We have even in Sunni books that the age of Khadijah (AS) when she got married with the Prophet (SAWA) was 25 years. (AL-BIDAYAH WAL-NIHAYAH by Ibn Katheer , Volume 2, page 295.  Al-Bayhaqi (Dala'il Al-NUBOWWAH) 2/ 71).

Other Sunni books narrated that her age was 28 years (Tabaqaat ibn Sa'd 8/ 17 and Al-Mustadrak by Al-Haakim al-Nisabori 3 : 182).
