The answer

Muslims are commanded to emulate the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for the Prophet disliked monasticism and called to his Sunnah, which includes marriage, sleep, and eating. The Quran spoke about the Prophet's wives in two ways: general verses that include all believing women, and others specific to them. These verses highlight great manners, including: refraining from excessive scrutiny in dealing with wives and overlooking some of their mistakes, adhering to the Book and the Sunnah, and being patient with hardship. For Allah Almighty gave the Prophet's wives a choice between the pleasures of this world and the Hereafter, and they chose Allah, His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter, so they had a great reward.
