Is the story of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) finding the needle by the light of the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) face authentic, is it permissible to cite it in describing him, and should the female friends to whom the clip was sent be alerted?

There is no authentic from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that mentions Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, seeing a needle that she had lost due to the light of his noble face. All narrations transmitted with this meaning have unsound chains of transmission, and some have been described as "fabricated lies" due to the presence of unknown or unreliable narrators. Caution must be exercised against spreading these weak and fabricated hadiths.
