The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) married the following women: 

1 – Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid (may Allaah be pleased with
her) 

She was the first of his wives. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her when he was twenty-five years
old, and he did not take another wife until after she died. All his children
were born from her, except Ibraaheem. 

Al-Bukhaari entitled a chapter in his Saheeh: “The
marriage of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to
Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her), and her virtues,” in which he
narrated a hadeeth from ‘Aa’ishah who said: “I never felt jealous of any of
the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as
I did of Khadeejah, although she died before he married me, because of what
I heard him say about her.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3815. 

2 – Sawdah bint Zam’ah ibn Qays 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
married her in the tenth year of his Prophethood. Tabaqaat Ibn Sa’d,
narrating from al-Waaqidi, 8/52-53; Ibn Katheer in al-Bidaayah
wa’l-Nihaayah, 3/149 

3 – ‘Aa’ishah bint Abi Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased
with her) 

The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her in Shawwaal of the tenth
year of the Prophethood. Ibn Sa’d, 8/58-59. She herself said: “The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married me when I was six
years old, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine.” Narrated
by al-Bukhaari, 3894; Muslim, 1422. Al-Bukhaari (5077) also narrated that
the Messenger of Allaah (S) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
did not marry any virgin apart form her. 

4 – Hafsah bint ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with her) 

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that Hafsah’s husband Khunays ibn Hudhaafah, who was one
of the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) and had been present at Badr, died in Madeenah. ‘Umar
ibn al-Khattaab said: I met ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan and offered Hafsah to him
in marriage. I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah bint ‘Umar to you. He
said: I will think about it. Several nights passed, then he said: I think
that I do not want to get married at this time. ‘Umar said: Then I met Abu
Bakr and I said: If you wish, I will marry Hafsah bint ‘Umar to you. Abu
Bakr kept quiet and did not give me any response. I was more upset about him
than about ‘Uthmaan. Several nights passed, then the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) proposed to her and I
married her to him. Then Abu Bakr met me and said: Perhaps you felt upset
when you offered Hafsah in marriage to me and I did not reply? I said: Yes.
He said: Nothing prevented me from responding to your offer but the fact
that I knew that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) had mentioned her, and I did not want to disclose the secret of
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). If
he had decided not to marry her, I would have accepted your offer.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4005. 

5 – Zaynab bint Khuzaymah (may Allaah be pleased with her) 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
married her in Ramadaan, thirty-one months after the Hijrah. Tabaqaat Ibn
Sa’d, 8/115 

6 – Umm Salamah bint Abi Umayyah (may Allaah be pleased with
her) 

Muslim (918) narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased
with her) said:  I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) say: “There is no person who is faced with a calamity
and says Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon, Allaahumma ujurni fi
museebati w'ukhluf li khayran minha (Truly, to Allaah we belong
and truly, to Him we shall return; O Allaah, reward me
in this calamity and compensate me with something better than it) but
Allaah will reward him in his calamity and will compensate him with
something better than that.” She said: When Abu Salamah died, I said what
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had
commanded me, and Allaah compensated me with someone better than him: the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

According to another report: when Abu Salamah died, I said:
Who is better than Abu Salamah, the companion of the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? But Allaah decreed that I
should say it. Then I got married to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

7 – Juwayriyah bint al-Haarith (may Allaah be pleased with
her) 

She fell prisoner to the Muslims during the battle of
Banu’l-Mustalaq, and she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) to ask him to help her to manumit herself and buy her
freedom. He offered to buy her freedom and marry her, and she accepted. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her and
made her manumission her dowry. When the people came to know of that, they
set free their own prisoners, so as to honour the in-laws of the Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). No woman brought a greater
blessing to her people than she did. Narrated by Ibn Ishaaq with a hasan
isnaad. Seerat Ibn Hishaam, 3/408-409. 

8 – Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with her) 

Concerning her Allaah
revealed the words (interpretation of the meaning): 

“So when Zayd had
accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in
marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in
respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter
have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them)”

[al-Ahzaab 33:37] 

She used to boast about this to the other wives of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), saying: “Your
families arranged your marriages but Allaah arranged my marriage from above
the seven heavens.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7420. 

9 – Umm Habeebah bint Abi Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with
her): 

Abu Dawood (2107) narrated from ‘Urwah from Umm Habeebah (may
Allaah be pleased with her) that she was married to ‘Ubayd-Allaah ibn Jahsh,
who died in Abyssinia. Then the Negus married her to the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and gave her a mahr of four thousand on
his behalf, and sent her to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) with Shurahbeel ibn Hasanah. Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani. 

10- Maymoonah bint al-Haarith (may Allaah be pleased with
her) 

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
married Maymoonah when he was in ihraam. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1832;
Muslim, 1410. 

The words “when he was
in ihraam” are a mistake. In fact the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) married her after he exited ihraam following ‘Umrat
al-Qada’. 

See Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/113; Fath al-Baari,
hadeeth no. 5114. 

11 – Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab (may Allaah be pleased
with her) 

The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set her free and married
her after the battle of Khaybar. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 371. 

These are the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) with whom he consummated marriage. Two of them died
during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), namely Khadeejah and Zaynab bint Khuzaymah (may Allaah be pleased
with them both). The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) left behind nine wives when he died; there is no difference of
scholarly opinion on this matter.  

See Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/105-114 

It was said that Rayhaanah bint ‘Amr al-Nadariyyah (or
al-Quraziyyah) was also one of his wives. She was taken prisoner during the
battle of Bani Qurayzah, and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) chose her for himself and married her, then
he divorced her then took her back. Tabaqaat Ibn Sa’d , narrating
from al-Waaqidi, 8/130 

And it was said that she was a concubine. This was regarded
as more likely by Ibn al-Qayyim in Zaad al-Ma’aad.
