[[Aisha]] was Prophet [[Muhammad|Muhammad's]] was the favorite of Muhammad's wives. He married her when she was six to seven years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine [[Islamic Lunar Calendar|lunar years]] old according to the tradition (see  "[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Aisha#Aisha's Age at Consummation and Marriage|Aisha's Age at Consummation and Marriage]]"), making her Muhammad's youngest bride. Her young age is also seen in the tradition as proof of her pristine virginity at the time of her marriage to the prophet. Muhammad preferred to sleep with and have sex with Aisha above all of his other wives, and according to the tradition he died in her arms. As the favorite wife of the prophet, she was given a pre-eminent place amongst the companions of the prophet and in the [[asaanid]] of the [[hadith]] she plays a pivotal role as the originator of many traditions. If the Islamic historical narrative is to be believed, she played a key role in the struggle for power within the caliphate after the Arab conquests; during the [[First Fitna]] she lead an army against [[Ali]] to lay claim to the caliphate, but was defeated at the Battle of the Camel.
