Age of Ayesha (AS) at marriage?
Aisha (AS) was married to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when she was six years old, and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. This is recorded in several hadiths. For instance, Sahih al-Bukhari states: The Prophet (peace be upon him) married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old, and she stayed with him for nine years.
Sahih al-Bukhari 67:93. Similarly, Sunan an-Nasa'i narrates: The Messenger of Allah married her when she was six years old and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 26:60. Additionally, Sunan Ibn Majah records: The Prophet (ﷺ) married Aisha when she was seven years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine.
Sunan Ibn Majah 10:33. These narrations consistently indicate her age at marriage and the consummation of their union.
