Remembrance 1
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that Anas Honorific symbol narrated that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol consummated his marriage with Zaynab Honorific symbol and gave a banquet with bread and meat. He described the banquet and the number of guests who were invited to it. Then he said: “Then the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol went out and went to the room of ‘Ā’ishah Honorific symbol and said: ‘Peace be upon you, people of the house, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.’ She answered: ‘And on you be peace and the mercy of Allah. How did you find your family [i.e. wife]? May Allah bless you.’ He visited the rooms of all his wives and said the same as he had said to ‘Ā’ishah Honorific symbol, and they said the same as she had said.” [1].
