Why should Aisha, with her extraordinary memory,[54] her penchant for details and her talent for arithmetic,[55] have been any exception? If he had long ago mentioned that Khadijah was two years older than himself, he might have needed to stick to his story about her relative age and readjust her chronological age in order to keep it consistent with his claims about his own age. But presumption is not fact. None of the early Islamic sources gives an exact age for Sawdah. Elijah Muhammad, Jr., served as Asst. The traditions about Maymunah are hard to reconcile: This would place her death in the year between 4 October 680 and 22 September 681 and her birth in 21 or 20 BH between 4 March 602 and 10 February 604 (median = 21 February 603).

Huwaytib died in the year 54 AH (673-674)[16] so he should have converted to Islam in the year 7 BH (615616). Copious documentation on hundreds of Muhammads companions shows that most Arabs knew their age to the nearest year. Quran 4:7-11 was written to answer the complaint of an Uhud widow,[44] so it must date from after 22 March 625. Since Muhammad fell ill and then died in early June 632,[83] the latest possible date for his marriage to Amrah would be May 632. So the median wedding date is September 631.

May 620 thus works as an approximination. It was the year when Muhammad first preached Islam in public;[56] Aishas parents would not have forgotten what was happening around the city at the time when their daughter was born. We know such ignorant, foolish teaching would bring him to his own end. Muhammad most likely considered divorcing Sawdah in December 626 or January 627 expressly because he wanted to marry a fifth woman but was trying to observe the limit of four wives. In the culture of the medieval Arabs, when a womans value to society depended on her capacity to bear children, a woman only had three life-stages: childhood (before she could bear children), adulthood (childbearing age) and old age (when she was past childbearing). Ibn Kathir, writing 700 years after the event, was either trying to harmonize the conflict without considering all the facts or merely restating the words of someone else who likewise failed to consider the facts.
