The answer

Firstly: The hadith was narrated by several narrators, including Hisham bin Ammar, Ibn Abi Al-Dunya, Abu Ya'la Al-Mawsili, Abu Bakr Al-Shafi'i, and Al-Qati'i. All of them narrated it from Muhammad bin Amr, from Yahya bin Abd al-Rahman bin Hatib, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Some scholars considered Muhammad bin Amr to be lenient (in his narration), but his hadith is hasan (good). Some scholars authenticated it, while others deemed it hasan.

Secondly: The Prophet's (peace be upon him) not reprimanding Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) indicates the permissibility of overlooking minor, transient matters in marital interactions, especially if the wife is young and inclined to amusement.
