Qur’an 33:6 describes the Prophet’s wives as the mothers of the believers. This collection follows the standard biographical list of eleven wives; it does not mean all eleven were married to him at the same time.
Khadijah bint Khuwaylid
The Prophet’s first wife and an early supporter of the revelation.
Sawdah bint Zam‘ah
A wife of the Prophet remembered for family care and generosity.
Hafsah bint Umar
A wife of the Prophet associated with the custody of Qur’anic sheets.
Zaynab bint Khuzaymah
Remembered as Umm al-Masakin for her care for those in need.
Safiyyah bint Huyayy
A wife of the Prophet whose biography connects Khaybar and Madinah.
Maymunah bint al-Harith
A wife of the Prophet and a transmitter of reports about worship.
Names, sources and scope
The profiles use distinct pages for Zaynab bint Khuzaymah and Zaynab bint Jahsh. Each has her own biography and sources. Questions about other women associated with the household, and differing classifications in historical reports, require separate treatment rather than silently adding names to this conventional list.
