Sahih al-Bukhari 5067 (Book 67, Hadith 5) #4851
The Prophet's Night Turns

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) had nine wives and he used to observe the night turns with eight of them, but for one of them there was no night turn.

Narrated 'Ata: We presented ourselves along with Ibn 'Abbas at the funeral procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said, "This is the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her bier, do not Jerk it or shake it much, but walk smoothly because the Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe the night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was no night turn".
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ حَضَرْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَنَازَةَ مَيْمُونَةَ بِسَرِفَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذِهِ زَوْجَةُ النَّبِيِّ فَإِذَا رَفَعْتُمْ نَعْشَهَا فَلاَ تُزَعْزِعُوهَا وَلاَ تُزَلْزِلُوهَا وَارْفُقُوا، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ تِسْعٌ، كَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِثَمَانٍ وَلاَ يَقْسِمُ لِوَاحِدَةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ relationship with his wives. He had nine wives and he would take turns spending time with each of them at night. However, for one wife there was no night turn as she passed away before him. This teaches us that we should be kind and gentle when dealing with people who have passed away as they were once loved by someone in life. We should also strive to treat our spouses fairly and equally by taking turns spending time with each other so that everyone feels valued and appreciated in the relationship.
