Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ سِتٍّ وَبَنَى بِهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us; he said: Abu Muawiyah informed us; he said: Hisham ibn Urwah narrated to us, from his father, from Aishah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married her when she was six years old and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic distinguishes the marriage contract at age six from consummation at age nine.
