What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "My love for you is like a rope's knot, no one can untie it," narrated from the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her?

The hadith you are asking about, concerning how the Prophet loved Aisha and that his love was like a knot in a rope, was narrated by Tammām Ar-Rāzi, Abu Nuaym, and Abu At-Tahir As-Silafi, through chains of transmission from Uthman ibn Abdullah An-Nasibi, from Malik ibn Anas, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Aisha.

Ad-Daraqutni said about it: "This is false. Between Malik and our shaykh, all of them are weak, except for Ash-Shafii." An-Nasibi is accused of fabricating hadith, his narrations are abandoned, and he fabricates falsehoods.

A group of scholars who compiled fabricated hadiths have included it. What has been narrated by the two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) from Amr ibn Al-As, that he asked the Prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him: "Who among the people is most beloved to you?" He said: "Aisha." I said: "And among men?" He said: "Her father," suffices in its place.
