Sahih Muslim 1422c (Book 16, Hadith 83) #10618
Marriage of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to 'A'isha (RA).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to 'A'isha (RA) when she was seven years old and how she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle 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.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهْىَ بِنْتُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ وَزُفَّتْ إِلَيْهِ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ وَلُعَبُهَا مَعَهَا وَمَاتَ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the marriage of Prophet Muhammad PBUH to 'A'isha RA when she was seven years old and how he took her as a bride when she was nine. At that time it wasn't uncommon for girls to get married at such a young age but this hadith shows us that even though it may have been socially accepted at the time, it still wasn't something that Allah SWT approved of or encouraged. It also teaches us that even though we may be in situations where we are not able to make decisions for ourselves due to our age or other factors, we should still strive for justice and fairness in all our dealings with others. We should also remember that Allah SWT knows best and will always guide us if we seek His guidance.
