Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5215
This hadith about the Prophet visiting all his wives in one night reports a private household detail narrated by Anas bin Malik. The text says the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to pass by all his wives in one night, and at that time he had nine wives. The hadith is brief and should be explained carefully. It records what happened without adding reasons, judgments, or comparisons that the narration does not mention. The core topic is marital intimacy and household life. Some readers search it as “Prophet had nine wives hadith” or “visited all his wives in one night hadith.” The safe explanation is to say only what the report states: the action occurred, and the number of wives at that time was nine.
