According to Sahih Bukhari 2297, Ayesha RA narrated that Muhammad PBUH used to visit her father, Abu Bakr, every day before his migration to Habsha/Abyssinia. Now, Abu Bakr's migration to Abyssinia occurred in the 5th year of the revelation. If Aisha RA was married at the age of 9, she would have been born in the 4th year of the revelation. This would mean she was merely 1 year old during her father's emigration. However, her awareness of the visits of the Prophet to their home, which took place before the 5th year, indicates that she must have been of an age where she could comprehend such events, contradicting the notion of her being only 9 years old at the time she was married.
Additionally, there is another Hadith in Bukhari where Aisha RA recalls her childhood, specifically mentioning the revelation of a particular Quranic verse in Mecca during the 4th year of revelation. This does not align with the claim that she was born in the fourth year of revelation.
Furthermore, according to Bukhari, Muhammad PBUH prohibited the participation of children under the age of 14 in battles. However, Bukhari also records Ayesha's participation in the Battle of Badr, which suggests that she was over 14 years old during the battle. Had she been married at age 9, she would've been hardly 11 years old at the time of the battle of Badr.
We can go on and on, but these points should provide sufficient clarity regarding the essence of my earlier comment that while a narration in Bukhari gives Aisha's age as 9 at the time of her marriage, several narrations in Bukhari also suggest that Aisaha RA was much older than 9 at that time. Regarding Bukhari and other Hadith collections, you must know that they were compiled approximately 200 years after the passing of Muhammad. These compilations recorded various accounts relayed by individuals and then assessed the authenticity of these narrations. Consequently, a Hadith may or may not be accurate. Furthermore, different sects of Islam have their distinct collections of Hadith that they consider reliable. The Holy Quran remains the sole source unanimously regarded by all Muslims as unaltered word of God
