What is the explanation of the Hadith: "Abu Bakr came asking permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he heard Aisha raising her voice at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So, he was given permission and entered. He said: 'O daughter of Umm Ruman' - and he reached out for her - 'are you raising your voice at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?' The narrator said: 'Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) intervened between him and her.' The narrator said: 'When Abu Bakr left, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began to say to her, trying to appease her: (Don't you see that I have intervened between the man and you?)' The narrator said: 'Then Abu Bakr came again, asking permission to enter upon him, and he found him laughing with her.' The narrator said: 'So, he was given permission and entered.' Abu Bakr said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, include me in your peace as you included me in your war'"? And what are its benefits? And why did the Messenger not scold Aisha when she raised her voice at him, but rather defended her?
The Hadith narrates the story of Abu Bakr when he entered upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and heard Aisha's voice raised. He intended to strike her for raising her voice at the Prophet, but the Prophet restrained him.
Days later, he found them reconciled, so he asked to be included in their peace as he had been included in their conflict. The Prophet said: "We have done so."
The Hadith indicates Abu Bakr's disapproval of Aisha raising her voice, out of veneration for the Prophet. This action by Aisha was motivated by jealousy, not by diminishing the Prophet's status. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, met this jealousy with overlooking and good companionship, in compliance with the words of Allah Almighty: ﴿And live with them in kindness.﴾
Furthermore, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not get angry for himself unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated. His wives, may Allah be pleased with them, chose Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter when he gave them a choice between this world and the Hereafter.
