2121 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «تَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا بِنْتُ سَبْعٍ». قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: أَوْ سِتٍّ وَدَخَلَ بِي وَأَنَا بِنْتُ تِسْعٍ "

Commentary

A father has the right to marry off his daughter in her young age in view of some expediency, but consummation of marriage can take place only after the girl is old enough, or sensible enough to be able to accept the marriage or not.
