قَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ هُوَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : " أَسْلَمَ غَيْلَانُ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا ، وَيُفَارِقَ سَائِرَهُنَّ . وَأَسْلَمَ صَفْوَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَعِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِ نِسْوَةٍ ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُمْسِكَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا ، وَيُفَارِقَ سَائِرَهُنَّ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Ghaylan (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the fold of Islam, he had ten wives in his marriage, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him: "Choose four of them and separate yourself from all the rest." Likewise, when Sayyiduna Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) was honoured with Islam, he had eight wives, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the same command: "Keep four of them in your marriage and separate from all the rest."
