'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his
house when I was nine years old.
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated
his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him
for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married 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)."
what you know of the Quran (by heart)'
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years
old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she
remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
Some Muslims claim that it was Abu Bakr who
approached Muhammad asking him to marry his daughter. This is of course not
true and here is the proof.
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said
"But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother
in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to
marry."
Arabs were a primitive lot with little rules to
abide. Yet they had some code of ethics that they honored scrupulously. For
example, although they fought all the year round, they abstained from hostilities
during certain holy months of the year. They also considered Mecca to be a holy
city and did not make war against it. A adopted son’s wife was deemed to be a
daughter in law and they would not marry her. Also it was customary that close
friends made a pact of brotherhood and considered each other as true brothers.
The Prophet disregarded all of these rules anytime they stood between him and
his interests or whims.
Abu Bakr and Muhammad had pledged to each other to be
brothers. So according to their costoms Ayesha was supposed to be like a niece
to the Holy Prophet. Yet that did not stop him to ask her hand even when she
was only six years old.
But this moral relativist
Prophet would use the same excuse to reject a woman he did not like.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?"
He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's daughter). "
Hamza and Abu Bakr both were the foster brothers of
Muhammad. But Ayesha must have been too pretty for the Prophet to abide by the
codes of ethics and custom.
In the following Hadith he confided to Ahesha
that he had dreamed of her before soliciting her from her father.
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream)
before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth,
and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself),
'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.
Whether Muhammad had actually such dream
or he just said it to please Ayesha is not the point. What matters here is that
it indicates that Ayesaha was a baby being “carried” by an angel when the
Prophet dreamed of her.
There are numerous hadithes that
explicitly reveal the age of Ayesha at the time of her marriage. Here are some
of them.
Narrated Hisham's father:
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there
for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years
of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.
Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and
stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair
fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me
while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and
I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the
hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and
when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and
head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some
Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good
luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the
marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my
mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of
age.
And in another Hadith we read.
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) married me when I was seven or six.
When we came to Medina, some women came. according to Bishr's version: Umm
Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and
decorated me. I was then brought to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him),
and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine. She halted me at the door,
and I burst into laughter.
In the above hadith we read that Ayesha was swinging,
This is a play of little girls not grown up people. The following Hadith is
particularly interesting because it shows that Ayesha was so small that was not
aware what was going on when the Holy Prophet “surprised” her by going to her.
Narrated Aisha:
When the Prophet married me, my mother came to me and made me enter the house
(of the Prophet) and nothing surprised me but the coming of Allah's Apostle to
me in the forenoon.
Must have been quite a surprise! But the following is also interesting because
it demonstrates that she was just a kid playing with her dolls. Pay attention
to what the interpreter wrote in the parenthesis. (She was a little girl, not
yet reached the age of puberty)
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl
friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my
dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them
to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is
forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little
girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house
as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the
Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.
The holy Prophet
died when he was 63. So he must have married Ayesha when he as 51 and went to
her when he was 54.
Narrated 'Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died
three years before the Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him
mentioning her too often, and because his Lord had ordered him to give her the
glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of Qasab and
because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends.
Khadija died in December of 619 AD. That is two years before Hijra. At that
time the Prophet was 51-years-old. So in the same year that Khadija died the
prophet married Ayesha and took her to his home 3 years later, i.e. one year
after Hijra. But until she grow up he married Umm Salama.
In another part Ayesha claims that as long as she
remembers her parents were always Muslims.
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I never remembered my parents believing in any
religion other than the true religion (i.e. Islam),
If Ayesha was older i.e. 16 or 18 as some Muslims
claim, she would have remembered the religion of her parents prior to becoming
Muslims.
Now someone may still claim that all these hadithes are lies. People are free
to say whatever they want. But truth is clear like the Sun for those who have
eyes.
No sane person would be aroused by a 9-year-old
child. Decent people wince at the thought of this shameful act. Yet some
Muslims deny them. The question is why so many followers of Muhammad would
fabricate so many false hadithes about the age of Ayisha, which incidentally
confirm each other?
I can tell you why people would attribute false miracles to their prophet.
Babis believe that Bab started to praise God as soon as he was born. There is a
Hadith like that also about Muhammad. Christians believe the birth of the
Christ was miraculous and the Jews believe Moses opened a dry passageway
through the Red Sea. Believers love to hear these stories. It confirms their
faith. There are many absurd miracles attributed to Muhammad in the hadiths,
despite the fact that he denied being able to perform any miracles. But why should anyone fabricate a lie
about the age of Ayisha that would portray his Prophet as a pedophile?
When we say Muhammad had sex with 9 year old child, Muslims brush it away
and bring all sorts of excuses to justify this shameful act. This is the nature
of blind faith and cognitive dissonance. Maybe by visualizing it, some of them
will would come to their senses and realize how evil this fiend they call
prophet, was. There is not a single proof that this man was a prophet while
there are tons of evidences that he was an evil man.
For conclusive evidence that Muhammad was a pedophile, please see this.
