Aisha was married in the first year AH (19 July 622 - 7 July 623) and widowed in the eleventh (1 April 632 - 20 March 633).

However, this kind of anachronism is exactly what we would expect from a person who is not remembering an event but inventing it from his imagination. The claim that Elijah Muhammad took these women as wives is complicated by the fact that marriage is a state-recognized political union, which obviously was not the relationship that Elijah Muhammad had with these women. "Elijah Muhammad Dead; Black Muslim Leader, 77". But Hamna spread the report far and wide, opposing me for the sake of her sister.

For a start, Ibn Ishaq disagrees. As Aisha tells the story: On the way home, Aisha was temporarily lost: Muhammad had ordered his wives to be veiled at the time he married Zaynab,[66] so the raid at al-Muraysi must have been after this. Ibn Kathir makes Muhammad 25 years older than Ramlah. Ibn Kathir, writing 700 years after the event, was either trying to harmonize the conflict without considering all the facts or merely restating the words of someone else who likewise failed to consider the facts.

Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman in America 2 likes Like "You can never trust hypocrites. Since Ibn Kathir is a source far removed in time from the life of the prophet, for calculation it will be assumed that thirty-odd means 36 and that Ramlah was born in 30 BH. These two narratives offer a variant for Aishas age when she was legally married, but this is an uncertainty about the date of the contract (two rather than three years before the consummation).

The apostle on that day was 53 years of age, that being 13 years after God called him. Further, it is certain that the raid at al-Muraysi and consequent marriage to Juwayriyah took place not before, but after, Muhammads marriage to Zaynab bint Jahsh.
