Prophet's (PBUH) Marriage with Ayesha . . .

[Sabrejet]

Unless I am mistaken, the OP asked the question with this intent in mind: if Aisha was a hypocrite according to the shia, then why did the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) marry her? This is the shia/sunni dialogue section after all.

The thread instead devolved into a discussion of her age at the time of marriage. We have plenty of those already, and they are all that ever show up on google or youtube searches.

Can we stop this thread becoming one of those? Let's discuss her hypocrisy in the light of the Quran and mutually acceptable ahadith.

As for Fatima (peace be upon her), then we find the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam) rejecting people due to her small age. Anyways, one should really check narrations before jumping to conclusions.

That's another headache to deal with. 

 

Salam talking about age of her is a too wrong conclusion because prophet Muhammad (pbu) has not mentioned her age as an excuse for rejecting  people so therefore talking about her age is not the case which talking about her age is irrational because She has been totally in different level than other ordinary women like wise Ayesha & etc even in higher level than women likewise lady Mary since  initiating creation until end of the world  ;which she has had divine knowledge equal to  Amir al Muminin Imam Ali (عليه السلام)  which she has inherited from peophet Muhammad (pbu) which in all aspects of her life she only can be compared with prophet Muhammad (pbu) &   Amir al Muminin Imam Ali (عليه السلام) ; which according to all narrations prophet Muhammad(pbu) has rejected all people for looking for her consent & divine order because only Amir al Muminin Imam Ali (عليه السلام) has been  her only equal divine match which even according to Sunni sources prophet Muhammad (pbu) has mentioned that if she wouldn't marry with Amir al Muminin Imam Ali (عليه السلام) so then she wouldn't marry with anyone else .

 In traditions it is mentioned that: “If Ali was not created, there would be no equal for Fatimah.’8

Musnad of Ahmad bin Hanbal, vol.5 p.36, Majma’ az-Zawa’id, 6 p.101, Ar-Riyadh an-Nadhirah, vol.2 p.194.

When Fatimah reached the age of maturity, the great companions from the emigrants and Ansar such as Abu Bakr, Umar and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) to propose Fatimah in marriage but His Eminence (PBUHH) turned down their proposal and said: “I am waiting for the decree of Allah regarding her.”

It was reported that when Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf visited Prophet Muhammad, he said, “If you give Lady Fatimah’s hand in marriage to me, I will put as her dowry a hundred camels covered with expensive Egyptian cloth followed by a thousand gold Dinars!” The Prophet (PBUHH) was so displeased with this meaningless proposal that he took a handful of gravel and threw it towards Abdul Rahman and said: “Do you think I am the servant of wealth and money that you try to impress me with these things?” (Tazkirat al-Khawas)

The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: “In the event that Ali would not have been created, there would have been no one worthy to be Fatima’s spouse.”

Thereafter, the Prophet (PBUHH) announced that the marriage of Fatimah was in the hand of Allah and he himself had nothing to do concerning the matter. When Muslims knew that, they refrained from asking the Prophet for his daughter’s hand any more. Lady Fatimah’s marriage had been decreed by Allah. And with the descent of the angel of revelation; Arch Gabriel, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUHH) had been commanded to marry Lady Fatimah to Ali ibn Abi Talib. Prophet Muhammad (PBUHH) has said in this regard that an angel came to him from Allah and said, “The Lord sends his greetings unto you and has said, I have wedded your daughter Fatimah in the Heavens to Ali ibn Abi Talib; you too,

 

therefore, wed Fatimah to Ali ibn Abi Talib!” It is mentioned in the narratives that Prophet Muhammad said: “If Ali didn’t exist, there would be no mate for Fatimah.”

The Messenger of Allah (PBUHH), who has absolute guardianship over all Muslim men and women, including his daughter, would not announce his agreement to the marriage without Fatimah’s consent. By this action, he made it clear that it is inevitable to obtain the daughter’s permission for marriage because she is the one who is to live with the man and share his life.

When the Prophet (PBUHH) described the virtues of Imam Ali to his daughter, he (PBUHH) said: “I wish to make you the wife of the best of God’s creation. What is your opinion?” Lady Fatimah, who was submerged in shyness and modesty, lowered her head saying nothing and denying nothing. The Prophet (PBUHH) raised his head and spoke this historical sentence, which is proof for Islamic jurists today concerning the marriage of previously unmarried girls: “Allah is Great! Her silence is the proof of her acceptance.”

And when the Messenger of Allah (PBUHH) heard a positive response from her daughter, he asked Ali thus: “What do you have from the worldly wealth for the dowry?” Ali said: “May my parents be sacrificed for you, you are well aware that my belongings are nothing more than a sword, an armour, and a camel.”

 

“O Ali, Allah has ordered me to marry Fatimah to you, and I have done for four hundred weights of silver.”16

Then the Prophet said, “I marry my daughter to you as the Beneficent One has willed for you. I have accepted what Allah has accepted for her. The best son-in-law, and the best companion you are, and Allah’s pleasure with you suffices you.”17

Quote

The Prophet (S) told his companions that Allah had ordered him to marry his daughter to Imam Ali ((عليه السلام).). He said to them, ‘An angel came and said to me: O messenger of Allah, Allah sends you greeting and says to you: I have married Fatimah to Ali in the high Heaven, so you marry her to him in the earth.’4

Then, the Prophet (S) went to Fatimah (s.a.) and said to her, ‘I marry you to the best one of my umma. He is the most knowledgeable, the most prudent and the first Muslim.’5

On another occasion, he said to her, ‘O Fatimah, do you not know that Allah observed the people of the earth, and then He chose your father from among them and sent him a messenger, and once another He observed and then He chose your husband and revealed to me so that I married him (to my daughter) and took him my guardian?’6

On a third occasion he said to her, ‘He (Imam Ali) is the first of my companions in being Muslim, the most of them in knowledge, and the greatest of them in prudence.’7
