-So if he mistreated her, then why did she narrate 2210 hadith and not say a single negative thing about him? -The prophet (SAW) died when she was 18. She refused to marry anyone other than him, and spent the rest of her life spreading the message of Islam. Clearly she loved him very much and loved Islam. -Clearly this was ordained by God (SWT) for her to be someone to carry on the message after he died. -The prophet (SAW) having multiple wives makes it hard for someone to question the authenticity of his wives' hadith. For if he had just one wife, others could discount what she said as lies. But if several are all saying the same thing, this is authentic. -They never had kids, either.
