**Book:** Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq) | **Narrator(s):** Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى, Ahmed bin Ibrahim bin Kathir أحمد بن إبراهيم بن كثير, Isa bin al-Mukhtar عيسى بن المختار بن عبد الله بن عيسى | **Grade:** Sahih

I embraced Islam while I had eight wives. So I mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (said) said: Select four of them.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated to us by Ahmad b. Ibrahim from Hushaim. He said: Qais b. al-Harith instead of al-Harith b. Qais. Ahmad b. Ibrahim said: This is correct, i.e. Qais b. al-Harith.
