The exact point in time of 'A'isha's marriage to [[the Prophet (s)]] is unknown. According to a report, this marriage took place after the demise of [[Lady Khadija (a)]], and two or three years prior to the [[Hijra|migration of the Prophet (s) to Medina]]. According to this report, this was the Prophet's first marriage after the demise of Lady Khadija (a). However, other more famous reports mention that the Prophet (s) married [[Sawda bt. Zam'at b. Qays|Sawda]] before marrying 'A'isha. According to popular sources of history, 'A'isha was around six or seven years old at the time of her marriage to the Prophet (s) but before that, was supposed to marry [[Jubayr b. Mut'am]]. However, after being suggested to marry the Prophet (s), this arrangement was called off and she married the Prophet. The consummation of their marriage took place a few years later after the migration to Medina when 'A'isha was nine years old. | The exact point in time of 'A'isha's marriage to [[the Prophet (s)]] is unknown.

In the face of this report, some researchers have referred to different historic accounts and have known 'A'isha's age at the time of marriage to be 18 years. Amongst the sources these researchers cite, is the report from Ibn Ishāq who mentions 'A'isha to be one of the first Muslims and indicates that 'A'isha was a child at that time. If at the time of the appointment of Prophethood to the Prophet (bi'that) 'A'isha was at least seven years old, then she should be seventeen years old at the time of her marriage to the Prophet.

If at the time of the appointment of Prophethood to the Prophet ([[bi'that]]) 'A'isha was at least seven years old, then she should be seventeen years old at the time of her marriage to the Prophet. Moreover, Ibn Qutayba in his book ''Al-Ma'arif'' mentions 'A'isha's age at her demise in 58/677-678 to be 70 years. If we consider this number to be correct, then in keeping with some reports that mention 'A'isha's marriage to the Prophet to have taken place three years before the migration (i.e. 10th year of bi'that) 'A'isha would have been approximately 9 years old on that year, (and accordingly, 19 years old at the time of her marriage.) | ||
Another source that confirms 'A'isha's age at the time of marriage to the Prophet (s) is the age of her sister Asma' bt. Abu Bakr. Asma' was ten years older than her sister 'A'isha. She was 27 years old at the time of the migration. If we know 'A'isha's marriage to have taken place on the first year of the migration, then accordingly, she should be 17 years old at the time of her marriage. | Another source that confirms 'A'isha's age at the time of marriage to the Prophet (s) is the age of her sister Asma' bt.
