Biography of the Prophet salla Allahu alahi wa sallam

Sheikh I want to ask you about a story that I keep finding on the net and in some books and even in the classes that I went here in Kuwait I heard about it. There is this incident about Maria the Christian slave from Egypt that was a gift for our Prophet and the one of the wives of the Prophet Mohammed (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam). They say that Hafsa caught the Prophet with Maria in her room being close to her. And she became very upset of the fact that he (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was nice to Maria in her room. And that he didn’t respect her privacy and her house. So he promised that he will not touch Maria again with the condition that she will not tell to anyone about this. But she went and told Aisha, meanwhile the Prophet had a revelation through which he was informed that Hafsa went and told his secret and she was surprised how come he found out. And he told her that Allah had informed him about her going and telling his secret. Is this authentic or not?

I would like to know if a person is allowed to have a mental image of the prophet (May Allah’s peace and blessings be on him) when remembering him? This is easy to imagine through reading about the physical appearance of the prophet saw e.g. beard, beautiful smile, average height etc? Is it permissible to have this image?

I am a new revert to islam and my relatives are against this. When I try to teach them about islam they say about the marriage of prophet muhammad(saw) , that he married 11 wives. I just want to know that why he married those 11 wives while in the quran Allah commands the believers to marry till 4 wives. If the quran says to marry till 4 wives then why did prophet muhammad(saw) married 11 wives?

The Quran allowed the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam to marry more than 4. Not only that, he married women over 50 and they were all either divorced or widowed. His marriages were not of a man who was a womanizer. Besides, all Prophets and Messengers had many wives such as David and Suleman […]

When the person had completed his salah, Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Zubair (radhiallahu anhu) went up to him and said: “Verily, Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to only raise his hands and make dua after completing his salah”(Majmauz Zawaaid, vol. 1, pg. 169). Is the above mentioned narration authentic? If yes, then doesn’t it justify the practice of raising hands after salaah to make duaa?
