Sahih BukhariHadith Number 4258
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَيْمُونَةَ وَهْوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَبَنَى بِهَا وَهْوَ حَلاَلٌ وَمَاتَتْ بِسَرِفَ.
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) married Maimuna while he was in the state of Ihram but he consummated that marriage after finishing that state. Maimuna died at Saraf (i.e. a place near Mecca).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4258
This Prophet married Maimuna hadith reports a specific detail from Ibn Abbas. He said the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم married Maimuna while he was in the state of Ihram, but consummated the marriage after finishing that state. The narration also says that Maimuna died at Saraf, a place near Mecca. The text should be read carefully because it separates two things: the marriage itself and the consummation after Ihram ended. For readers searching for Maimuna marriage hadith or marriage during Ihram hadith, this is the central point. The hadith does not give a long legal discussion here, so the explanation stays with the exact events described in the report.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith separates the marriage from the later consummation.
- Ibn Abbas reported that the marriage happened while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was in Ihram.
- The report also preserves the place where Maimuna died: Saraf.
