Introduction Claims that Aisha, the wife of the prophet Muhammad, had reached puberty before the consummation of their marriage have been made by both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. These claims, however, are based on mistranslations and misinterpretations of the original Arabic texts of certain hadiths. Misinterpretation in Sunan Abu Dawud In the hadith collection Sunan Abu Dawud, one translation suggests that Aisha began menstruating right before she was taken to Muhammad to consummate the marriage. However, another translation does not mention menstruation at all. Arabic speaker Al-Fadi confirms that the Arabic text does not contain any words that denote the age of puberty or reaching pub
