It is well-established in Sahih al-Bukhari and other collections that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, married Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine years old. Books of Sirah (biography of the Prophet) have reported this as a continuous tradition (mutawatir). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not consummate his marriage with Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, until after she had reached puberty and was prepared for intercourse and conjugal life.
