This in spite of the fact that they often lived for months at a time with only dates and water in the house to eat. They gave advice to their husband when he needed it, went with him to battle to nurse the wounded, accompanied him on his travels. They preserved the memory of intimate details of their married life in order to educate succeeding generations in the rules of purification and relations between spouses.

Who were they? They were the wives of the Prophet Muhammad, respected and revered as the Mothers of the Believers.
