Narrated `Abdullah Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

The first Surah in which a prostration was mentioned, was Sura An-Najm (The Star). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prostrated (while reciting it), and everybody behind him prostrated except a man whom I saw taking a hand-full of dust in his hand and prostrated on it. Later I saw that man killed as an infidel, and he was Umaiya bin Khalaf.

SIDE BENEFIT:

As Muslims, we believe that a man is allowed to marry upto 4 wives at any given time. Rejecting this is tantamount to Kufr, as you would be rejecting an Āyah from the Qur'an; An-Nisā - 3.

But the question I'd like to ask is, if a man marries over his previous wife, does that mean he no longer loves her? Because this is one of the arguments raised by some anti-polygynists.

If we look at the Prophet ﷺ, Ā’ishah (the Prophet's 3rd wife) was the most beloved wife to him. But despite that, he married not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, but EIGHT women over her.

One beloved brother (may Allāh preserve him) sent me these short lines of poetry listing the wives of the Prophet ﷺ in the order they were married.

Surah Al-Hajj is a great surah which Allah has given many virtues, from them;

It is the only Surah in the Qur'an that is named after a pillar in Islam, i.e. Hajj.

It is the only Surah that has 2 Sajdahs (prostrations), in verses 18 and 77.

The Sujood (prostration) is the pinnacle of worship and seeking closeness to Allaah.

The Name الأحد comes once in the Quraan in Surah Al-Ikhlaas

Surah Al-Ikhlaas is a Surah which has exclusively been singled out to explain and clarify the description of Allah. So if one was to ask you, Who is Allah? It is sufficient to read this Surah as an answer.

Imam Ahmad recorded from Ubayy bin Ka`b that the idolators said to the Prophet , “O Muhammad! Tell us the lineage of your Lord.” So Allah revealed Surah Al-Ikhlaas.

From the virtues of this Surah:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
A man heard another man reciting 'Say He is Allah, (the) One.' repeatedly. The next morning he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him about it as if he thought that it was not enough to recite. On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur'an!"

In another hadith: the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur’an in one night?” This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, “Who among us has the power to do so, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” Allah Apostle replied: ” Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.’ (Surat Al-Ikhlas) is equal to one third of the Qur’an.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari 5015)

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) appointed a man in charge of an army unit who led them in Salat (prayer); he always concluded his recitation with Surat Al-Ikhlas: "Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ)): 'He is Allah, (the) One. Allah-us-Samad (Allah - the Self-Sufficient). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none equal or comparable to Him."' (112:1-4) Upon their return to Al-Madinah, they mentioned this to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said, "Ask him why he does so?" He was asked and he said, "This Surah contains the Attributes of Allah, the Gracious, and I love to recite it. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then told them, "Tell him that Allah loves him". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Buraidah that his father said: "The Prophet ﷺ heard a man say: 'Allahumma! Inni as'aluka bi-annaka Antallahul-Ahadus-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwlud, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad (O Allah! I ask You by virtue of Your being Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable to Him).' The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: 'He has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, which if He is asked thereby He gives, and if He is called upon thereby He answers.'"
(Sunan ibn Majah)

He is Zayd ibn Harithah, one of the most beloved companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the only companion to have been mentioned in the Quran by his name (Surah A-Ahzab 33:37).

The Prophet ﷺ married him to his cousin Zainab bint Jash. This marriage however did not last. And even after repeated attempts of reconciliation, it ended up in divorce. After their divorce, the Prophet ﷺ was instructed by Allah to marry Zainab.

Uthman Bin Affan was a man so loved by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that he was called the possessor of two lights. Uthman was married to Prophet Muhammad’s daughter Ruqiayah and when she died, he married Prophet Muhammad’s other daughter, Umm Kulthum, thus possessing the two lights.
