Chapter 40: A man became Muslim and he has more than four wives

باب الرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ وَعِنْدَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ

Sunan Ibn Majah 1952

It was narrated that Qais bin Harith said: “I became Muslim and I had eight wives. I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him about that. He said: 'Choose four of them.' ”

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ حُمَيْضَةَ بِنْتِ الشَّمَرْدَلِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي ثَمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏
