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.
