Biography
Daughter of Abu Bakr and beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad. In the fifty years following his death, she became a great teacher of Islam and preserved and transmitted over two thousand Ahadeeth. \r\n\r\nThe Prophet (saw) married her in Shawwal, a year after marrying Saudah. Aishah was the only virgin the Prophet (saw) married and was regarded as the best loved of all the Prophet's wives. In her youth, she came under the loving care and attention of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) himself. As his wife and close companion she acquired from him knowledge and insight such as no woman has acquired. She was the most learned female Muslim jurist in history. She passed away on Ramadan 17, 57 A.H., and was buried in Baqi.\r\n\r\n
