We presented ourselves along with Ibn ‘Abbas at the funeral procession of Maimuna at a place
called Sarif. Ibn ‘Abbas said, “This is the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her bier, do not Jerk it or
shake it much, but walk smoothly because the Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe the
night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was no night turn.”

woman, then his emigration was for the thing for what he emigrated for.” (1)

with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market.” So ‘Abdur-Rahman went to the market
and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet saw Ab –
dur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes and asked him, “What is that, O ‘Abdur-Rah –
