THE STORY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD - Marriage with Saudah and Aisha

Prophet Muhammad married Ummul Mu'minin Saudah binti Zum'ah in month Shawwal in the 10th year in prophethood. Saudah including those who have long embraced Islam and moved to Abbisinia / Ethiopia in the second wave. Initially she was the wife of Sakran bin Amr who had also converted to Islam and migrated together to Abbisinia, but Sakran died in that country. So after Saudah returned to Mecca and his iddah period was over, Prophet Muhammad immediately married her. Thus, Saudah was the first woman married to Rasulullah after the death of Khadijah.

Saudah including women who are noble and intelligent minds. Tall and big stature. With the freshness of her jokes, she becomes a wife who pleases Prophet Muhammad, as in the story narrated by Ibrahim An-Nakha'i that Saudah said to Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, last night I prayed behind you, when bowing your back touched my nose hard , then I hold my nose out of fear that blood will come out, "then laughed Prophet Muhammad. Ibrahim said, "The usual Saudah made Prophet Muhammad laugh with jokes".

Among the virtues of Saudah is obedience and loyalty to Rasulullah. When the Hajj Wada', Rasulullah said to his wives, "This is the time of pilgrimage for you, then after this you should hold back in your homes". So after Rasulullah's death, Saudah was always at her house and did not leave Hajj until she died. (Sunan Abu Dawud 2: 140)

Saudah died at the end of the Umar Caliphate in Medina in the year 54 Hijri. Before she died, she left her house to Aisha.

Rasulullah married Aisha (Ayesha) when she was only six years old through a sacred bond that confirmed the title of the Ummul Mukminin of Aisha. This marriage took place in the month Shawwal of the 11th year in Prophethood. However, they built a household in Madinah in the 1st year of Shawwal, when Aisha was nine years old. Aisha said, "Prophet Muhammad married me after the death of Khadijah, while I was six years old, and I was met with him when I was nine years old. The women came to me even though I was busy playing swings and my hair was long. Then they decorate me and bring me to the Prophet SAW ". Rasulullah's marriage with Aisha also strengthened the friendship with Abu Bakr.

One time Amr bin Ash asked Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, who are the people you love the most?" He replied, "Aisha." "Among men?" Amr asked. He replied, "Her father." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

Aisha bint Abu Bakr was born four years after Muhammad was appointed as a Prophet. Her mother was named Ummu Ruman bint Amir bin Uwaimir bin Abdi Syams bin Kinanah who died when the Rasulullah was still alive, in the 6th year of the Hijri. Their household lasted 8 years and 5 months, until Rasulullah died in 11 Hijri. While at that time Aisha was only 18 years old.

Aisha is a beautiful white woman. In addition, she is also known as an intelligent woman whom Allah SWT has prepared to be a companion to Rasulullah in carrying out a mission of preaching which will be an eye-cooling and solace for Rasulullah. One day the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) showed (to the Prophet) a picture of Aisha on a piece of green silk cloth while saying, "She is your future wife, in the world and in the hereafter". (Narrated by At-Tirmidzi)

In addition to being a faithful companion who always gives motivation to her beloved husband in the struggle to preach Islamic teachings and face the enemy, Aisha also becomes a claimant of knowledge that is always studying in the nubuwwah madrasa that gets knowledge directly from the source. She was noted to be among those who narrated many hadith and had excellence in various fields of science, including fiqh, health, and Arabic poetry. At least 1,210 hadiths which she narrated have been agreed upon by Imam Bukhari and Muslim and 174 hadiths which were only narrated by Imam Bukhari and 54 hadiths which were only narrated by Imam Muslim.

Aisha died in Medina at night on the 17th of Ramadan 57 Hijriah, during the reign of Muawiyah, at the age of 65 years, after her inheritance to be prayed by Abu Hurairah and buried at Baqi's funeral that same night.
