Abu Dawood Abu Dawood Hijaab of the Ansaari Women

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

In reply to a question regarding marriage of prophet Mohammad [ ] , I was given to understand that prophet Mohammad had a dream in which he saw that he got married with hazrat Aisah who was only 6-7 year old at that time. Consequently, he discussed this with hazrat Aisha. in other word this marriage was arranged by Allah himself. If so, we have a logical answer to satisfy critics that it was ordered by Allah. However, in support of that there must be an athentic hadith or a verse in the Qur'an.I will appreciate if you can provide me info regarding this issue.
