Sunan Ibn Majah 2347 (Book 13, Hadith 40) #31699
Casting Lots Among Wives

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ would cast lots among his wives to decide which one would accompany him when he traveled.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that : when the Prophet traveled, he would cast lots among his wives (to decide which one would accompany him).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was known for his fairness and justice in all matters. This hadith shows us that even when it came to deciding which of his wives would accompany him on a journey, he chose to use a lottery system instead of favoring one over the other. This teaches us that we should always strive for fairness and justice in our dealings with others, no matter how small or insignificant the matter may seem. We should also remember that Allah is watching us at all times and will reward us for our good deeds.

The Prophet's practice of casting lots among his wives also serves as an example of how we can make decisions in difficult situations without having to rely solely on our own judgement or preferences. By using a lottery system, the decision-making process becomes more objective and fair since it eliminates any potential bias or favoritism towards any particular person or group.
