Question:

How did Hazrat Ayisha (Radiya Allahu Anha) died and where is her grave?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Our beloved mother 'Aa'ishah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her died in the year 57 or 58 after Hijrah (Emigration). Her death was in Madeenah and she was buried in Al-Baqee' along with the other wives of the Prophet,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ). Ath-Thahabi  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him reported in his famous book Siyar A’laam An-Nubalaa’ that she said, "Bury me beside the wives of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention )." So, she was buried in Al-Baqee'.

Allaah Knows best.
