It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married me in the month of Shawwal and I was sent to his house in the same month of Shawwal. So which of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was more esteemed in his eyes than me? Thus, Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) used to prefer marrying the women of her family in the month of Shawwal.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, she was nine years old, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Sayyida (may Allah be pleased with her) was eighteen years old.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married her after the death of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), two or three years before the migration to Madinah, while her age was seven years. When we came to Madinah, some women came to me while I was swinging on a swing and my hair was down to my shoulders. Those women took me, prepared and adorned me, and then brought me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and my marriage was consummated. At that time, my age was nine years.
