List of Muhammad's Wives and
Concubines
According to Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet Muhammad used to visit all eleven of his wives inone night; but he could manage this, as he had the sexual prowess of thirty men.[1] The
historian Al-Tabari calculated that Muhammad married a total of fifteen women, though only
ever eleven at one time; and two of these marriages were never consummated.[2] This tally of
fifteen does not include at least four concubines. According to Merriam-Webster, a concubine
is “a woman with whom a man cohabits without being married”, and has a “social status in a
household below that of a wife.”[3] All of Muhammad’s concubines were his slaves. Al-
Tabari also excludes from the fifteen several other women with whom Muhammad had some
kind of marriage contract but who, due to legal technicalities, never became full wives. It is
fairly certain, however, that none of these unions was ever consummated. They were the
cultural equivalent of a broken engagement. Finally, there were several other women whom
Muhammad wished to marry, or whom he was invited to marry, but for various reasons hedid not.

The following lists of women in Muhammad’s life are based on the Islamic sources. Because
there were so many women, some of whom had only a very brief association with him, it is
possible that this number still falls short of the real total.

2Sawda bint
Zam'a
Married,
though
with
limited
rights.
May 620.
She was a tanner who had
been an early convert to
Islam. Muhammad
married her at a time
when he was unpopular
and bankrupt. He
considered divorcing her
when, as the oldest and
plainest of his wives
(described as "fat and
very slow"), she no
longer attracted him, butshe persuaded him to
keep her in the house in
exchange for never
sleeping with her again
(she gave up her turn to
Aisha).

She was the daughter of
Muhammad's best friend
and head evangelist Abu
Bakr. Muhammad
selected the six-year-oldAisha in preference to her
teenaged sister, and she
remained his favourite
wife. She contributed a
major body of
information to Islamic
law and history. The
paedophilic aspect of this
relationship has
institutionalised such
marriages within Islam.

Married April 626.
An attractive widow with
four young children, Hind
had been rejected by her
aristocratic family in
Mecca because they were
so hostile to Islam. Her
tact and practical wisdom
sometimes mitigated
Muhammad's cruelties.
She was a notable teacher
of Islamic law and a
partisan of Ali.

An early convert to Islam,
Zaynab was the wife of
Muhammad's adopted son
Zayd ibn Harithah. She
was also the Prophet's
biological cousin. When
Muhammad became
infatuated with Zaynab,
Zayd was pressured into a
divorce. To justify
marrying her, Muhammadannounced new
revelations that (1) an
adopted son did not count
as a real son, so Zaynab
was not his daughter-in-
law, and (2) as a prophet,
he was allowed more than
the standard four wives.
Zaynab excelled at
leather-crafts.

Juwayriyah
bint Al-

Married January 628.
The daughter of an Arab
chief, she was taken
prisoner when
Muhammad attacked her
tribe. Muhammad did not
make a habit of marrying
his war-captives, but

beautiful that men always

(following a
proxy wedding
earlier in the
year)
She was a daughter of
Abu Sufyan, the Meccanchief who led the
resistance against
Muhammad, but she had
been a teenaged convert
to Islam. This marriage
offset some of
Muhammad's political
humiliation in the Treaty
of Hudaybiya by
demonstrating that he
could command theloyalty of his adversary's
own daughter. Ramlah
was devoted to
Muhammad and quick to
pick quarrels with people
who were not.

defeated tribe, who were
banished from Arabia a
few years later; its real

that Safiyah's presence inMuhammad's household

She was an aunt of Khawla bint

4Layla bint
al-KhutaymAfter 627.
One of the first converts in Medina,
Layla asked Muhammad to marry her so
that her clan, the Zafar, would be the
most closely allied to the Prophet. He
agreed. However, Layla's family warned
her that she was too "jealous and whip-
tongued" to adapt well to polygamy,
which would cause political problems
for the whole community. Under this
pressure, Layla broke off theengagement.

She was the sister of Sana (above).
After Sana died, their father tried to

Muhammad said that Allah had wedded
him in Heaven to the Virgin Mary, who
was one of the four perfect women. The

Egypt was one of the four perfect women. The
Qur'an tells how Asiya rescued the
infant Moses from the evil Pharaoh, and
how Pharaoh later tortured his wife to
death for her monotheism. Muhammad
said that Asiya's palace in Heaven wason the other side of Khadijah's.

Muhammad originally believed that
Maryam the sister of Moses and
Maryam the mother of Jesus were one
and the same. When he realised his
mistake, he apparently over-corrected
by deciding that Moses' sister was not
even named Maryam. He renamed her
Kulthum ("Chubby Cheeks") and said
that Allah had wedded her to him inHeaven. He did not say that she was a
perfect woman or that she lived next to
Khadijah.

before

c. 631
Muhammad proposed to his cousin
Fakhita, but her father married heroff to a wealthy Makhzumite poet.
Nearly forty years later, after
Muhammad conquered Mecca,
Fakhita's husband fled rather than
convert to Islam, causing an
automatic divorce. Muhammad
proposed to Fakhita again, but she
refused, saying she could not be
equally fair to a new husband and her
young children.
Later still, Fakhita came to
Muhammad, saying her children had
grown up and she was finally ready
to marry him; but he said she was too
late.

only he would stop insulting their
gods. Muhammad refused this offer,
which was made while Khadijah was
still alive.
3Habiba bint
Sahlc. 623.
Habiba was a prominent member of
the Najjar clan in Medina. When the
chief died with no obvious heir,
Muhammad proposed to Habiba. His
companions warned him that the
women of Medina were not used to
polygamy and that the men were very
jealous for the happiness of their
daughters; if this marriage turned out
badly, key citizens might withdraw
their support from Islam. Muhammad
retracted his proposal, but the Najjarclan made him their chief anyway.

This unnamed woman proposed to
Muhammad in Hafsa's presence.
Hafsa decried the shame of a woman
who would throw herself at a man,
but Muhammad retorted, "She is
better than you because she wanted
me while you only find fault." He
refused the proposal, but promised
the woman a reward in Paradise for
asking.
In fact several ansar women are said
to have proposed to Muhammad;
while this example is anonymous, it
clearly refers to a woman who is
distinct from Layla bint Khutaym.

5Khawla bint
HakimAfter 627.
This is the same Khawla bint Hakim
who arranged Muhammad's
marriages to Aisha and Sawda. Her
first husband was Hafsa's uncle, andtheir elder son fought at Badr. After
being widowed, Khawla asked
Muhammad to marry her, but he
refused without giving a reason.
However, he found her a new

grown-up son had been born from
her third marriage) so he retracted his
proposal before he had even met her.
7Izza bint Abi
Sufyan
After July
628.
She was the sister of Muhammad’s
wife Ramlah. Ramlah proposed Izza
as a bride, "since, as I cannot be your
only wife, I would like to share my
good fortune with my sister." But
Muhammad said he could not marry
two sisters concurrently.

8 Durrah bintAbi Salama
After July628.
She was the daughter of
Muhammad's wife Hind. Another
wife, Ramlah, noticed that
Muhammad admired Durrah and
asked if he intended to marry her. Hereplied that he could not marry his
stepdaughter; and besides, her father
had been his foster-brother. On the
day Muhammad died, Durrah was
only six years old.

She was Muhammad's cousin and
said to be the prettiest girl in the

marry her because her father had
been his foster-brother. She later
married his stepson, Salama ibn Abi

She was a war-captive from

placing her personal happiness abovethe political needs of the tribe.
