The answer

The relationship between the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was based on sisterhood in faith and love for the sake of Allah, alongside the natural jealousy that exists between co-wives. However, their piety and God-consciousness prevented the harmful effects of such jealousy, diverting them from transgression and corruption. The Prophet (peace be upon him) acknowledged this jealousy and dealt with it with wisdom and justice. This did not prevent mutual praise and good companionship among them. Ultimately, the fundamental principle in the interactions of believers remains brotherhood for the sake of Allah and the disciplining of the self from whims and desires.
