Question

One of my friend has asked a question from me to help him to find out about the bayan of MAULANA TARIQ JAMEEL SAHIB, in which he mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH had 13 marriages, in which 2 of them were divorced right after the NIKKAH happened. He really likes his bayans. But his question is, that is there any proof of his 2 marriages that were turned into divorces. Even though he has never heard of these 2 divorces since his child hood. Can you please give us source of this. Can you put some light on this.

I have given the YOUTUBE LINK below, in the first 3 to 5 minutes MAULANA SAHIB has mentioined this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE0Jv4_2prM

ALLAH SWT knows the best, MAY ALLAH SWT KEEP US MOVING TOWARD KHER AND AWAY US FROM THE SHERR.
