After the demise of Hazrat Khadija , whom did the Holy Prophet marry next?

A. Hazrat Aisha (RA)
B. Hazrat Sawda bint Zam'a (RA)
C. Hazrat Hafsa (RA)
D. Hazrat Zainab bint Khuzayma (RA)
Correct Answer: B. Hazrat Sawda bint Zam'a (RA)

Following the passing of Hazrat Khadija (RA), who was the first wife of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, a period of deep sorrow ensued during the Year of Grief (Aam-ul-Huzn).

  • The next marriage solemnized by the Holy Prophet ﷺ was with Hazrat Sawda bint Zam\'a (RA), a mature widow who had migrated early to Abyssinia and required social protection and honor.
  • While Hazrat Aisha (RA) was betrothed around a similar timeframe, her formal marriage housewarming occurred later in Madinah, making Hazrat Sawda (RA) his immediate next active spouse.
