Did Allah promise the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that he would marry Lady Mary and Lady Asiyah? And is the narration sound where the Messenger (PBUH) said to Lady Khadijah during her illness before her death: "Convey my greetings to your co-wives," whereupon she asked him: "Did you marry before me?" And he replied: "Allah married me to Mary and Asiyah"? And is this hadith taken into consideration regarding the virtues of deeds?

There are weak and denounced hadiths stating that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Aisha: "O Aisha, do you not know that Allah married me in Paradise to Maryam, daughter of Imran, and Kulthum, sister of Musa, and the wife of Pharaoh," or that the Prophet said to Khadijah while meeting her in death: "When you meet your co-wives, convey my greetings to them," and then he explained to her that he was married to Maryam, Asiyah, and Kulthum. These hadiths are weak. Such reports do not fall under virtuous deeds, because they are not acts of worship.
