The Guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with His Wives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: How was the Prophetic guidance with our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his wives, the Mothers of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with them all)?
Answer:
His guidance (peace and blessings be upon him) was justice among his wives in financial maintenance, in housing, in spending the night with them, and in clothing. This is the justice that a person is able to carry out, and it is not permissible for him to be unjust in it. As for the justice of the heart, which is love, no one possesses it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). For this reason, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) divided his time among his wives, he said: “O Allah, this is my division in what I control, so do not hold me accountable for what You control and I do not control.” Yes.
