Ask Qul - Marriage - Nikkah - the Prophet and his 9 wives

Pearl of Wisdom

'Verily on the day of the battle of 'Uhud, the Prophet (SAWA)'s incisors were broken and his head was wounded, so while taking out the blood from it, he said, 'How will a people who wounded their prophet and broke his teeth ever succeed, whilst he only calls them to Allah?!' So Allah revealed the verse: You have no hand in the matter.?

Anas ibn Malik

Sahih Muslim, v. 3, p. 1417, no. 104

Question : #103

Category: Marriage - Nikkah

Subject:	the Prophet and his 9 wives
Question:	Is it true that the Prophet had 9 wives at one given time? If so, doesn't this contradict the ruling of only being allowed 4 at one given time?
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, Yes, it is commonly understood that he did have nine wives. This is more than the four which are allotted Islamically. The Prophet did not break any laws, but in this case Allah ordered him to take on more wives. The majority of his marriages were for political purposes. He would marry a sister and then her entire village would become Muslim. Therefore, at that time it was necessary for the Prophet to marry more than four. Fi amanillah
