I. Read the text to answer the questions
At the age of 25, Muhammad married the wealthy
Khadijah bint Khuwaylid who was 40 years old at
that time. The marriage lasted for 25 years and was
a happy one. Muhammad relied upon Khadija in
many ways and did not enter into marriage with
another woman during this marriage. After the
death of Khadija, it was suggested to Muhammad
by Khawla bint Hakim that he should marry Sawda
bint Zama, a Muslim widow, or Aisha, daughter of
Um Ruman and Abu Bakr of Mecca. Muhammad is
said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry
both.
Traditional sources dictate that Aisha was six or
seven years old when betrothed to Muhammad but
the marriage was not consummated until she was
nine or ten years old. While the majority of
traditional sources indicate Aisha was prepubescent
(and therefore a virgin) at the time of marriage, a
small number of more recent writers have variously
estimated her age at 15 to 24.
Later, Muhammad married additional wives, nine of
whom survived him. Aisha, who became known as
Muhammad's favourite wife in Sunni tradition,
survived him by many decades and was
instrumental in helping to bring together the
scattered sayings of Muhammad that would form
the Hadith literature for the Sunni branch of Islam.
After migration to Medina, Muhammad (who was
now in his fifties) married several women. These
marriages were contracted mostly for political or
humanitarian reasons, these wives being either
widows of Muslims who had been killed in the
battles and had been left without a protector, or
belonging to important families or clans whom it
was necessary to honor and strengthen alliances.

At the end of the tenth year after the (1) to
Medina, Muhammad carried through his first truly
Islamic pilgrimage, thereby teaching his followers
the rites (ibadah) of the annual Great Pilgrimage
(Hajj).
After (2) the pilgrimage, Muhammad delivered
a famous (3) known as The Farewell Sermon. In
this sermon, Muhammad (4) his followers not to
follow certain pre-Islamic customs such as adding
intercalary months to align the lunar calendar with
the solar calendar. Muhammed asked his male
followers to Be (5) to women; for they are
powerless captives (awan) in (6) households.
IV. Muhammad did his own household chores and helped with housework, such as preparing
food, sewing clothes and repairing shoes. Muhammad is also said to have had
accustomed his wives to dialogue; he listened to their advice, and the wives debated and
even argued with him.[64][65][66]
V. Khadijah is said to have borne Muhammad four daughters (Ruqayyah bint Muhammad,
Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad, Zainab bint Muhammad, Fatimah Zahra) and two sons
(Abd-Allah ibn Muhammad and Qasim ibn Muhammad) who both died in childhood. All
except two of his daughters, Fatimah and Zainab, died before him.[67] Shi'a scholars
contend that Fatimah was Muhammad's only daughter.[68] Maria al-Qibtiyya bore him a
son named Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, but the child died when he was two years old.[67]
VI. Muhammad's descendants through Fatimah are known as sharifs, syeds or sayyids. These
are honorific titles in Arabic, sharif meaning 'noble' and sayed or sayyid meaning 'lord' or
'sir'. As Muhammad's only descendants, they are respected by both Sunni and Shi'a,
though the Shi'as place much more emphasis and value on their distinction.[69]
