أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ، - وَهُوَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا شَاءَ .
Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak reported to us; he said: Abu Hisham—the Makhzumi, al-Mughirah ibn Salamah—narrated to us; he said: Wuhayb narrated to us; he said: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, from Ata, from Ubayd ibn Umayr, from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not die until Allah had made it lawful for him to marry whichever women he wished.
Translation notes
This wording explicitly concerns permission to marry as many women as he wished, granted before the Prophet’s death.
