Living safr distance from one's parents
Question
Did the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) or any khalif choose any wife from beyond the territorial distance of a musafir?
If so, is it the practice of our Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wasallam) or any khalif , to accompany his wife on holidays to visit his inlaws?
Also did any khalif live beyond the Musafir range away from his parents?

Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the general Sahaba with their families (with the exception of those family members who remained on kufr) made hijrat to Madinah Tayyibah. Hence, the nikaahs took place in Madinah Tayyibah and their was no need to travel abroad to visit in-laws etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
