Sunan Ibn Majah 1953
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
“Ghailan bin Salamah became Muslim and he had ten wives. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: ‘Choose four of them.’ ”
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَسْلَمَ غَيْلاَنُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ” خُذْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا ” .
