حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ حُمَيْضَةَ بْنِ الشَّمَرْدَلِ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ، ابْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ: وَقَالَ وَهْبٌ، الْأَسَدِيِّ: قَالَ: أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي ثَمَانُ نِسْوَةٍ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وحَدَّثَنَا بِهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ: قَيْسُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ مَكَانَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ. قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: هَذَا هُوَ الصَّوَابُ يَعْنِي قَيْسَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ.

Regarding A Man Who Was Married To More Than Four Women, Or To Two Sisters, And Then He Accepts Islam
I embraced Islam while I had eight wives. So I mentioned it to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Prophet (said) said: Select four of them. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated to us by Ahmad bin Ibrahim from Hushaim. He said: Qais bin al-Harith instead of al-Harith bin Qais. Ahmad bin Ibrahim said: This is correct, i.e. Qais bin al-Harith.
