The opinion of Sunni scholars on Wahhabism (part 1)

Zaini Dihlan, was the great Sheikh and Mufti of Mecca. In the book of "Fitna al-Wahhabia", he quoted the anticipation of the professors of Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab about his deviation. And he was actually misled just as it had been anticipated. Zaini says:


وكان كثير من مشايخ ابن عبدالوهاب بالمدينة يقولون سيضل هذا أو يضل الله به من أبعده وأشقاه فكان الأمر كذلك


A significant number of the great scholars and professors of Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab used to say, in the city of Medina: He is going to be astray or Allah will mislead him and he will mislead the people who are far from blesses of Allah and recalcitrant and the same thing happened.

Age of Ummul Momineen Aisha at time of marriage with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Before looking at the original problem of age of Ummul Momineen Aisha let us clarify what really was the year in which Holy Prophet (PBUH) married Ummul Momineen Aisha so that it may be easier to conclude about what was the age of Ummul Momineen Aisha at the time of marriage with Holy Prophet (PBUH).
 

Muhammad Ibne Ismail Bukhari has narrated in Sahih Bukhari from Ummul Momineen Aisha herself that Holy Prophet (PBUH) married Ummul Momineen Aisha three years after the death of his first wife, Ummul Momineen Khadija:
I did not feel jealous of any woman as much as I did of Ummul Momineen Khadijah because Allah's Messenger used to mention her very often. He married me after three years of her death, and his Lord (or Gabriel) ordered him to give her the good news of having a palace of reed in Paradise.

Sahih al-Bukhari hadith #3817
