'Aisha added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet could."  Sahih Muslim   Book 006, Number 2439:  'A'isha  (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be  upon him) used to kiss (his wives) while fasting and embraced (them)  while fasting; but he had the greatest mastery over his desire among you. Secondly, a  man who didn't have control over his desire (a man who was a lecher),  would love to touch women wouldn't he? However, this wasn't the case  with the Holy Prophet (S): Sahih Muslim  Book 20, Number 4602:  It has  been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha, the wife of the Holy Prophet  (may peace be upon him). She said: When the believing women migrated  (to Medina) and came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him),  they would be tested in accordance with the following words of Allah.  the Almighty and Exalted: "O Prophet, when believing women come to thee  to take the oath of fealty to thee that they will not associate in  worship anything with God, that they will not steal. that, they will not  commit adultery. . ." to the end of the verse (lx. 62).Whoso from  the believing women accepted these conditions and agreed to abide by  them were considered to have offered themselves for swearing fealty.  When they had (formally) declared their resolve to do so, the Messenger  of Allah (may peace he upon him) would say to them: You may go. I have  confirmed your fealty. By God, the hand of the Messenger of Allah  (may peace be upon him) never touched the hand of a woman. He would take  the oath of fealty from them by oral declaration. By God, the Messenger  of Allah (may peace be upon him) never took any vow from women except  that which God had ordered him to take, and his palm never touched the  palm of a woman. When he had taken their vow, he would tell them that he  had taken the oath from them orally.  However, Ali  Sina can argue now and say ?Well, what about Zaynab Bint Jahsh?".  According to an unauthentic report, the Holy Prophet (S) saw Zaynab Bint  Jahsh changing her clothes, and he began to like her from there.  Refuting this baseless story, Abdul Hameed Siddiqui says: "  So far as the fanciful stories and calumnies of the Orientalists are  concerned, we can only say that these are so absurd that any one having  even a grain of sense in him would unhesitatingly reject them as mere  fabrications. William Muir and so may others like him state that the  Prophet, having seen Zaynab by change through a half-open door, was  fascinated by her beauty, and that Zayd having come to know of the  leanings of his master, divorced her and then she was marred ti  Muhammad. There is absolutely no truth in these stories which have been fabricated in this connection." (Source: The Life of Muhammad, by Abdul Hameed Siddique, Islamic Publications LTD, p. 214, bold and underlined emphasis ours) Sheikh Hammudah Abdallati says: 6. Some of the Prophet's marriages were for legislative reasons and to abolish certain corrupt traditions.  Such was his marriage to Zaynab, divorcee of the freed slave Zayd.  Before Islam, the Arabs did not allow divorcees to remarry. Zayd was  adopted by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and called his  son as was the custom among the Arabs before Islam. But Islam abrogated  this custom and disapproved of its practice. Prophet Muhammad (peace and  blessings be upon him) was the first man to express this disapproval in  a practical way. So he married the  divorcee of his "adopted" son to show that adoption does not really make  the adopted child a real son of the adopting father and also to show  that marriage is lawful for divorcees. Incidentally, this very Zaynab  was Muhammad's cousin, and had been offered to him in marriage before  she married Zayd. He refused her then, but after she was divorced he  accepted her for the two legislative purposes: the lawful marriage of  divorcees and the real status of adopted children. The story of  this Zaynab has been associated in some minds with ridiculous  fabrications regarding the moral integrity of Muhammad. These vicious  fabrications are not even worth considering here (see Qur'an, 33: 36, 37, 40).  (Source: Islam in Focus, p.177-179 by Hammudah Abdallati, bold and underlined emphasis ours) Shabir Ally also <a href="http://www.islaminfo.com/new/detail.asp?ID=28" target="_blank">writes</a>:  Q. Is it true that the prophet (pbuh) had fallen in love with Zainab due to her beauty?  A.  If that were true it would not detract from the veracity of the  prophet. Muslims admit that he was a human being. It is not unnatural  for a man to fall in love. The fact that he is a prophet does not rob  him of his natural human emotions. In fact it is true that he loved his  wives.  However,  it is not true that he fell in love with Zainab in the way that is  claimed by some critics. They say that once the prophet visited Zaid,  the husband of Zainab. Zaid was out at the time, and Zainab was combing  her hair. The prophet was struck by her beauty and immediately left  saying something to the effect that God changes the hearts of people.  When Zaid learnt about this incident he offered the prophet that he  would divorce Zainab in order that the prophet may marry her.  Accordingly, he divorced her and the prophet married her.  Several  things point to the lack of truth in this story. First, it is unlikely  that the prophet (pbuh) was suddenly struck by Zainab's beauty. Zainab  was his cousin. He had known her since childhood. Why would she suddenly  appear striking after she was already married to another?  Second,  the prophet had arranged for her to get married to Zaid. If there was  to be an attraction why did the prophet (pbuh) not encourage her to  marry none but himself?  Third,  the fact of the matter was that Zaid's marriage proved to be an unhappy  one. Zaid was a former slave and as such was held in low esteem in the  eyes of Zainab. He mentioned to the prophet that he intended to divorce  his wife. But the prophet advised him to keep his wife and avoid  divorce.  In  the meantime, Zaid intended to divorce his wife, Allah intended to  marry her to the prophet. Eventually Zaid could maintain his marriage no  longer. He divorced Zainab and Allah declared in his Glorious Book that  he has wedded her to the prophet after the proper waiting period was  over.  This  marriage served more than one purpose. First, the prophet was  responsible for arranging Zainab's marriage to Zaid. In a sense, then,  he was also indirectly responsible for the unhappiness she felt in her  marriage. Her marriage to the prophet now provided her the honour she  felt she deserved, and exonerated the prophet.  Second,  Zaid had been adopted as the prophet's son. Eventually, however, the  Qur'an prohibited the practice of changing the parental identity of  adopted persons. Zaid, then, was to no longer be called "son of  Muhammad" but rather "a close friend." The prophet's marriage to the  divorced wife of Zaid was a practical demonstration that the adopted  relationship was not equal to a real blood-relationship. A man cannot  marry the divorced wife of his real son but he can marry the divorced  wife of his adopted son.  The  abolishment of the age-old practice was a positive improvement for the  adopted persons. People outside of Islam still continue this practice  for their own benefit. They adopt children and rob them of their real  identify, making them believe they are real children of the household in  which they grow up. When such children realize the truth they suffer  much disappointment and grief. The adoptive process continues for the  selfish gain of the adoptive parents.  But  is it not true that children sometimes need adoptive parents? Yes. But  they also need to preserve their real identify. This is what Islam  ensures. It is the responsibility of the entire community to help  children in need. They should be taken in and nurtured but not confused  with one's own children.  The  prophet's marriage to Zainab was a bold measure to forever engrave in  the minds of his followers that as much as people would resist change,  some changes are worth the effort. Adoptive children should no longer be  robbed of their real identities. The Scholars of IslamToday.Com <a href="http://www.islamtoday.net/english/show_detail_section.cfm?q_id=19&main_cat_id=2" target="_blank">write</a>:  Question:  Al-Salâm `Alaykum. Some non-Muslims informed me of the story of Zaynab  bint Jahsh and the verses of the Qur'ân which were revealed in this  context. They said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw her once  unveiled or something and it affected his heart and he said "Glory be to  the one who moves our hearts!" Not long after the verses were revealed  he was "convieniently" instructed by the Qur'ân to marry Zaynab, who had  previously been the wife of his adopted son. Please explain this matter  to me in detail. Answered by the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî As  we shall see, the story of Zaynab is actually a good piece of evidence  for the genuineness of the Prophet (peace be upon him), not for his  insincerity like Orientalists and some Christian missionaries like to  claim.Zaynab bint Jahsh married the Prophet Muhammad (peace be  upon him) in 5 AH, when she was thirty-five years old, but only after  her previous marriage, which had been arranged by none other than the  Prophet (peace be upon him), had ended in divorce. Zaynab bint Jahsh was  the cousin of the Prophet (peace be upon him). She came from one of the  noblest families of Quraysh and was expected to marry a man with the  same high social status.The Prophet (peace be upon him) knew  that piety and not social status was the primary consideration in  marriage. He wanted her to marry Zayd ibn Hârith, a former slave of  Khadîjah who the Prophet (peace be upon him) had freed and adopted as a  son at the age of eight.Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had  watched both Zayd and Zaynab grow up, and thought they would make a  good couple and that their marriage would demonstrate that it was not  who their ancestors were, but rather their religiousness that mattered.  When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked for  her hand on behalf of Zayd, Zaynab's family were shocked at the idea of  her marrying a freed slave. Moreover, Zaynab had wanted to marry the  Prophet (peace be upon him) and in fact her family had already offered  to marry her to him. </blockquote>
