Hadith 6892

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ تَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا ابْنَةُ سِتِّ سِنِينَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ بِمَكَّةَ مُتَوَفَّى خَدِيجَةَ وَدَخَلَ بِي وَأَنَا ابْنَةُ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ
Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) married me, I was six years old; in another narration, seven years is mentioned. This marriage took place in Mecca at the time of the death of Sayyida Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her), and when I was sent to live with him, I was nine years old; this consummation took place in Madinah Munawwarah.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … At the time of marriage, the age of Sayyidah (Aisha) was six years and a few months; therefore, sometimes this fraction is rounded up and it is said to be seven years, and sometimes it is left as six years. In 2 AH, Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha’s marriage was consummated.

One year before the Hijrah, Sayyidah Khadijah radi Allahu anha passed away.

The summary of this chapter is that whether a woman is a virgin, divorced, or widowed, the consent of her guardian (wali) is necessary for the validity of her marriage, as has already been clarified in the previous chapter. However, a widow and a divorced woman certainly have the right to express their opinion, and the guardian should take their opinion into consideration.
