Why Holy Prophet Used To Visit All His Wives in One Night?
Translation:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet I used to go round all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives."
(Bukhari ::Volume 7 :: Book 62 :: Hadith 6)
There is nothing special in the Hadith. It in fact shows that he cared for all his wives and went to see them.
WRONG TRANSLATION:
The query probably rises from the famous translation of this Hadith which is there in well known software. In
that software it reads;
"The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives."
One can clearly see that the words "have sexual relations with" are in parenthesis that is to say these are not the
direct meanings of the Arabic words but addition by the translator to help understand according to his
understanding.
But I disagree with his understanding and thus believe that these words in the parentheses are not helping to
understand better but rather are misleading. Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did visit them all
but it’s not that he had sexual relations with each of them every night.
I AM NOT TALKING IN AIR, READ THE FOLLOWING HADITH, IT EXPLAINS THE WHOLE
THING.
It makes it clear beyond all doubt here that he visited all of them just to see them and dint have intercourse with
each of them but only with the one whose turn was it that day.
Now what we see is that these 'scholars' who have put on the glasses of prejudice without catering for to
know the real meanings pour out their inner wickedness. May ALLAH give them guidance!
