The saying of Allah Almighty, "and his wives are their mothers" [Surah al-Ahzab: 6], shows that marrying them (the Pure Wives) is not lawful for them (the believers) in any circumstance. However, marrying their daughters is not unlawful, as marrying the daughters of other mothers is unlawful, whether real or by suckling.
Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The very first wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Sayyidah Khadijah bint Khuwaylid bin Asad bin Abd al-Uzza bin Qusayy (may Allah be pleased with her). He married her in the Time of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah). Her father Khuwaylid gave her to him in marriage. She bore the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) his son al-Qasim (may Allah be pleased with him), by whose name his kunyah was known. Besides him, al-Tahir, Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum and Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with them) were also born of her (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) was married in the Time of Ignorance to Abu al-As bin al-Rabi' bin Abd al-Uzza bin Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf. She bore Abu al-As a daughter, Umamah, who was married to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) after the death of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away while she was still with him. After him she (may Allah be pleased with her) was married to Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Nawfal bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib bin Hashim (may Allah be pleased with him), and she (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away while with him. The mother of Abu al-As bin al-Rabi' was Halah bint Khuwaylid bin Asad, and Sayyidah Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) was his maternal aunt.
