Siti Aisyah’s childhood

In general, geniuses usually have shown signs of their genius since childhood, both in word and deed. Their childhood seems to signify a bright future. A time when they will give birth to great achievements.

Likewise with Siti Aisyah Radhiyallahu Anha. Signs of glory, majesty and happiness have been seen in his movements and behavior in his childhood. However, little Siti Aisyah is still a child who cannot escape her instinctive urges. Yes, she really likes to play. Her playmates used to come to Siti Aisyah’s house and play with her. Even so, Siti Aisyah kept her ethics when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam met her. Often, when Siti Aisyah was playing with her friends, suddenly the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam, came at that time, Siti Aisyah immediately hid her doll while her friends were gone, but the Messenger of Allah, Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, was a person who loved and loved children very much. Small. He actually called Siti Aisyah’s friends and told them to continue playing with Siti Aisyah.

The story is narrated by Siti Aisyah herself

“I used to play with my friends when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came, they immediately hid the spot but instead he ordered them to continue playing with me” (Narrated by Bukhari Muslim and Ibn Hibban).

Siti Aisyah’s favorite toys are dolls and swings. One day when the Prophet sallallaahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam came to Siti Aisyah while she was playing with dolls. Among the dolls, There is a horse doll that has two wings, one on the right and one on the left of the point of seeing the doll, Rasulullah SAW asked, “What is this, O Aisha?”

“Horse”, replied Siti Aisyah.

“Does a horse have two wings?” The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked.

“Didn’t Solomon’s horse have many wings?”

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam also laughed hearing Siti Aisyah’s spontaneous answer. (HR. Abu Dawud).

From Siti Aisyah’s answer, it is clear that her intelligence, innocence, and knowledge are clear broad range of religious issues. Young children, wherever they may be, tend to have no interest in anything, no business bothering them. And they don’t feel the need to think of something like that usually keeps happening until they are 7 years old or 8 years.

However, Siti Aisyah is not an ordinary child, she remembers well what happened in her childhood, including the hadiths she heard from Rasulullah Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, she understood the hadiths, narrated them, drew conclusions from the hadiths, and gave explanations about the details of jurisprudence contained therein. He also often explains wisdom from events he experienced in his childhood, Siti Aisyah is even able to remember well the verses of the Koran she heard while playing with her friends, She said:

“when I was young and loved to play, the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, received the following verse in Mecca, ‘Indeed, the Day of Judgment is the day that was promised to them and the Day of Judgment is more terrible and more bitter. Al-Qamar (54): 46”. (HR. Bukhari). When Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam migrated to Mecca Siti Aisyah was only 8 years old. But Siti Aisyah was able to remember and understand the secrets of migration in detail, eveneven down to the smallest details. None of the friends can remember the event of hijrah as detailed as Siti Aisyah remembers it. One of Siti Aisyah’s very detailed narratives is written in the Migration Chapter in Shahih Al-Bukhari and Shahih Muslim.
