Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي

Ibn 'Abbas asked me, "Are you married?" I replied, "No." He said, "Marry, for the best person of this (Muslim) nation (i.e., Muhammad) of all other Muslims, had the largest number of wives."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ رَقَبَةَ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ الْيَامِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : "

فَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَكْثَرُهَا نِسَاءً
