Question:
This questioner, O Shaykh Salih, says: How was the Prophetic conduct of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with the Mothers of the Believers in being just among them and in the Prophetic household? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
Yes, the Prophetic conduct of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with his wives was one of justice and fairness in their rights, the marital rights. So he was just among them in the division of time, in lodging, and in financial maintenance, not favoring one over the other. As for justice in love, this is something only Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) can do, so he loved some of his wives more than others, because this is a matter for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he divided his time among his wives:Sunan Abi Dawud 2134.
