The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم married Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا first, and he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not marry another woman for as long as she رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا was alive.

Umm-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا states: The revelation upon the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم started with righteous dreams; whatever he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would see in his dreams would come to pass just like the light of dawn, and then he
صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would prefer to remain in solitude.
