The Guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with His Wives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner asks: How was the Prophetic conduct, and how did our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) treat his wives?
Answer:
He (peace and blessings be upon him) was among the best of men with his wives; he was the best of men. He was just among them, being just among them in the division of time, just among them in financial maintenance, just among them in housing, and just among them in clothing. He was just among his wives in these four matters. He treated them with kindness and pleased them, and he did not lean toward one of them over another in his actions or his behavior. No, rather, he was just among them. As for love, a person cannot be just among women in that, and he is not held accountable for it if he loves one of them more than the others. He (peace and blessings be upon him) loved Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) more than the others, and yet his love for her did not lead him to be unjust in financial maintenance, clothing, housing, or treatment. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was just among his women. And so it is obligatory for every husband who has multiple wives to be just among them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
