Aisha's puberty
From the article here: Criticism of Muhammad. Someone has written "She stayed in her parents' home till she had reached puberty at nine (according to Ibn Hisham) and then her marriage with Muhammad was consummated.[18][19]". The sources are: What I am not totally sure about here, is whether it is source 18 or source 19 which references Ibn Hashim. His name does not appear in either of the references so I am not sure. Furthermore, not owning either of these novels I am unable to find out for myself. Nor am I able to consult what Haddith they reference in making these statements. Also, according to Ibn Hashim, which part? Did Ibn say she was 9, or that she had reached puberty, or both assertions? This I cannot totally figure out, so I am looking to find out please.

Another Ibn Hisham was a grammarian
So I checked out the position indicated by the citation I removed. It turns out it's in a section on grammar. The passage, at the end of the section, goes:

"Grammar has come to the point of being allowed to disappear, along with the decrease in the other sciences and crafts which we have noted and which is the result of a decrease in civilization. At the present time, there has reached us in the Maghrib a systematic work (diwan) from Egypt attributed to the Egyptian scholar, Jamal-ad-din b. Hisham [emphasis by User:Arpose]."
