The answer

The number of the Prophet's wives, peace and blessings be upon him, who were from the Quraysh, is six: Khadijah, Aisha, Hafsa, Umm Habibah, Umm Salamah, and Sawdah. He married Khadijah before his prophethood, when he was 25 years old and she was 40. He did not marry another woman until her death, and she bore him all his children except Ibrahim. After her death, he married Sawdah, then he contracted marriage with Aisha when she was six, and he consummated the marriage with her during the Hijra when she was nine years old. He married the rest of his wives in Medina after the Hijra.
