Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ تَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا بِنْتُ سِتٍّ وَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ وَأَنَا بِنْتُ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ وَكُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ بِالْبَنَاتِ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Adam informed me, from Abdah, from Hisham, from his father, from A'ishah, who said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and began married life with me when I was nine. I used to play with dolls.’
Translation notes
The report gives A'ishah’s ages at marriage and at the beginning of married life, and mentions her playing with dolls.
