The hadith is about the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to 'Aisha. It is narrated by Urwa that the Prophet ﷺ wrote a contract with 'Aisha when she was six years old and consummated it when she was nine years old. They remained together until his death which shows their strong bond as husband and wife.
