Altara,
Moses and Noah had their wives. There are no specific verses in the Quran saying they had a right to more wives than the rest of MANkind, addressing them as if they were alive. You must see the difference how these prophets are dealt with and how Mohammed is dealt with.
mundi .. as I said before Quran is book of dialogue with stories of OT & NT Prophets and on the way by the time it became the present book people inserted some verses/material added in to it during various story telling times ., That time story telling time span could be any where between the years 600 to 700..
Now If I completely throw that garbage hadith out in trash and dealing only with Quran verse/s that says on prophets * their wives or believer and their wives .. or prophet having more than 4 wives., or Muslims getting restricted to only 4 wives + as many right hand possess as possible in a war like situation with infidels and idolaters are questionable and debatable verses w,r,t why it(quran) is saying what it is saying
well first let me put here all those sexy......sex........wife/wives verses..........so folks can think about them
(1) It is made lawful to you to go into your wives on the night of the fast they are an apparel for you and you are an apparel for them; Allah knew that you acted unfaithfully to yourselves, so He has turned to you (mercifully) and removed from you (this burden); so now be in contact with them and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the whiteness of the day becomes distinct from the blackness of the night at dawn, then complete the fast till night, and have not contact with them while you keep to the mosques; these are the limits of Allah, so do not go near them. Thus does Allah make clear His communications for men that they may guard (against evil). (Chapter #2, Verse #187)
(2) Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.(Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #223)

(5) And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for]a year without turning (them) out, then if they themselves go away . there is no blame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise. ( Chapter #2, Verse #240)
(6) And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child, but if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after (payment of) any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt; and they shall have the fourth of what you leave if you have no child, but if you have a child then they shall have the eighth of what you leave after (payment of) a bequest you may have bequeathed or a debt; and if a man or a woman leaves property to be inherited by neither parents nor offspring, and he (or she) has a brother or a sister, then each of them two shall have the sixth, but if they are more than that, they shall be sharers in the third after (payment of) any bequest that may have been bequeathed or a debt that does not harm (others); this is an ordinance from Allah: and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing. ( Chapter #4, Verse #12)

(8 ) And you have it not in your power to do justice between wives, even though you may wish (it)[ , but be not disinclined (from one) with total disinclination, so that you leave her as it were in suspense; and if you effect a reconciliation and guard (against evil), then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful......(Chapter #4, Verse #129)
(9) And they say: What is in the wombs of these cattle is specially for our males, and forbidden to our wives, and if it be stillborn, then they are all partners in it; He will reward them for their attributing (falsehood to Allah); surely He is Wise, Knowing. (Chapter #6, Verse #139)
(10) And certainly We sent apostles before you and gave them wives and children, and it is not in an apostle to bring a sign except by Allah's permission; for every term there is an appointment. (Chapter #13, Verse #38)
(11) And Allah has made wives for you from among yourselves, and has given you sons and grandchildren from your wives, and has given you of the good things; is it then in the falsehood that they believe while it is in the favor of Allah that they disbelieve? ( Chapter #16, Verse #72)

( Chapter #33, Verse #4)
(16) The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers; and the possessors of relationship have the better claim in the ordinance of Allah to inheritance, one with respect to another, than (other) believers, and (than) those who have fled (their homes), except that you do some good to your friends; this is written in the Book. ( Chapter #33, Verse #6)

(20) And when you said to him to whom Allah had shown favor and to whom you had shown a favor: Keep your wife to yourself and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and you concealed in your soul what Allah would bring to light, and you feared men, and Allah had a greater right that you should fear Him. But when Zaid had accomplished his want of her, We gave her to you as a wife[/b][/font], so that there should be no difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them; and Allah's command shall be performed. [/i](Chapter #33, Verse #37)
(21) O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her-- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers;[/s][/size] We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. [/s][/i](Chapter #33, Verse #50)

(23) O you who believe! do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished--but when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken the food, then disperse-- not seeking to listen to talk; surely this gives the Prophet trouble, but he forbears from you, and Allah does not forbear from the truth And when you ask of them any goods, ask of them from behind a curtain; this is purer for your hearts and (for) their hearts; and it does not behove you that you should give trouble to the Apostle of Allah, nor that you should marry his wives after him ever[/size]; surely this is grievous in the sight of Allah. [/i]( Chapter #33, Verse #53)
(24) O Prophet! say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known, and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.(Chapter #33, Verse #59)

(Chapter #58, Verse #2)

So dear mundi please read those quran verses.. and tell me which verse is a problem to you W.r.t. prophets from OT & NT w.r.t Prophet of Islam., I will explain you .. Please note that All prophets of OT& NT are also prophets of Islam...
going to back to your simple question
.........
Moses and Noah had their wives. There are no specific verses in the Quran saying they had a right to more wives than the rest of MANkind, addressing them as if they were alive. You must see the difference how these prophets are dealt with and how Mohammed is dealt with.
well may be the verse/s you selected may not be talking about Moses and Noah., may be they are speaking about the story from solomon., Quran writers or early Islam preachers might have been talking/preaching Solomon story who apparently had 700 wives and 300 concubines layered/laced with situation they were in during early Islamic expansion..
who knows what is going on there??.... allah knows best ...we need fucking mullah here..
anyways please pick up the verse you are talking .. we will discuss its story and why Quran writers put that verse at a given place in a given chapter .. and I DELETED GARBAGE THAT IS THERE IN CHAPTER 66 of Quran.. I tell you whole chapter 66 is garbage and without doubt it was added in to Quran by ROGUES OF ISLAM way after the death of the first preacher of Islam Muhammad. peace be upon him....
with best wishes
