From Bukhari vol. 7, #65:
"Narrated Aisha that the prophet wrote the marriage
contract with her when she was six years old and
he consummated
his marriage when she was nine years old.
Hisham said: "I have been informed that Aisha
remained with the prophet for nine years (i.e. till his
death)."" |
From the Hadith of Sahih
Muslim, Vol 2, #3309
Aisha reported:
Allah’s Messenger married me when I was six years
old,
and I was
admitted to his house at the age of nine…. |
From Abu Dawud, Vol. 2,
#2116:
"Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah
married me when I was seven years old." (The
narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years.").
"He had
intercourse with me when I was 9 years old." |
From Tabari, volume 9, page
131
"Then the men and women got up and left.
The
Messenger of God
consummated his marriage with me in my house when I
was nine years old.
Neither a camel nor a sheep
was slaughtered on behalf of me". |

June 27, 2008 Age, or lack thereof, is
no hindrance to marriage under Islam, according to Ahmad
Al-Mu'bi, an officiant for marriages from Saudi Arabia who says
sex at 9 is fine.
He confirmed, "The Prophet Muhammad is the model we
follow. He took 'Aisha to be his wife when she was 6, but he had
sex with her only when she was 9."

Muhammad’s was sexually involved with at least 22 women.
Although in the Quran he would limit his followers to having
four wives, he himself took more than four wives and many
concubines. The question of the number of women with whom
Muhammad was sexually involved either as wives, concubines or
devotees was made a point of contention by the Jews in
Muhammad's day. The Jews also avoided Muhammad, because he
claimed to be a Prophet, yet twice in the Qur'an he admitted he
could do no miracles to show any connection with the divine.
The Jews knew that all their prophets did miracles.
Ali Dashti comments:
"All the commentaries agree that verse 57 of Surah 4
(on-Nesa) was sent down after the Jews criticized Mohammad's
appetite for women, alleging that he had nothing to do
except to take wives" (Ali Dashti, 23 Years, pp. 120-138).

People used to ask
Muhammad's favorite child bride
Aisha how the Prophet lived at home.
"Like an ordinary man,"
she answered. "He would
sweep the house, stitch his own clothes, mend his
own sandals; water the camels, milk the goats, help
the servants at their work, and eat his meals with
them; and he would go to fetch a thing we needed
from the market." |
Aisha
(only 6 when married) believed whatever Muhammad
told her about his divine inspiration.
Muhammad claimed that he used to get revelations
from Allah only when he slept with Aisha. Why is it
that Gabriel did not bother to visit him when
Muhammad spent nights with other wives in his harem? |
Reference:
ahadith
from Sahih Bukhari: "Muhammad used to get
divine inspiration only in Aisha's bed"...3.47.755 |
Aisha did not see
Gabriel while Muhammad introduced Gabriel to
her…4.54.440
Volume 4, Book 54, Number
440:
Narrated Abu Salama:
'Aisha said that the Prophet said to her "O
'Aisha' This is Gabriel and he sends his
(greetings) salutations to you." 'Aisha said,
"Salutations (Greetings) to him, and Allah's
Mercy and Blessings be on him," and addressing
the Prophet she said, "You see what I don't
see."

It is
obvious that Muhammad tended to be
forgetful. This is shown in the
above illustrations.
In the Sahih of the Bukhari, (part 3,
page 223, and part 8, page
91). The Bukhari repeats what Muhammad's
child wife Aisha said,
"Aisha said, The
prophet heard a man reciting in the mosque. He said, ‘May
God have mercy on him, he has reminded me of such and such
verses which I dropped from Surah so and so."’
