Great Virtues of Prophet Muhammad in Matters of Sex
09/08/2009
- When the 50 year old apostle married the 6 year old beauty Ayesha, her father Abu Bakr told him not to have sex with her for 3 years. He gave his word and waited for three years for consummation.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he
consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she
remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
SELF CONTROL
Allah's Apostle had excellent control on himself. He could fondle any of his wives then walk away...
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 299:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad:
(on the authority of his father) 'Aisha said: "Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her." 'Aisha added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet could."
Bukhar, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 300:
Narrated Maimuna:
When ever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle any of his wives
during the periods (menses), he used to ask her to wear an Izar.
GENEROSITY
Apostle of God shared his slave girls and captured women with his friends and relatives.
(Ref: Waqqidi, Tabari)
A fifth of the booty was, as usual, reserved for the Prophet, and
the rest divided. From the fifth Mahomet MADE CERTAIN PRESENTS TO
HIS FRIENDS OF FEMALE CAPTIVES AND CHILDREN. (Ref. Waqqidi, Tabari,
and Ishaq)
Mahomet had part of his share of enslaved women and children from
Quraiza sent and sold to the Bedouin tribes of Najd , in exchange
for horses and arms.
The History of Tabari, vol. 8, p. 29-30:
From his share of captive women, prophet gave his son-in-law, Ali
a slave girl, Raytah bt Hilal to enjoy her at his will. He also
presented Uthman b. Affan, his son-in-law, another slave girl Zainab
b. Hayan, and bestowed another girl (name unknown) to his father
in-law Omar Ibn Khattab. Omar gave that girl to his son Abdullah.
Most of Prophet's other elite companions received slave girls as
gifts...
SELF SACRIFICE
Once Apostle of God took a gorgeous young slave-girl from a jihadi (who was given as booty to him by Abu Bakr after a raid on tribe Fazara), and instead of disrobing and enjoying this irresistible girl (described as prettiest in Arabia) himself, he used her as ransom for imprisoned jihadis.
Muslim Book 019, Number 4345:
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:
Among captured women was a woman from Banu Fazara. She was
wearing a leather coat. With her was her daughter who was one of the
PRETTIEST GIRLS IN ARABIA. Abu Bakr bestowed that girl upon me as a
prize. So we arrived in Medina.
I met prophet in the Medina street who said: Give me that girl, O
Salama. I said: Messenger of Allah, she has fascinated me. I had not
yet disrobed her. When on the next day. the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) again met me in the street, he said: O Salama,
give me that girl, may God bless your father. I said: She is for
you. Messenger of Allah! By Allah. I have not yet disrobed her. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) SENT HER TO THE PEOPLE OF
MECCA AND SURRENDERED HER AS RANSOM FOR A NUMBER OF MUSLIMS WHO HAD
BEEN KEPT AS PRISONERS AT MECCA.
COMPASSION
Muslims used to flog their wives (allowed by Quran 4:34) when they were disobedient but afterwards they had habit of having sex with them. It is very painful for women to lie on their backs for sex after a good beating as the lashes cause open wounds . Apostle was a very compassionate man and he therefore prohibited muslims to have sex with wives on the day of their flogging.
Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 132:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zam'a:
The Prophet said, "None of you should flog his wife as he flogs a
slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of
the day."
WHILE HAVING SEX
Always say Insha Allah (God willing) before having sex.
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 74i:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Once Solomon, son of David said, '(By Allah)
Tonight I will have sexual intercourse with one hundred (or
ninety-nine) women each of whom will give birth to a knight who will
fight in Allah's Cause.' On that a (i.e. if Allah wills) but he did
not say, 'Allah willing.' Therefore only one of those women
conceived and gave birth to a half-man. By Him in Whose Hands
Muhammad's life is, if he had said, "Allah willing', (he would have
begotten sons) all of whom would have been knights striving in
Allah's Cause."
The better looking partner should discharge first when copulating.
Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 55, Number 546:
Allah's Apostle said, "Gabriel has just now told me of the answer. If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble him, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her."
HARD WORKING & BUSY HAVING SEX
The Apostle was a very hard working and busy man. Travelling and raiding took most of his time. When in Madina he used to be even busier with all the prophetic chores. His nights were the busiest. Between having sex with all his nine wives, taking baths and making wudu after each encounter, and leading isha, taujjud and fajar prayers in between, he hardly had time to sleep. That only left him daytime for other chores and having sex with concubines. Remember it was the day time that when Habsa found him sleeping with Maria in her (Habsa's) bed (surah tehrim 66).
Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6:
Narrated Anas:
"The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all
his wives in one night, and he had nine wives".
A FAIR MAN IN ACQUIRING SEX-SLAVES
The apostle believed in fair compensation. Whenever he liked a captured woman falling in another jihadi's lot, and wanted her for himself, he compensated him fairly...
Muslim Book 008, Number 3329:
Anas, (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Safiyya (Allah be pleased with her) fell to the lot of Dihya in the spoils of war, and they praised her in the presence of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: We have not seen the like of her among the captives of war. He sent (a messenger) to Dihya and he gave him whatever he demanded ( he was given two young cousins of Safia in leiu of Safia by the prophet). He then sent Safia to my mother and asked her to embellish her. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) then got out of Khaibar until when he was on the other side of it, he halted, and a tent was pitched for him ( He spent the night with her there).
After Mustaliq raid, Juwairiya, the young and pretty wife of their murdered chief , fell to the the lot of Thabit Bin Qais. The apostle paid Thabit 9 oakes of gold (an exorbitant price) and bought her from him (Apostle, could have kicked Thabit's ass for asking such a large sum for something he got for free, but he was fair and paid the asking price).
Bukhari yol 3,Book46, No. 717
"Narrated Ibn Aun:
I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that
the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning
while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the
places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and
children were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that
day.
PRAGMATIC IN MEETING SEXUAL NEED OF
JIHADIS
The apostle was a very pragmatic man. To be fair, after every raid he used a lottery system to award captured women. Often many jihadis got nothing while others got young beauties. It can be be very frustrating to sleep alone, when the fellow jihadi in the next bed is sleeping with a young beauty. Some jihadis used to go berserk with frustration and threatened to castrate themselves. Apostle being a pragmatic man did not want castrated jihadis in his fighting force. He therefore allowed them to use prostitutes in nearby villages.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 130
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We used to participate in the holy battles led by Allah's Apostle and we had nothing (no wives) with us. So we said, "Shall we get ourselves castrated?" He forbade us that and then allowed us to marry women with a temporary contract
Jihadis, who got captured women, used to enjoy them for a while and then trade them in, at a slave market for a new woman or just cash. Problem was that whenever those women got pregnant, their value went down fast. Slave markets used to offer pregnant women low prices. So they asked apostle's opinion about coitus interrruptus. Apostle was pragmatic. His interest was increasing muslim population.
Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 432:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
that while he was sitting with Allah's Apostle he said, "O Allah's Apostle! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interrupt us?" The Prophet said, "Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence.
QUICK
THINKER IN CHOOSING BEAUTIFUL SEX-PARTNER
The apostle could think fast. See how he handled the following two situations with his quick thinking.
Hamza's daughter was ugly and the compassionate prophet didn't want her.
Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 37:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?"
He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's-daughter)."
But Abu's pretty daughter, 6-year-old Aisha, was also his foster-niece by the same token. But prophet really wanted her.
Muslim Book 62, Number 18:
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr
said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother
in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me
to marry."
