Prophet Slept with all 11 wives in one night

Sahih Bukhari 268
Narrated Qatada:

Anas bin Malik said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number.” I asked Anas, “Had the Prophet (ﷺ) the strength for it?” Anas replied, “We used to say that the Prophet (ﷺ) was given the strength of thirty (men).” And Sa`id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).

This hadith contradicted with the character of the real Prophet in the Quran who is a normal man.

S41:6 Say thou: “I am but a man like you: It is revealed to me by Inspiration, that your Allah is one Allah: so stand true to Him, and ask for His Forgiveness.” And woe to those who join gods with Allah.

There is restrictions during women’s mensuration period in the Quran prohibiting having sexual relationships with them.

S2:222 And they ask you about menstruation. Say, “It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”

It can be seen that the prophet cannot have sexual relationships with all his eleven wives on the same day and night as surely some of them must have their  menstruations or some of them were sick.

Furthermore, the verse below confirmed that the Prophet never had sex with all his wives at one go as he is allowed to refrain from pleasing all his wives at one go.

S33:51 You, [O Muhammad], may put aside whom you will of them or take to yourself whom you will. And any that you desire of those wives from whom you had [temporarily] separated there is no blame upon you in returning her. That is more suitable that they should be content and not grieve and that they should be satisfied with what you have given them, all of them. And Allah knows what is in your hearts. And ever is Allah Knowing and Forbearing.

The verses above proved that the hadith is a falsehood with intention to slander the personality of the true Prophet who is an example for mankind to follow –

S33:21 Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of conduct for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.

The character of the real Prophet in the Quran who is a normal man and a messager –

S18:110 Say, “I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.”

S25:20 And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all men who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees all things.

S13:38 And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree.
