Document A
Sahih Bukhari vol. 5, Book 58, Number 234 Narrated 'Aisha: The prophet engaged (Khitbah) me when I was a girl of six. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Harith Kharzraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage).
Liberate, a zealous hater of Islam, used Document A which contradicts Document E to dictate the timeline period of the Nikah for Documents B, C, & D.
Actually you're wrong,
The above quoted Hadith does not say khitbah in the original Arabic.
It reads as;
Yazawwajanee alnabbee wa anaa bintu sitta sineen
Therefore Document A does not contradict Document E, as document A says she became his wife (zawj) when she was six years old, and says nothing about their engagement.
