ujurni fi museebati w’ukhluf li khayran minha (Truly, to
Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return; O Allaah, reward me in this
calamity and compensate me with something better than it) but Allaah will reward
him in his calamity and will compensate him with something better than that.” She
said: When Abu Salamah died, I said what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) had commanded me, and Allaah compensated me
with someone better than him: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him).
According to another report: when Abu Salamah died, I said: Who is better than Abu
Salamah, the companion of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him)? But Allaah decreed that I should say it. Then I got married to the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

7 – Juwayriyah bint al-Haarith (may Allaah be pleased with her)

She fell prisoner to the Muslims during the battle of Banu’l-Mustalaq, and she came
to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to ask him to help her to
manumit herself and buy her freedom. He offered to buy her freedom and marry her,
and she accepted. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married
her and made her manumission her dowry. When the people came to know of that,
they set free their own prisoners, so as to honour the in-laws of the Messenger (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him). No woman brought a greater blessing to her
people than she did. Narrated by Ibn Ishaaq with a hasan isnaad. Seerat Ibn Hishaam,
3/408-409.
8 – Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with her)

A dver tise me nts

REPORT THIS AD

Concerning her Allaah revealed the words (interpretation of the meaning):

“So when Zayd had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her
to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in
respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no
desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them)”

[al-Ahzaab 33:37]
She used to boast about this to the other wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), saying: “Your families arranged your marriages but Allaah
arranged my marriage from above the seven heavens.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7420.

9 – Umm Habeebah bint Abi Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with her):

Abu Dawood (2107) narrated from ‘Urwah from Umm Habeebah (may Allaah be
pleased with her) that she was married to ‘Ubayd-Allaah ibn Jahsh, who died in
Abyssinia. Then the Negus married her to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) and gave her a mahr of four thousand on his behalf,and sent her to the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with Shurahbeel
ibn Hasanah. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

10- Maymoonah bint al-Haarith (may Allaah be pleased with her)

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married Maymoonah when he was in
ihraam. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1832; Muslim, 1410.

The words “when he was in ihraam” are a mistake. In fact the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her after he exited ihraam following ‘Umrat
al-Qada’.

See Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/113; Fath al-Baari, hadeeth no. 5114.

11 – Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab (may Allaah be pleased with her)

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set her free and
married her after the battle of Khaybar. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 371.

These are the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with
whom he consummated marriage. Two of them died during the lifetime of the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), namely Khadeejah and Zaynab bint
Khuzaymah (may Allaah be pleased with them both). The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) left behind nine wives when he died; there is no
difference of scholarly opinion on this matter.

See Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/105-114

It was said that Rayhaanah bint ‘Amr al-Nadariyyah (or al-Quraziyyah) was also one
of his wives. She was taken prisoner during the battle of Bani Qurayzah, and the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) chose her for
himself and married her, then he divorced her then took her back. Tabaqaat Ibn Sa’d ,
narrating from al-Waaqidi, 8/130
And it was said that she was a concubine. This was regarded as more likely by Ibn al-
Qayyim in Zaad al-Ma’aad.
