NIGHT SESSIONS

We have one important hadIs which provides another indulgence to the believers and also throws some light on the Prophet�s sexual code.  In order to be impartial, a believer should visit his wives by turn.  But while he is in bed with one of them, he is allowed to have his other wives around.  Anas, one of the servants of Muhammad, reports that �all the wives of the Messenger of Allah used to gather every night in the house of one where he [the Apostle] had to come. . . . It was the night in the house of �Aisha, when Zainab came there.  He [the Holy Prophet] stretched his hand towards her [Zainab], whereupon she [�Aisha] said: it is Zainab.  Allah�s Apostle withdrew his hand.  There was an altercation between the two until their voices became loud.� When the morning prayer was announced, AbU Bakr came to get Muhammad; hearing their voices, he said: �Messenger of Allah, come for prayer, and throw dust in their mouths� (3450).
