Marriage of Aisha at a Young Age

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old and she moved into his house when she was nine.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ - عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ تَزَوَّجَنِي النَّبِيُّ وَأَنَا بِنْتُ سِتِّ سِنِينَ وَبَنَى بِي وَأَنَا بِنْتُ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the marriage of 'A'isha to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. At the time, it was common for girls to marry at a young age. In this case, 'A'isha was six years old when they were married and nine years old when she moved into his house. This hadith shows us that even though it may have been common practice in those days, it is important to remember that marriage should only take place between two consenting adults who are ready for such a commitment. It also teaches us that we should always respect our elders and follow their guidance as long as it does not go against Islamic teachings or laws.
