The full name of Ayesha radi Allahu anha is Ayesha bint abi bakr. She was the third wife of the prophet

وسلمصلى هللا عليه . She was known for her intelligence and knowledge. She was very wise and she

was known for her good memory. She was most beloved to nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه after Khadija

radi allahu anha

After the death of nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه , when the companion didn’t know about any matter,

they would approach Ayesha.

Some of the group spread rumor about her that she had affair with a man. One time in a battle

she was accompanying the prophet, she was tired and she slept. She was very light, no one

could realize she wasn’t in the compartment above the camel. One man was behind the group

to check if anything is left behind. He saw her and recognized her, without speaking to her and

looking at her, he let her mount on top of camel. And when they reached madinah, the

hypocrites started talking about this. So nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه was a human and he didn’t know

the ghaib (un-seen). She went to her parents’ house during this time and she got sick because

everyone questioned her chastity. Till forty days prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه didn’t know what to

do, then Allah revealed ayahs of surah noor. From the seventh heaven Allah revealed ayahs for

her, which is a big honor for her. That is Ayesha, in the Quran you have ayahs mentioning about

her chastity.Don’t talk about chastity of anyone. Even if someone in the future talks about

chastity of Ayesha radi Allahu anha then you mention this ayah. Allah is the one who defends,

so rely on Him.

After the death of Khadija radi ALlahu anha, he وسلمصلى هللا عليه felt alone. But he didn’t

approach anyone for marriage until khawla approached him and recommended sawda bint

zama’ to him. After that, from Allah came a dream to prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه . A girl came with

cloak on her face and jibreel aley his salam said open her face, this is your wife in duniya and

akhirah. When he unveiled her face, he saw Ayesha. He saw the same dream constantly. This

was from Allah, and not because nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه was behind the women. One of the

reason behind this marriage was that she was 18 when prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه passed away,

and she carried that knowledge after his death. And she radi allahu anha was daughter of his

beloved friend and it was to strengthen the relationship between them. And his marriage

shows that it is about love, trust and understanding and not about age. But on the other hand,

men can’t take this excuse to marry someone young. When it comes to marriage they follow

their desire but when it comes to Salah, they lack the motivation. So it is a reminder that they

are not nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه and his marriage was for a purpose.

The dream came so many times, that he وسلمصلى هللا عليه didn’t ignore it. When he went to abu

bakr sidiq radi allahu anhu, so abu bakr understood nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه came for the proposal

of his daughter. He said to nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه that she is young, so let me send her to you and

see if you like her. He sent Ayesha radi allahu anha with dates, and said that say to nabi صلى هللا

وسلمعليه that what we have, is what you want?. Nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه welcomed her and nabi

وسلمصلى هللا عليه said yes and that was affirmation from his side. So abu bakr siddiq became

happier that his beloved friend and nabi will marry his daughter. So when nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه

migrated to medinah and she migrated after him. Now she was nine years old, and abu bakr

siddiq told that she can move to nabi’s وسلمصلى هللا عليه house. Abu bakr went to nabi صلى هللا

وسلمعليه and said, “what is stopping you to complete the marriage”. Nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه was

waiting for abu bakr and he didn’t consummate the marriage until she hit puberty.

So when she came to the house, now sawda bint zamah was there. She had dolls in her luggage

when she moved to the house nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه . She grew in the house of nabi صلى هللا عليه

that’s why she is good example for all the women of world. She use to play with dolls when وسلم

nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه wasn’t there, and at times she wants to go out and see kids playing, he use

to take her out. And she use to talk a lot and narrate long stories and prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه

use to listen to her. This shows that you can’t expect people to change over-night, you have to

be patient. If a man marries a woman now and she is immature then he can’t be patient with

her. But prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه was very careful with women. Sawda bintu zamah use to

teach her about the likes and dislikes of nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه . She even learned a lot of hadiths

from nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه and she was very brave and confident. Even nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه

said to the sahaba that, “ if you want religion then you take it from red head” (That means you

take religion from Ayesha radi allahu anha) Nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه use to love her, even she had

shortcomings, he use to correct her and he never felt ashamed in expressing his love of her in

front of sahaba.

Amar bin aa’s, he became Muslim late. When nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه use to see he and he use to

smile. So he used to think nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه that loved him the most. So he went to nabi

وسلمصلى هللا عليه and said, “Who is the most beloved to you?” (Expecting the answer to be his

name). Nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه without any hesitation said, “Ayesha”. He said, “no, I mean from

the men”. Nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه said,”abu bakr” and he asked again expecting his name to come

but nabi وسلمصلى هللا عليه umar and then uthman radi Allahu anhum. And then amar bin aas

thought my name will never come.

From here you can see that prophet وسلمصلى هللا عليه never felt ashamed to express his love. In

the time of Ayesha radi allahu anha, so many women came in the life of prophet. Although he

was fair but he loved Ayesha radi Allahu anha the most. That’s why the wives of nabi صلى هللا

وسلمعليه were very jealous of Ayesha.
