Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Do not harm me concerning Aisha"?

The hadith is authentic with the wording: "Do not hurt me concerning Aisha." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said this to the Mother of the Believers, Umm Salamah. The reason for this hadith is that people used to seek out the day of Aisha to present their gifts. So, the Mothers of the Believers desired good, just as Aisha desired it, and they asked Umm Salamah to request from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he command people to present their gifts to him wherever he might be. When Umm Salamah approached the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about this, he turned away from her the first two times. On the third occasion, he said: "Do not hurt me concerning Aisha."
