^^ See that is where Fiqh is so important to follow. I am amazed at people who denounce Taqleed. Faqeehs went through the list of Ahadees and compared ever hadees with Quran and defined Sharee'at. Just following hadees without having knowledge of Fiqh will get us into confusion.
ditto!
to my Muslim and Momin brothers and sisters
Just a couple of noteworthy quotations:
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his shahadat by poison.
Source: Sahih Bokhari. Volume 7. Book 62. Number 64.
Narrated 'Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his Lord had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of Qasab and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friend
Source: Sahih Bokhari. Volume 8. Book 73. Number 33

Thank you for posting this.
As-Salamu 'Alaykum
sister, how can you even conclude this without reading the original sources properly. This shameful act of Muslim apologists to please the non-Muslims that she was 19 years old has been debunked here.

I have read this alleged refutation before, but it is not a refutation in the strictest sense. It is only an argument for refutation. The narrative asserts that such things have been refuted but at best it is selecting strong over weak.
For example the one hadith about the age deduction using Asma' (RA) age is said to be refuted on the basis that the narrator is from a generation below the sahabah. This does not make it refuted as they suggest, it merely makes it not as dependable.
I also diasgree with those people who strongly oppose the age given in Al-Bukhari but equally I diasgree with those who cling on to it when there is sufficent doubt in this matter.

akhee, this is not correct and this is what it actually says:
The age difference between Asmaa ( رضي لله عنھا ) and Aishah ( رضي لله عنھا ) was narrated by historians, only from the words of Ibn Abee Az-Zinaad who did not live at the time of Asmaa ( رضي لله عنھا ) since he is from the Atbaa’ at-Tabi’een. He was credited by some and discredited by many. Furthermore, most of scholars whom he narrated from did not see Asmaa ( رضي لله عنھا ) either. Thus, the narration cannot be accepted as its chain is munqati' (discontinuous). .[It is when the chain has a missing link between the Successors and the Companion. Ibn Hajr added that the break may occur at more than one place in the chain.]
On another note, if we are to accept this very weak narration then we must also acknowledge the statement which was made after mentioning the words of Ibn Abee Az- Zinaad by the historian who narrated it.
Imam Adh-Dhahabi said:
[INDENT] “Ibn Abee Az-Zinaad said: She – Asmaa ibn Abee Bakr – is older than Aishah by ten years. I say: If this is true, then the age of Asmaa when she passed away should be ninety-one. On the other hand, Hisham ibn 'Urwah said: She lived a hundred years without a tooth falling.” [Tareekh Al-Islam, 5/354]
[/INDENT] the scholars of the past unanimously agreed on the fact: that 'Aishah (radiallahu anha) was indeed 6 years old when she was married to the Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu 'alayhi wa salam). Every scholar agreed on the authenticity of Saheeh Bukharee and why do we only see such odd opinions in modern age. Can any of the modernists quote any early scholar's opinion in their favour? If a scholar recorded a hadeeth in his history book, it doesn't prove he held that opinion.
and indeed Allah Ta'ala knows best

^ JazakAllah khair bro AllahkaBanda
The evidence that you have given holds no logic grounds for argument I'm sorry but it is unclear what Imam Adh-Dhahabi is intending to say in this statement. Lets analyse this:
“Ibn Abee Az-Zinaad said: She – Asmaa ibn Abee Bakr – is older than Aishah by ten years. I say: If this is true, then the age of Asmaa when she passed away should be ninety-one. On the other hand, Hisham ibn 'Urwah said: She lived a hundred years without a tooth falling.” [Tareekh Al-Islam, 5/354]
1: Ibn Abee Az-Zinaad claims Aisha(RA) Age + 10 = Asmaa (RA) Age
2: Asma (RA) should be 91 at death if this is true claims Imam Adh-Dhahabi
3: Conclusion Aisha(RA) Age at time of Asmaa(RA) death should be 81 and Aisha(RA) is alive although her sister is not.
4: Now Imam Adh-Dhahabi makes reference to one of the two sisters (RA) living 100 years without a tooth falling. Lets take it to mean Asmaa(RA).
5: If that is the case then in this line there is no death time. The logical claim here is that someone live 100 years not someone lived until and dies at 100 years, then claiming that this someone did not have a single tooth fall out, which to me seems that this 100 year old was fit and healthy at 100, but no time of death is given.
6: And finally within the frame of argument there is no reason why Aisha(RA) cannot be 90 at the time of Asmaa(RA)'s death provided we conclude a person whose tooth has not fallen dies when she reaches 100 years.
I see here that attempts are being made by Imam to understand the hadith in Bukhari and hence preference is given to Hisham ibn 'Urwah (RA) over the T'abieen scholar.
The point is not refuted really.
Ibne-e-Khuldoon,a famous Sunni historian states that Hazrat Ayesha was killed by Hazrat Muwayiya (RA).Jalal-ud-Din Siyuti,another celebrated Sunni scholar mentions the killing of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) at the hands of Al-e-Marwan.She was buried in a well.Can anyone locate the grave of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) at Jannat-ul-Baqi?
Re: Wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) = Jewel of Madina
^ that incident refers to marwan's murder of his half -sister , aishah died in madina.Typical of 12ers to exaggerate things
Re: Wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) = Jewel of Madina
I agree with Allahkabanda , age of aishah is immaterial , we should not fall prey to political correctness and try to falsify her age as over 18
^ that incident refers to marwan's murder of his half -sister , aishah died in madina.Typical of 12ers to exaggerate things
hmm, was Marwan's sister also called Ayesha?
Do you know where is Ummun Momineen Ayesha buried?
Re: Wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) = Jewel of Madina
^ Is she buried in syria ? i forget her name i will chck and let u know
give us a break man, muawiyah have enough crimes of his own there is no need to invent others.
If you wanna talk about his assasination of aisha's 2 brothers muhammad and abdur rehman b abubakr then i will support u
