Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And Shaykh Mustafa ibn Fadilah says: Is it true that Maryam, the daughter of a woman, and Abtisamah are from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Hereafter, or that the last one can?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best; I do not know. His wives in this world, the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this world, are his wives in Paradise. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) restricted himself to them.
The questioner:
We ask Allah.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Ahzab 33:52]. [Al-Ahzab 33:28-29] [Al-Ahzab 33:29] When they chose Allah and the Hereafter, Allah honored them and His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took them as his wives, making them his wives in Paradise. Yes.

The Shaykh:
lawful to you, [O Muhammad], are [any additional] women after [this], nor [is it] for you to exchange them for [other] wives, even if their beauty were to please you, except what your right hand possesses
يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِن بَعْدُ وَلَا أَن تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ(28) O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you should desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release. (29) But if you should desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَthen indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward."
فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
