Did prophet Mohammed divorce his wife?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Muhammad divorced several women, but the majority of these divorces were before he had consummated the marriage, so they were more like what we would call a broken engagement. However, he divorced two women after he had consummated the marriage and two more with whom he had been in a compromising position of being alone with them, although these marriages were not actually consummated. These four women are not given the title "Mother of the Faithful" and they are often omitted from lists of Muhammad's wives. Here are their names.

1. Mulayka bint Kaab. She was from the Layth tribe near Mecca. She did not realise when she married Muhammad that his army had killed her father. When Aisha informed her of this, Mulayka asked for a divorce, which Muhammad granted.

2. Fatima bint Al-Dahhak. She was from the Kilab tribe. She did not keep the rules about veiling very strictly: instead of sitting at home, she would watch the men in the mosque. When Muhammad found out, he divorced her.

3. Asma bint Al-Numan. She was a princess from Yemen. Aisha tricked her by telling her that Muhammad would be pleased if she told him, "I seek refuge in Allah from thee!" Asma naively said these Words on the wedding night, not realising that they were the divorce formula. Muhammad said he could not stay married to a woman who had said this to him, so he returned the dower and sent Asma home.

4. Amra bint Yazid. She was also from the Kilab tribe. Muhammad discovered on the wedding night that she had leprosy, so he divorced her before the consummation.

Muhammad began to divorce both Sawda bint Zamaa(because she grew old) and Hafsa bint Umar(because she was argumentative). In both cases, he changed his mind and took them back. It is also said that he began to divorce Rayhana bint Zayd because of her jealousy but that he later reconciled with her. However, others say that Rayhana was only a concubine. If this is correct, it would have been impossible for him to divorce her.
