Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) married me, I was six years old; in another narration, seven years is mentioned. This marriage took place in Mecca at the time of the death of Sayyida Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her), and when I was sent to live with him, I was nine years old; this consummation took place in Madinah Munawwarah.
