أَخْبَرَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: أَسْلَمْتُ وَتَحْتِي خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "فَارِقْ وَاحِدَةً، وَأَمْسِكْ أَرْبَعًا" فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى أَقْدَمِهِنَّ عِنْدِي عَاقِرٌ مُنْذُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَفَارَقْتُهَا.
Nawfal bin Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I became Muslim while I had five wives. I asked the Prophet ﷺ, and he ﷺ said: "Divorce one and keep the remaining four (in marriage)." So I divorced the first of them, who had been barren for sixty years.
