Hadith text: Divorce whomever of them you wish

عن الضحاك بن فيروز، عن أبيه قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، إني أسلمت وتحتي أختان؟، قال: «طَلِّق أيتَهُما شِئتَ».

Explanation of the hadith: Divorce whomever of them you wish

Fayrūz ad-Daylami (may Allah be pleased with him) was a Companion from Yemen. He was married to two sisters when he embraced Islam. In the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, people used to combine two sisters in marriage without finding fault with that. Therefore, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded Fayrūz to keep one of the two sisters as his wife and divorce the other. In Islam, it is not permissible to combine two sisters in marriage.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
