There is a disagreement over the number of the Prophet’s wives: according to Ibn Hisham in his ''[[al-Sira al-nabawiyya]]'', the Prophet had thirteen wives: [[Khadija (a)]], [[Sawda]], [[Aisha]], [[Zaynab bt. Khuzayma]], [[Hafsa bt. Umar]], [[Umm Salama]], [[Zaynab bt. Jahsh]], [[Juwayriyya]], [[Umm Habiba]], [[Safiyya]], [[Maymuna]], Umra bt. Yazid Kilabiyya, and Asmaʾ bt. Nuʿman al-Kindiyya. When the Prophet (s) passed away, all his wives were alive except Khadija (a) and Zaynab bt. Khuzayma. | There is a disagreement over the number of the Prophet’s wives: according to Ibn Hisham in his ''[[al-Sira al-nabawiyya]]'', the Prophet had thirteen wives:<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 2, p. 647.</ref> [[Khadija (a)]], [[Sawda]], [[Aisha]], [[Zaynab bt.

According to a hadith from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], the Prophet (s) had fifteen wives. Moreover, [[Ali b. al-Husayn al-Mas'udi]] and Shams al-Din Dhahabi believe that the Prophet’s wives were fifteen. In some [[hadith]]s, the number amounts to eighteen. Prophet Muhammad (s) had only one wife for twenty-five years; that is, until Khadija (a) was alive. It was after Khadija’s demise and his [[migration to Medina]] that he married other women. | According to a hadith from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]], the Prophet (s) had fifteen wives.
