CHAPTER 50: ALLAH’S MESSENGER CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE WITH ‘A’ISHAH IN SHAWWAL
ALLAH’S MESSENGER CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE WITH ‘A’ISHAH IN SHAWWAL
Imam Ahmad related that ‘A’ishah said: “The Messenger of Allah married me in Shawwal, and consummated his marriage with me during the month of Shawwal. And who among the wives of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was dearer to him than I, and A’ishah used to like that the women (of her family) should enter the houses as brides during the month of Shawwal.” This is also related by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah from different chains through Sufyan ath-Thawri. Based on this, his consummation with her occurred seven or eight months after the Hijrah.
Ibn Jareer said: In this year, i.e. the first year of hijrah, the salat of the resident was increased from the two rak‘ahs that it used to be. The salat of the traveler was left at two rak‘ahs. This occurred a month after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in Madinah after twelve nights have passed in the month of Rabee’ ul-Akhir.
I said: We have earlier cited the Hadith related by Al-Bukhari that ‘A’ishah said: “When the prayers were first enjoined they were of two Rak‘ahs each. Later the prayer in a journey was kept as it was but the prayers for non-travelers were completed.” Al-Baihaqi has also related that Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that the prayer of residents was first enjoined and it was enjoined four rak‘ahs.
