The Ahl al-Bayt & Sayyidatina ‘Aishah bint Abu Bakr (r.a.)

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Three of the Shi’ah a’immah, Imam Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-‘Abidin (q.s.), Imam Abu al-Hasan Musa ibn Ja’far al-Kazhim (q.s.), and Imam ‘Ali Naqi ibn Muhammad al-Hadi (q.s.), named their daughters “‘Aishah”. 

Before that, Sayyidina ‘Ali ibn Abu Thalib (k.w.) said, about Sayyidatina ‘Aishah bint Abu Bakr (r.a.), after the Battle of the Camel, “Indeed, she is the wife of your Prophet (s.a.w.) in dunya and akhirah.”  This was recorded by Imam Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn Jarir ath-Thabari (r.a.). 

The most authentic narration of the renowned Ahadits al-Kisa’ in praise of the five Ahl al-Bayt: Muhammad (s.a.w.), Sayyidina ‘Ali (k.w.), Sayyidatina Fathimah bint Muhammad az-Zahrah (r.a.), Sayyidina Hassan ibn ‘Ali (r.a.), and Sayyidina Husayn ibn ‘Ali (r.a.); is narrated to us by none other than Sayyidatina ‘Aishah (r.a.), as recorded in Swahih Muslim.
