If you look in the Bible then you see that it was Sarah and after Sarah died he married a woman named Keturah with whom he also had children. Also Abraham had concubines (lovers) in addition to his second wife Keturah is what the Bible says. Also remember, Abraham also fathered Ishmael with his maid Hagar because Sarah told him to do this when she could not get pregnant (she did get pregnant later at old age and she laughed at God because she could not believe to be pregnant at such old age). Isaac was Sarah and Abraham's son. God did not tell Abraham to have all these women, etc. That was his own choice. If you study history then you'll know that all the affairs Abraham had caused much misery in the world for the descendents he fathered. There is a Christian song that goes "Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham." What it don't say is that he had these sons with several women.

Sarah was Abraham's first wife. With Sarah's permission, he married Hagar. After Sarah's death, he married Keturah. Hagar is widely believed and accepted as Abraham's concubine, a woman of lower social class/status. However, no Biblical verse confirms this.
According to Islamic tradition, with Sarah's permission, Abraham established a separate, independent household with Hagar. Hagar and Ishmael left Sarah long before Isaac was born. Ishmael did not mock Isaac and Sarah and Sarah did not tell Abraham to banish them.

His wife's name was Sarah. She and Abraham did not think they could bare children together (even though God told him one day they would), so Sarah told Abraham to have a baby with her maid Hagar. He did. But he did not marry her too.

He had 2 wives--Sarah was the first & after her death he married a woman named Keturah. Hagar was never Abraham's wife..She was Sarah's maid, a concubine did not have the same status as a wife.
