Most Muslims believe that she was only six years old at the time of the betrothal (a mutual promise to marry), based on oral traditions, or hadith reported by Bukhari. However, there are other traditions, including Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad, that would indicate she was older. See Aisha for ...

| | | | Maymuna bint al-Harith: Encyclopedia II - Aisha - Young marriage age controversy The age of Aisha at marriage is an extremely contentious issue. On the one hand, there are several hadiths which are said to have been narrated by Aisha herself, which claim that she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine when the marriage was consummated. On the other hand, an early Muslim chronicler, Ibn Ishaq, claims that Aisha may have been 14 to 16 years old, just past the age of puberty, or perhaps even older.
Most Muslim scholars have accepted the tradition that Aisha was nine years old when the marriage was consumm ...

| | | | Maymuna bint al-Harith: Encyclopedia II - Muhammad's marriages - Muhammad's widows One verse in the Qur'an forbids marriage with Muhammad's widows. So far as history knows, none of his widows did remarry.
Muhammad is believed to have owned a good deal of property when he died, both moveable property and rights to land and houses. Both his widows and his blood relatives had good claims, according to traditional Arabian practice and the Quran [2.180], to shares in his wealth. Abu Bakr, the new leader of the Muslim ummah, refused to divide the property among Muhammad's widows and heirs, saying that he had heard Muhammad say,
"We (Prophets) do not have any heirs; what w ...

Aisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr of Mecca. They belonged to the Bani Tamim clan of the tribe of the Quraysh, the tribe to which Muhammad also belonged. Aisha is said to have followed her father in accepting Islam when she was still young. She also joined him in his migration to Ethiopia in 615 CE; a number of Mecca's Muslims emigrated then, seeking refuge from persecution by the Meccans who still f ...

Muslim traditions say that she was a forty-year-old rich widow, fifteen years older than Muhammad, when she noted his pleasing character and competence as her employee. According to Sunni Muslims, they had four children, of whom three survived. According to Shi'a Muslims, they had but one child, a daughter named Fatima Zahra.
Khadijah was the first to accept Muhammad as a prophet and stood staunchly behind him through many years of persecution and turmoil in ...

Aisha - Aisha's father becomes the first caliph.
After Muhammad's death in 632 C.E., Aisha's father Abu Bakr became the first caliph, or leader of the Muslims. This matter is extremely controversial. Shi'a believe that Ali should have been chosen to lead; Sunni maintain that the community chose Abu Bakr, and did so in accordance with Muhammad's wishes. This is discussed in much greater detail in the article Succession to Muhammad.

| | | | Maymuna bint al-Harith: Encyclopedia II - Aisha - Sunni and Shia views of Aisha Sunni historians praise Aisha as a Mother of Believers and a learned woman, who tirelessly recounted stories from the life of Muhammad and explained Muslim history and traditions. She is considered to be one of the foremost scholars of Islam's early age and is revered as a role model by millions of women.
Shi'a historians take a much dimmer view of Aisha. They believe that Ali should have been the first caliph, and that the other three caliphs were usurpers. Aisha not only supported Umar, Uthman and her father Abu Bakr, she also raise ...

| | | | Maymuna bint al-Harith: Encyclopedia II - Maria al-Qibtiyya - Maria in Muhammad's household Maria bore Muhammad a son, named Ibrahim. Only one other of Muhammad's wives, the deceased Khadijah, had borne him children. Ibrahim died in infancy, but as long as he lived, Muhammad was a doting parent.
Muhammad's attentions to Maria certainly caused dissension among his wives, or other wives. This is related in numerous hadith.
What is not so clear is whether or not the sixty-sixth chapter of the Qur'an, surah At-Tahrim, was revealed on account of Maria. The sura reads, in part:
"O Prophet, why do you make pr ...

| | | | Maymuna bint al-Harith: Encyclopedia II - Muhammad's marriages - Many wives of Medina Soon after settling in Medina, Muhammad married Hafsa, the daughter of Umar, another close advisor. He was thus linked by marriage to two of his chief lieutenants -- Abu Bakr, who was to lead the Muslims after Muhammad's death, and Umar, who became caliph after Abu Bakr.
Note that some Shi'a Muslims do not believe that Abu Bakr and Umar were ever close friends or trusted lieutenants of Muhammad. Sunni Muslims and academic historians believe that there is ample historical evidence to establish their positions as companions and leaders.
The marriage to Hafsa was the first of a spate of marriages in the year ...
