She was engaged to an unbeliever before, but after she became a Muslim, the unbeliever broke the engagement.
After a time, the Prophet informed his friend that he wanted to marry Aisha, and upon Abu Bakr's approval and Aisha's desire marriage took place. The most reliable and lgonarrations show that Ayşe was 19 years old at this time. Because it is known that Aisha was 28 years old when the Prophet passed away and they had been married for 9 years.
When the sources are examined, the first thing that draws attention is the enviable love between them.
We can easily see this when we witness scenes from their lives.
Before we tell the first scene, we must tell a short story.
Joseph (the prophet) was a very beautiful boy and was loved very much by his father (Jacob (Prophet)). His brothers envied him and threw him into a well, a trade caravan found him and sold him as a slave to a noble from the Egyptian palace. Since this person had no children and Joseph was very beautiful, he adopted him. But when Joseph grew up, he became an irresistibly handsome boy, and his stepmother fell in love with him. Rumors spread in the palace. Then his stepmother summoned the women of the palace and placed fruit plates and knives in front of them, and called Joseph while they were peeling the fruit. The women were so fascinated that they cut their hands while looking at Joseph. Then Joseph's stepmother said, "This is Joseph, whose love you accuse me of."
Coming back to our topic,
Aisha says, "What would the women who cut off their fingers when they saw Yusuf saw the Prophet (Muhammad)?"
Aisha, a young girl who was also brought up in the Prophet's education, was a religious scholar, and people would get answers by asking her about contradictory issues after the Prophet's death. They once asked, "How about a woman adorning for her husband?" Aisha replied, "I used to apply such fragrant oil that the Prophet's beard would shine."
Once, People asked Ayşe; "Does kissing break the ablution?" (Ablution: washing hands, face, arms and feet before prayer).
Aisha replies: "Once, the Prophet kissed one of his wives and then went to the mosque to pray (kissing does not interfere with ablution)".
The person who asked the question smiled and said, "That wife was none other than you, wasn't it?" Aisha smiled and shook her head.
Finally, during a campaign, the Prophet ordered the army to "go ahead" and he and his wife Aisha stayed behind. Then he said, "Let's race". They competed and Aisha (as a young girl) passed the Prophet. Years passed, and during another expedition, the Prophet said let's race again. Ayşe tells about this event as follows: "I couldn't pass the prophet this time because I gained weight, so he laughed at me and said, "This is revenge."
In short, they were a happy couple who loved each other.
This is the real story of them.
If you hear or read a story that does not fit with this, it is known that someone with malicious intent is trying to manipulate you.
No one cares.
