Muhammad's life is traditionally defined into two epochs: pre-hijra (emigration) in Mecca, a city in northern Arabia, from the year 570 to 622, and post-hijra in Medina, from 622 until his death in 632. All but two of his marriages were contracted after the [migration to Medina].
He married 11 or 13 women depending upon the differing accounts of who his wives were. At the age of 25, Muhammad married Khadijah which lasted for 25 years. This marriage is described as "long" and "happy," and he relied upon Khadija in many ways.Muhammed did not enter into marriage with another woman during his marriage with Khadija. After her death, friends of Muhammad advised him to marry again, but he was reluctant to do so. It was suggested to Muhammad by Khawla bint Hakim, that he should marry Sawda bint Zama, a Muslim widow, or Aisha. Muhammad is said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry both. Later, Muhammad married additional wives, most of them widows, to make for a total of eleven, of whom nine or ten survived him. Scholars such as Watt and Esposito hold that most of the marriages aimed at strengthening political ties (according to the Arabian custom) or providing a livelihood to widows (it was hard for widows to remarry in a culture that emphasized virgin marriages).
The status of several of Muhammad's wives is disputed by scholars. Maria al-Qibtiyya may have been a slave, a freed slave, or a wife.[citation needed] Aisha was six or seven years old when betrothed to Muhammad. She stayed in her parents' home until the age of nine, when the marriage was consummated.
Only two of Muhammad's wives bore him children. Khadijah is said to have borne him four daughters and two sons, though only one daughter, Fatima and her children survived her father. Maria al-Qibtiyya bore him a son, but the child died when he was ten months old. Some say that his daughter Zainab, mother to a daughter called Amma or Umama, survived him as well.[citation needed] Shi'a Muslims dispute the number of Muhammad's children, stating that he had only one daughter, and that the other "daughters" were step-daughters.
Descendants of Muhammad are known as sharifs شريف (plural: ِأشراف Ashraaf) or sayyid.
In the Islamic prayer, Muslims end with the second tashahhud asking God to bless Muhammad and his descendants just as Abraham and his descendants were blessed.
Children of Khadijah:
Sons:
Abd-Allah ibn Muhammad
Qasim ibn Muhammad
Daughters:
Ruqayyah bint Muhammad
Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad
Zainab bint Muhammad
Fatima Zahra
Children of Maria:

Companions
Main articles: Sahaba and Salaf
The term Sahaba (companion) refers to anyone who meets three criteria: to be a contemporary of Muhammad, to have heard Muhammad speak on at least one occasion, and to be a convert to Islam. Companions are considered the ultimate sources for the oral traditions, or hadith, on which much of Muslim law and practice are based. The following are a few examples in alphabetic order:
Abdullah ibn Abbas
Abu Bakr
Abu Dharr
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Ammar
Bilal
Hamza
Khalid ibn al-Walid
Sa'd
Zayd
Salman the Persian
Talha
Umar
Uthman

Mary was only about 4 years older when she conceived Jesus, and married Joseph, who was also considerably older. Why was that ok, but Mohammad/Aisha not? EDIT: While my daughter was growing up, many of her friends achieved menses by age nine, also when I was that age, girls in my class had their periods and boobs. Unless you were there for either case, you can only speculate.

As far as I know Muhammad pbuh had only 2 boys and 1 girl from his first wife Hadijah.The 2 boys died before grown up and i do not know their names.The only one girl was named Fatimah.Fatimah got married with Ali bin Abithalib his cousin.Muhammad pbuh had the twin grandchildren from Fatimah and Ali.They were named Hasan and Husein.Hasan and Husein were killed in Iraq .They got married and they had children too.
Muhammad had no children from other wives because most of them were old widows except Aisha.But I do not know whether with Aishe Muhammad pbuh had children or not.
