After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) completed the construction of Musjid-un-Nabawi, he laid foundations for the rooms of his pure wives. Initially, he built two rooms; one for Hazrat Sawdah bint Zam’ah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), and the other for Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha). The additional rooms were built later on as the need arose.

Adjacent to the musjid were the houses of Hazrat Haarithah bin Nu’maan Ansaari (radhiyallahu ‘anhu). Whenever the need arose, Hazrat Haarithah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) would offer a house to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). In this manner, he offered and gave all his houses, one after the other, to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).
