Muhammad's Marriage to Aisha

And logically it's not possible that a prophet who gives us education that how to live ethically how he could do that such kind of thing about which a ordinary person even can ask that what is it. it's against the humanity. it's against ethics, while prophet Muhammad(SAW) was a great example of ethical person and human being. 

I will try to straighten the marriage history of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam with Aisha ra. which for centuries has been believed to be irrational. And one of the effects is that some people take advantage of this marriage data argument gap as an accusation against Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam by calling it fedophilia.

The quality of hadith related to Aisha's age at marriage was dho'if. Some of the narratives that describe Aisha's marriage to Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam which are scattered in the books of the Hadith are only sourced from the only one rowi namely Hisham bin ‘Urwah which he heard himself from his father. It is surprising why Hisham was the only one who ever voiced about the age of the marriage ‘Aisyah r.a. Why not by Abu Hurairah or Malik bin Anas. That was only expressed by Hisham when he had settled in Iraq at the age of 71 years.

According to most historians, including Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, Abdurrahman bin Abi Zannad, and Ibn Kathir, mention that the age difference between 'Aisha and her sister Asma' is 10 years. According to Ibn Kathir in the book al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah, Asma ’died in 73 H at the age of 100 years. According to al-Hafidh Abu Na'im, Asma was born 27 years before the move (Hijrah) of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. "Thus, when the Prophet moved to Yathrib, the age of Asma was 27 years (622 AD).

If Asma' was 27 years old when the Prophet migrated, then the age of 'Aisha when the Prophet migrated meant 17 years. Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam married ‘Aisha in the first year of hijrah. Thus, the age of ‘Aisha when she was married to Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam meant between 17 or 18 years, not 6 or 9 years.

Wallahu A’lam.
