`Aaishah was married with the Prophet at 10 years old

I have noticed a lot of shee`ahs try to go after the age of `aaishah saying that she was not 9 years old when she married the Prophet but she was as some say 14 17 years old. I have always seen the Shee`ahs use Sunnee hadeeth to prove that she wasnt 9 years old, but I have always wondered what is said about her age when she married the Prophet ? Here is a SaHeeH hadeeth that shows that `Aaishah, the wife of the Prophet , was indeed 10 years old when they were married, for sure.


The Prophet entered upon (had sexual intercourse with) `Aaishah when she was 10 years old, and that one doesnt enter (upon) a jaariyah (girl) until she became a woman. Source: 1. 2. 3. Grading: 1. 2. Al-Kulayni, Al-Kaafi, vol.7, pg. 388, hadeeth # 1 Al-Toosi, Tahdheeb Al-aHkaam, vol. 6, ch. 91, pg. 251, hadeeth # 49 Al-`Aamilee, Wasaail Al-Shee`ah, vol. 1, ch. 4, pg. 44, hadeeth # 75 Al-Majlisi said this hadeeth is SaHeeH Miraat Al-`Uqool, vol. 24, pg. 235 Al-Majlisi said this hadeeth is SaHeeH Muwaththaq (Authentic Reliable) Milaadh Al-Akhyaar, vol. 10, pg. 102

In this context, when the word dakhala (entered) is used, it is used as a nice way of saying intercourse. As you can see that the Prophet was married with `Aaishah by the time she was 10 years for sure, since it says he entered upon `Aaishah.
