Besides Prophet [[Muhammad]] himself [[The Meaning of Consummate|consummating]] his [[marriage]] to nine [[Islamic Lunar Calendar|year]] old [[Aisha]] when he was 54, his [[Sahabah|companions]] also committed [[Islam and Pedophilia|pedophilia]].
In addition to evidence that Prophet [[Muhammad]] [[The Meaning of Consummate|consummated]] his [[marriage]] to [[Islamic Lunar Calendar|year]] old [[Aisha]] when she was a young child, it is alleged that his prominent [[Sahabah|companion]] Umar ibn al-Khattab also committed [[Islam and Pedophilia|pedophilia]].
 
Although Sunni sources agree on this marriage, the source for her young age is the Sunni text ''Tarikh al-Khamis'', a work by Husayn Diyar Bakari. Both the text and the author are relatively obscure, and are not viewed as having particular authority within Sunni Islam.
 
Shia sources generally agree that the marriage occurred, but view it as forced. Umar ibn al-Khattab is unanimously viewed very negatively in Shia literature, and is considered a usurper and false caliph.
