268. Narrated Qatāda: Anas bin Mālik said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet ﷺ the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the Prophet ﷺ was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Sa'īd said on the authority of Qatāda that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).

268 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي السَّاعَةِ الوَاحِدَةِ، مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَهُنَّ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ» قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ أَوَكَانَ يُطِيقُهُ؟ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ «أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ قُوَّةَ ثَلاَثِينَ» وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، إِنَّ أَنَسًا، حَدَّثَهُمْ «تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ»
