the prophet muhammad (saas) - Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for All

According to Aisha (ra), "I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members
than Muhammad (saas)."203
Another characteristic the Prophet (saas) is known to have possessed is his great justice towards his
wives. It is reported that he divided his visits between them equally.
Anas bin Malik (ra) says:
"Allah's Apostle (saas) had nine wives. So when he divided (his stay) with them, the turn of the first
wife only came on the ninth (day). They (all the wives) used to gather every night in the house of the one
where he had to come (and stay that night)."204
Many of the words of the Prophet (saas) make it clear just how valuable devout women are. For
instance, one of his sayings was as follows: "The whole world is a provision, and the best object of benefit of
the world is the pious woman."205
The Prophet (saas) also told his companions how they should treat their own wives:
"The most perfect believer in faith is one who is the best of them in good conduct. The best of you is
one who treats best with his wife among you."206
"The best of you, is the one who is best to his wives, and I am the best of you toward my wives."207
