EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad to 'Aisha. According to this hadith, they were married when she was six years old and consummated their marriage when she was nine. This is an important event in Islamic history as it shows that even though it may have been socially acceptable at that time for girls to marry at a young age, it still needed permission from both parties involved in order for it to be valid. It also shows us that even though there are certain cultural norms in place, we should always strive to do what is right according to our faith and not just follow what society dictates. We should also remember that although this event happened many centuries ago, its teachings are still relevant today as we can learn from them how we should conduct ourselves in our own marriages.
