I have heard many Muslims say that prophet Muhammed has never had any concubines (sex slaves). On the other hand, most of the Islamic books that tell the biography of prophet Muhammed tell that he had at least 4 concubines (in addition to his 9 wives).
There is even a verse in teh Quran [1:66] that blames prophet Muhammed for not having sex with his concubines. The story behind that verse (as told by Ibn katheer, Al Kordoby, Al Tabari, Al Galalyn... etc.) is that prophet Muhammed was having sex with his concubine "Maria" in his wife's house when his wife caught them. To avoid a scandal, prophet Muhammed asked his wife to keep the secret and in return he would not touch his concubine again, but god did not agree with that and revealed that verse for prophet Muhammed to blame him for not enjoying sex with his concubines.
Is it true that prophet Muhamemd had concubines?
