‘A’isha is reported to have said: Allah’s Messenger contracted marriage with me while I was a six years old girl. Then we arrived at Medina and stayed with Banu Harith b. Khazraj. I fell victim to fever; then my hair . Then they became plenty and hanged down upto the earlobes. My mother ‘Umm Ruman came to me while I was in a swing alongwith my play-mates. She called me loudly. I went to her and I did not know what he wanted. She seized my hand and stopped me at the door of the house and I was hearing violently until the agitation of my heart was over. Then she took some water and wiped it over my face and head. Then she admitted me to the house when some woman of Ansar were present in the house. They said, "You have entered with blessings and good fortune." Then she entrusted me to them. So they embellished me and nothing frightened me but Allah’s Messenger in the morning and they entrusted me to him. On that day, I was a nine years old girl. (en) |
