The torment and bliss of the grave are established by continuously transmitted texts, and the Sunnis have agreed upon this.
As for Aisha's age when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, it has been clarified and the doubts raised about it have been answered.
As for the age of Umm Al-Mu'minin Khadijah when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, no authentic has been established regarding it. What is well-known among biographers is that she was forty, and it was also narrated that her age was twenty-eight years. The point is that her exact age at the time of marriage has not been authentically established.
