Al-Arba'in On the Memorable Qualities of the Mothers of the Believers

Abd Ar-Rahman ibn Asakir

Beginning with biographical notes on the wives of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), Ibn ‘Asakir takes the reader through a remarkable collection of hadith describing the virtues of the ‘Mothers of the Believers’, an appellation invested on the wives of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) by the Qur’anic text itself.
