The questioner:
Is it authentic that it was said A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was proposed to the son of Mut'im ibn 'Adi before the Hijrah, and then she married the Messenger and her age was twenty-eight years? A'ishah, was she proposed to the son of Mut'im ibn 'Ali before the Hijrah in Makkah, then she married, then he left her? He annulled her engagement and then left her, or was she the wife of the Messenger and had reached the age of twenty-eight years?
The Shaykh:
She was proposed to, then proposed to the son of Latm al-Hadibi or someone else; we do not know of this. What is known is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed to her when she was a small girl, six or seven years old, and her father presented her to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he consummated the marriage with her after nine years, and she was a small girl. How could she be nine years old? Nine years old, a small girl, and he entered upon her in Makkah,
The presenter:
All right.
The Shaykh:
after he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, in the first instance of his (peace and blessings be upon him) refuge.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
That the state of travel was broken before that, so we do not know which of these is the case at all.
