The answer

The 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.
