Is the story of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) killing a jinn with an iron rod, mentioned in the book "Siyar A'lam al-Nubala'," true or fabricated, and is the author of the book "Qalat Aisha," Salih Ahmad Rida, trustworthy?

Al-Dhahabi mentioned that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, killed a jinn, and it was said to her in a dream that she had killed a Muslim. So she spent twelve thousand dirhams in the way of Allah. The first narration is more authentic than the second, which Ibn Hazm weakened due to the presence of weak narrators in its chain. The jinn here refers to a type of snake.
