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. By Allah, I cannot find of you an example except that of Joseph's father: "}}

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.
