• 26 The Death of Khadîjah and a list of his
  children and his subsequent wives

3

• Three years before Hijra (immigration) to
  Al-Madînah, in the same month his uncle Abu-Tâlib
  died, the Mother of the Believers and wife of
  the Prophet (SAWS), Khadîjah bint Khuwaylid (RA),
  died as well.

4

• The Prophet's grief was immense since she was his
  strongest advocate and one of the kindest people
  to him.

5

• He did not take another wife until she died. He
  often remembered her fondly after her death and
  prayed for her.

6

• She bore him all of his sons except Ibrâhîm.
  Their first son was Al-Qâsim who died at a very
  young age.

7

• It is said that he lived until he learned how to
  ride a horse. It was after this son that the
  Prophet (SAWS) was called "Abul-Qâsim".

8

• Their second child was Zaynab who married Al-Âs
  ibn ur-Rubay before the beginning of the
  Message.

9

• She gave birth to Umâmah, who married Ali ibn
  Abu-Tâlib after the death of his wife Fâtimah
  Az-Zahrâ'.

10

• Ruqayyah was the third child, who married Uthmân
  ibn Affân and together they immigrated to
  Abyssinia.

11

• After her death, he married her sister Um-Kulthûm
  in Al- Madînah.

12

• After Ruqayyah, Um-Kulthûm was born and then
  Fâtimah, who married Ali ibn Abu-Tâlib. Fâtimah
  gave birth to Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn.

13

• Abdullâh was then born, who was also called
  At-Tayyib (Arabic good, of noble descent) and
  At-Tâhir (Arabic pure, virtuous).

14

• His birth was after the Message, but he also died
  young.

15

• None of the Prophet's children outlived him
  except for Fâtimah who lived only six months
  after his death.

16

• In the month following the death of Khadîjah, the
  Prophet (SAWS) married the Qurayshi woman Sawdah
  bint Zamah.

17

• She was one of the earliest believers, and had
  immigrated with her husband to Abyssinia during
  the second immigration.

18

• Shortly after their return, the husband died.
  Hence, the Prophet (SAWS) married her.

19

• An older woman, she is the wife who gave up her
  nights with the Prophet (SAWS) to her co-wife,
  Â'ishah, a few years after they were married.

20

• The Prophet then married Â'ishah bint Abu Bakr
  As-Siddîq when she was about six or seven years
  old.

21

• They were wed when she was nine years old. She
  was his dearest wife, and the most knowledgeable
  woman in the nation, to the extent that the
  Prophet's eminent companions used to ask her
  about religious matters.

22

• The revelation never came to the Prophet (SAWS)
  while he was in another woman's bed.

23

• Afterwards, he married Hafsah bint Umar
  ibnul-Khattâb. He then married Zaynab bint
  Khuzaymah ibn ul-Hârith, who died two months
  after their marriage.

24

• He then married the Qurashi woman Um-Salamah Hind
  bint Abu Umayyah.

25

• After that he married his cousin Zaynab bint
  Jahsh who was from the tribe of Banu Asad ibn
  Khuzaymah.

26

• She was the daughter of his paternal aunt
  Umaymah.

27

• He then married Juwayriyah bint ul-Hârith after
  he freed her.

28

• She had been a captive from the tribe of Banu
  Al-Mustaliq, and he did this so that the Muslims
  would follow his example.

29

• Consequently, all the Muslims freed the women
  captives of Al-Mostaliq in honor of this
  marriage.

30

• As a result, the entire tribe of Banu Al-Mustaliq
  embraced Islam, and thus Juwayriyah was the most
  fortunate woman among her people.

31

• Following that, the Prophet (SAWS) married
  Um-Habîbah bint Abu-Sufyîn Sakhr ibn Harb, who
  was also called Hind or Ramlah.

32

• Afterwards, he married Safiyyah bint Huyay ibn
  Akhtab, the chieftain of the tribe of Banu
  An-Nadîr.

33

• His last wife was Maymûnah bint ul-Hârith, who
  had been married before to his uncle, the
  greatest martyr, Hamzah ibn Abdul-Muttalib.

34

• She was also the aunt of Abdullâh ibn Abbâs.
  The Prophet (SAWS) married her in Makkah during
  the Umrah (small pilgrimage to Makkah) he made
  in the seventh Hijri year, but they were not wed
  until he finished his Umrah.

35

• When the Prophet (SAWS) died, he was married to
  nine wives Â'ishah, Hafsah, Zaynab bint Jahsh,
  Um-Salamah, Safiyyah, Um-Habîbah, Maymûnah,
  Sawdah and Juwayriyah.

36

• The first one who died after him was Zaynab bint
  Jahsh, and the last one was Um-Salamah.

37

• He also had four concubines, including Mariah the
  Coptic who is the mother of his son Ibrâhîm, who
  died in his infancy before weaning. This was in
  the tenth Hijri year.

38

• Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) had eleven uncles. Only
  Hamzah and Al-Abbâs, the youngest ones, were
  Muslims.

39

• All of them, except Abu-Tâlib and Az-Zubayr, were
  half-brothers to his father.

40

• He also had six aunts. Only Safiyyah, the mother
  of Az-Zubayr ibnul-Awwâm, was a Muslim.

41

• In addition, Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) had many
  male and female slaves, and he set most of them
  free.

42

• Among them was Zayd ibn Hârithah, whom he set
  free and married off to his freed slave Um Ayman,
  and she gave birth to Usâmah ibn Zayd.

43

• Many were honored to serve him, including Anas
  ibn Mâlik, Abdullâh ibn Masûd, Bilâl ibn Rabâh,
  and AbuDharr Al-Ghifâry.
