The Prophet Muḥammad's wives were in the status of the mothers of believers. Therefore their life stories and places in the Prophet's sirah are of great importance to Muslims. They were close to the Prophet for most of their daily lives, listened to his words and observed his behaviors. In addition, they played an important role in transmitting these words and behaviors, which are the Prophet's sunnah, to the next generations. These ladies who were the household of the Prophet, in some cases caused the verses of the Qur'an to be revealed. They contributed to Islamic knowledge in many ways. This means that their recognition is necessary for the correct understanding of the Prophet's sunnah and sirah. Except for ʿĀʾisha, these wives of the Prophet were widows and some of them had children from their previous spouses. But the Prophet's children were born from only two wives, Khadīja and Māriya. In this article, the Prophet's wives and children are introduced in general terms; the Prophet's family life, the relations of his wives with each other and the reflections of these relations in the verses are briefly mentioned.
