Abstract
This Article presenting the divergent orientalists’ opinions, that were not indicated in most cases by reliable historical texts, about the ages of Saida Aisha when she got married to the Prophet. They have noticed the scarcity of information about the childhood of Saida Aisha and if her childhood was shrouded in mystery, then how could it be possible to confirm her early marriage. This research adapted the descriptive approach by collecting contradicted evidence of debaters and analyzing them in the light of Hadiths data related to the subject. The researchers concluded that reconsidering the age of Saida Aisha is necessary since the clear indications to her age in al-Bukhari and other canonical books of prophetic traditions are not prophetic statements but historical records of the companions and individual matters. Her sister Asma’ was 10 years older, and she was 27 years when they migrated to Yathrib which means Saida Aisha was 17 when they migrated! According to this historical account the age of Saida Aisha when got married was around nineteen.
