This claim is that she was around the ages of six and seven, and that her marriage was consummated at nine. It comes from the two most authoritative of the Sunni Hadith books (collectively the Sahihayn): Sahih al-Bukhari 5133, and Sahih Muslim 1422 c.
It is often said one of Muhammad’s wives was 9 years old, but this is almost certainly not true.
The false stories come from a collection called, the Hadith. There is a story coming from one person stating the false age plainly.
However every attempt to construct a timeline of her life using many different people as sources gives us an age of around 20 at age of marriage.
