  • Differing Views On Previous Marriages Of Hazrat Khadija Ra

    I wanna know which view is the most authentic about the previous marriages of Hazrat Khadija ra.: either of the two given below (mention in wikipedia) or any other

    Sunni version

    Most Sunnis accept that Khadija married three times and had children from all her marriages. While the order of her marriages is debated, it is generally believed that she first married Atiq ibn ‘A’idh ibn’ Abdullah Al-Makhzumi, followed by Malik ibn Nabash ibn Zargari ibn at-Tamimi. To Atiq, Khadija bore a daughter named Hindah. This marriage left Khadija a widow. With Malik, she had two sons, who were named Hala and Hind. Malik also left Khadija a widow, dying before his business became a success. Khadija subsequently proposed to Muhammad. Her respect for him had taken a place in her heart.

    Shia version

    Ibn Shahrashub quoted from al-Sayyid al-Murtada in al-Shafi and al-Shaykh al-Tusi in al-Talkhis, that Khadija was a virgin when she married Muhammad. Considering the cultural and intellectual situation in Hijaz, and the high position and status Khadija al-Kubra enjoyed, among other people, it is improbable that she would have married men from Banu Tamim or Banu Makhzum (the two ‘low’ tribes; see the Sunni version below). Some believe the two children attributed to Khadija were the children of Hala, Khadija’s sister. After the death of Hala’s husband, Khadija took care of Hala and (after Hala’s own death) Hala’s children.

    The lineage of Quresh is very well documented in the books of lineage. Hazrat Khadiah was a widow and had children from the previous husbands.

    Shia version is based on Aqeedat which denies the historical facts.
