So Bukhari goes to collect the narrations, and he finds 6 people who do not know each other, who report to him the exact same narration regarding Aisha - including all the details; i.e. that she was 6 & 9 when married and consummated.

==Claim of Non Authenticity==
A lot of Muslims will declare any narration that they do not like as 'unauthentic.' However, since we are playing by their own rules (their classifications for ahadith), the onus is on ''them'' to show ''how'' the narrations are unauthentic. If they are dealing with Sahih Muslim or Sahih Bukhari, then they must address Bukhari's criteria and bring the evidence to show which criteria/s the narration fails on. If they cannot, then it is their duty as a ahadith accepting Muslim to accept the narration until they can show which criteria it fails.
For example, in the modern age, many Muslims find it abhorrent that Muhammad had sex with a child, so the sahih ahadith where Aisha tells you her age are often contested by Muslims and declared 'unauthentic', but let us have look at how many there are; we can [[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha#Aisha.27s_Age_at_Consummation_and_Marriage|count]] them. Bearing in mind that for each narration in each collection, it was actually passed down through different isnads. There are a lot more 'chains' than the example picture shown above. The details of the narrations are consistent across collections (ie. Tabari, Ishaq, Muslim, Bukhari, Dawud etc..) so that rules out the possibility that the collector made them up or a specific area had incorporated a cultural practice into Islam, and even one sahih narration is enough to form a part of [[shari'ah]].
In short, with these narrations, given the plenitude of them, also the fact that they are 'Sahih' and 'Mutawatir', when dealing with ahadith, this is the closest you can get to: "yes this definitely happened." Therefore the onus is on the Muslim to use his own criteria to disqualify the narration and not on the opponent to prove it is authentic, because they are in Sahih collections.
