[[Aisha]] was Prophet [[Muhammad|Muhammad's]] | [[Aisha]] was Prophet [[Muhammad|Muhammad's]] was the favorite of Muhammad's wives. He married her when she was six to seven years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine [[Islamic Lunar Calendar|lunar years]] old according to the tradition (see "[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Aisha#Aisha's Age at Consummation and Marriage|Aisha's Age at Consummation and Marriage]]"), making her Muhammad's youngest bride. Her young age is also seen in the tradition as proof of her pristine virginity at the time of her marriage to the prophet. Muhammad preferred to sleep with and have sex with Aisha above all of his other wives, and according to the tradition he died in her arms. As the favorite wife of the prophet, she was given a pre-eminent place amongst the companions of the prophet and in the [[Isnad|isnads]] of the [[hadith]] she plays a pivotal role as the originator of many traditions. If the Islamic historical narrative is to be believed, she played a key role in the struggle for power within the caliphate after the Arab conquests; during the [[First Fitna]] she lead an army against [[Ali]] to lay claim to the caliphate, but was defeated at the Battle of the Camel. | ||

===Muhammad | ===Muhammad liked to Fondle Virgins=== | ||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|38|504}}|Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was accompanying the Prophet on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was lagging behind the others. The Prophet passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Jabir bin 'Abdullah." He asked, "What is the matter, (why are you late)?" I replied, "I am riding a slow camel." He asked, "Do you have a stick?" I replied in the affirmative. He said, "Give it to me." When I gave it to him, he beat the camel and rebuked it. Then that camel surpassed the others thenceforth. The Prophet said, "Sell it to me." I replied, "It is (a gift) for you, O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Sell it to me. I have bought it for four Dinars (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it till Medina." When we approached Medina, I started going (towards my house). The Prophet said, "Where are you going?" I Sad, "I have married a widow." '''He said, "Why have you not married a virgin to fondle with each other?"''' I said, "My father died and left daughters, so I decided to marry a widow (an experienced woman) (to look after them)." He said, "Well done." When we reached Medina, Allah's Apostle said, "O Bilal, pay him (the price of the camel) and give him extra money." Bilal gave me four Dinars and one Qirat extra. (A sub-narrator said): Jabir added, "The extra Qirat of Allah's Apostle never parted from me." The Qirat was always in Jabir bin 'Abdullah's purse.}} | {{Quote|{{Bukhari|3|38|504}}|Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was accompanying the Prophet on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was lagging behind the others.

She said, "I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle." '''Still a ''young girl'' as I was and though I had little knowledge of Quran''', I said, "By Allah, I know that you heard this story (of the Ifk) so much so that it has been planted in your minds and you have believed it. So now, if I tell you that I am innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me; and if I confess something, and Allah knows that I am innocent of it, you will believe me.

Note that the exact same Arabic phrase appears in another hadith, but with a serious mistranslation: | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|1|8|465}}| Narrated `Aisha: | |||
(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my parents following Islam '''since I attained the age of puberty'''. Not a day passed but the Prophet (ﷺ) visited us, both in the mornings and evenings.}} | |||
This is a mistranslation. The exact same Arabic phrase appears in both hadiths. See [https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Aishas_Age_of_Consummation#Hadith_Saying_.27Aisha_Had_Reached_Puberty here] for details. | |||
Thus ‘Aisha was either not very old or not born yet when her parents became Muslims. This is consistent with her being a child when her marriage with Muhammad was consummated. | Thus ‘Aisha was either not very old or not born yet when her parents became Muslims.

This is not saying Muhammad had intercourse with Aisha while her playmates were watching. Rather it says the playmates played with her, and they went out when Muhammad came by, and could come back after he left. | This is not saying Muhammad had intercourse with Aisha while her playmates were watching.
