Bukhari – “The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.”

Islamophobes and missionaries like to twist and mistranslate hadiths to justify their bias agendas. With this hadith, they quote Sahih Bukhari and claim that Muhammad had sexual intercourse with all of his wives in one night.

They use this:

Bukhari (62:6) – “The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.”

But this isn’t even correct! Here is the translation.

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَهُ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ

Translation: Narrated Anas: The Prophet used to visit all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.” Bukhari Volume 7 Book 62 Hadith 6

The actual version shows there is nothing special in the above hadith, It only shows that Muhammad was a responsible and caring person and cared for all of his wives.

If I visit all my family members in the night, does it mean I am having sexual intercourse with them? NOT AT ALL. According to the missionaries and Islamophobes rational it does. This is how irrational they are.
