The Quran was written during the time of Prophet Muhammad and its 100%
authentic! Nowhere in The Quran is it mentioned about the Prophet's
marriage!
POINT 1
According to Sahih Bukhari (which is the most authentic) of the hadiths!
According to Sahih Bukhari, Aisha is reported to have said that at the time
Surah Al-Qamar, the 54th Chapter of the Quran, was revealed, "I was a
young girl"
The 54th surah of The Quran was revealed nine years before Hijrah. So
Aisha was a young girl (jariyah), and not an infant (sibyah) at that time!
POINT 2
According to a number of narratives, Aisha accompanied the Muslims in the
Battle of Badr and Uhud. It was usual for women to accompany men in
battle so they can help in looking after the wounded.
It was a strict rule that noone under the age of 15 was allowed to accompany
anyone in battle!
POINT 3
It is a known fact that the Asma, (the elder sister of Aisha) was 10 years
older than Aisha. It is reported that Asma died 73 years after Hijrah when
she was 100 years old!
Now, Obviously if Asma was 100 years old 73 years after Hijrah, then Asma
should have been 27 or 28 years old at the time of Hijrah!
POINT 4
Tabari in his treatise on Islamic history, while mentioning Abu Bakr (father
of Aisha) reports that Abu Bakr had four children and all four were born
during pre Islamic period!
If Aisha was born before in the Pre Islamic period, then she would be more
than 13 years old during Hijrah!
POINT 5
According to Ibn Hisham, Aisha accepted Islam quite some time before
Umar ibn Khattab. Umar ibn Khattab accepted Islam roughly 7 years before
Hijrah!
Obviously, she would have been a young girl when she accpeted Islam!
If you add 7 years to a young girl! You can think for yourselves!
POINT 6
According to Ibn Hajar, Fathima (daughter of Prophet) was 5 years older
than Aisha!
Fathima was born more than 5 years before Muhammad was a Prophet!
That means Fathima was born more than 19 years before Hijrah!
If Hisham ibn Urwah was right then others would have also reported but
Hisham ibn Urwah is the only person to report this!
Hisham ibn Urwah lived in Medinah but its very fishy because there were so
many others in Medinah including the Jews!
If Prophet had married a 9 year old, obviously the Jews would have reported
or made a fuss because as we know Jews always wanted to destroy Islam!
All the narratives saying Prophet Muhammad married a 9 year old have been
reported from Iraq! Hisham ibn Urwah moved to Iraq later and these
narratives come from Iraq! Hisham moved to Iraq when he was 71 years old!
We know Iraq was influenced by Shias! Shia Muslims don't like the Prophet!
We don't know if the narratives of Hisham ibn Urwah were influenced by
them!
The narratives of Hisham ibn Urwah where he says Aisha was 9 years old
when she married the Prophet have all come from Iraq!
