Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When I was married to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I was six years old. Then we migrated to Medina and stayed with Banu Harith bin Khazraj. There, I got a fever, and because of it, my hair started falling out. Then my hair grew thick up to my shoulders. One day, (my mother) Umm Ruman came while I was playing on a swing with some of my friends. She called me, so I came to her, and I did not know what she intended to do with me. She took my hand and made me stand at the door of the house, and I was out of breath. After a little while, when I calmed down, she took a little water and wiped it over my face and head. Then she took me inside the house, where some women of the Ansar were present. When they saw me, they prayed for me, saying, "May Allah bless you and grant you good fortune." My mother handed me over to them, and they adorned me. After that, in the daytime, suddenly the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and those women handed me over to him, and at that time I was nine years old.
