English

[3479] 69 – (1422) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah married me when I was six years old and he lived with me when I was nine years old." She said: "We came to Al- Madinah and I fell sick for a month and my hair came down to my neck. Umm RiImân came to me when I was on a swing and some of my friends were with me. She called me loudly and I went to her, and I did not know what she wanted of me. She took me by the hand and made me stand at the door. I said: 'Hâh, Hâh (as if gasping for breath)' until I had calmed down, then she took me into a house where there were some women of the Ansâr who said: 'With good wishes, and blessings, and good fortune.' She handed me over to them and they washed my hair and adorned me, and then suddenly the Messenger of Allah iW, was there, and they handed me over to him."
