>         Wedlock, Marriage
>                 (Nikaah) 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 1: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      A group of three men came to the houses of the
>      wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet
>      worshipped (Allah), and when they were
>      informed about that, they considered their
>      worship insufficient and said, "Where are we
>      from the Prophet as his past and future sins have
>      been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will
>      offer the prayer throughout the night forever."
>      The other said, "I will fast throughout the year
>      and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will
>      keep away from the women and will not marry
>      forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said,
>      "Are you the same people who said so-and-so?
>      By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and
>      more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break
>      my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So
>      he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is
>      not from me (not one of my followers)." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 2: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Ursa: 
> 
>      that he asked 'Aisha about the Statement of
>      Allah: 'If you fear that you shall not be able to
>      deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry
>      (other) women of your choice, two or three or
>      four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to
>      deal justly (with them), then only one, or (the
>      captives) that your right hands possess. That will
>      be nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.'
>      (4.3) 'Aisha said, "O my nephew! (This Verse
>      has been revealed in connection with) an orphan
>      girl under the guardianship of her guardian who is
>      attracted by her wealth and beauty and intends to
>      marry her with a Mahr less than what other
>      women of her standard deserve. So they (such
>      guardians) have been forbidden to marry them
>      unless they do justice to them and give them their
>      full Mahr, and they are ordered to marry other
>      women instead of them." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 3: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Alqama: 
> 
>      While I was with Abdullah, 'Uthman met him at
>      Mina and said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman ! I have
>      something to say to you." So both of them went
>      aside and 'Uthman said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rah.
>      man! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will
>      make you remember your past days?" When
>      'Abdullah felt that he was not in need of that, he
>      beckoned me (to join him) saying, "O 'Alqama!"
>      Then I heard him saying (in reply to 'Uthman),
>      "As you have said that, (I tell you that) the
>      Prophet once said to us, 'O young people!
>      Whoever among you is able to marry, should
>      marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is
>      recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his
>      sexual power. 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      We were with the Prophet while we were young
>      and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle
>      said, "O young people! Whoever among you can
>      marry, should marry, because it helps him lower
>      his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private
>      parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse
>      etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should
>      fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 5: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Ata: 
> 
>      We presented ourselves along with Ibn 'Abbas at
>      the funeral procession of Maimuna at a place
>      called Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said, "This is the wife of
>      the Prophet so when you lift her bier, do not Jerk
>      it or shake it much, but walk smoothly because
>      the Prophet had nine wives and he used to
>      observe the night turns with eight of them, and for
>      one of them there was no night turn." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6:

>      The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual

>      had nine wives. 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated Said bin Jubair: 
> 
>      Ibn 'Abbas asked me, "Are you married?" I
>      replied, "No." He said, "Marry, for the best
>      person of this (Muslim) nation (i.e., Muhammad)
>      of all other Muslims, had the largest number of
>      wives." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "The rewards (of deeds) are
>      according to the intention, and everybody will get
>      the reward for what he has intended. So
>      whoever emigrated for Allah's and His Apostle's
>      sake, his emigration was for Allah and His
>      Apostle; and whoever emigrated for worldly
>      benefits, or to marry a woman, then his

> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 9:

>      Narrated Ibn Masud: 
> 
>      We used to fight in the holy battles in the
>      company of the Prophet and we had no wives
>      with us. So we said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall

>      so. 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came (from Mecca to
>      Medina) and the Prophet made a bond of
>      brotherhood between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi'
>      Al-Ansari. Al-Ansari had two wives, so he
>      suggested that 'Abdur-Rahman take half, his
>      wives and property. 'Abdur-Rahman replied,
>      "May Allah bless you with your wives and
>      property. Kindly show me the market." So
>      'Abdur-Rahman went to the market and gained
>      (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some
>      butter. After a few days the Prophet saw
>      Abdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his
>      clothes and asked him, "What is that, O
>      'Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I had married an
>      Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "How much
>      Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "The weight
>      of one (date) stone of gold." The Prophet said,
>      "Offer a banquet, even with one sheep."

> 
>      We used to participate in the holy battles led by

> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 14:

>      Narrated 'Aisha : 
> 
>      I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Suppose you landed

>      The rider was the Prophet himself. He said,

>      virgin or a matron? I replied, "A matron." He
>      said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that

> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 20:

> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 22: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      The Prophet stayed for three days between
>      Khaibar and Medina, and there he consummated
>      his marriage to Safiyya bint Huyai. I invited the
>      Muslims to the wedding banquet in which neither
>      meat nor bread was offered. He ordered for
>      leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates,
>      dried yoghurt and butter were laid on it, and that
>      was the Prophet's wedding banquet. The
>      Muslims wondered, "Is she (Saffiyya) considered
>      as his wife or his slave girl?" Then they said, "If
>      he orders her to veil herself, she will be one of
>      the mothers of the Believers; but if he does not
>      order her to veil herself, she will be a slave girl.
>      So when the Prophet proceeded from there, he

> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 23: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle manumitted Safiyya and regarded

> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 24: 
> 
>      Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi: 
> 
>      A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O
>      Allah's Apostle! I have come to give you myself
>      in marriage (without Mahr)." Allah's Apostle
>      looked at her. He looked at her carefully and
>      fixed his glance on her and then lowered his
>      head. When the lady saw that he did not say
>      anything, she sat down. A man from his
>      companions got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
>      If you are not in need of her, then marry her to
>      me." The Prophet said, "Have you got anything
>      to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's
>      Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your
>      family and see if you have something." The man
>      went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, I have
>      not found anything." Allah's Apostle said, "(Go
>      again) and look for something, even if it is an iron
>      ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No,
>      by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I could not find
>      even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist
>      sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I give half of
>      it to her." Allah's Apostle said, "What will she do
>      with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked,
>      and if she wears it, you will be naked." So that
>      man sat down for a long while and then got up
>      (to depart). When Allah's Apostle saw him
>      going, he ordered that he be called back. When
>      he came, the Prophet said, "How much of the
>      Quran do you know?" He said, "I know such
>      Sura and such Sura," counting them. The Prophet
>      said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied,
>      "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I marry her to you
>      for that much of the Quran which you have." 
> 
> Volume 7, Book 62, Number 25:

>      Abu Hudhaifa bin 'Utba bin Rabi'a bin Abdi
>      Shams who had witnessed the battle of Badr
>      along with the Prophet adopted Salim as his son,

>      Al-Walid bin 'Utba bin Rabi'a; and Salim was the
>      freed slave of an Ansar woman, just as the
>      Prophet had adopted Zaid as his son. It was the

>      somebody adopted a boy, the people would call
>      him the son of the adoptive father and he would
>      be the latter's heir. But when Allah revealed the

>      adopted persons were called by their fathers'
