The answer

What is mentioned in some narrations about the Prophet's -peace and blessings be upon him- divorce of the daughter of Al-Jawn due to a stratagem by the Mother of Believers Aisha or other Mothers of Believers, such that she was told: "I seek refuge in Allah from you," is false and unsound. Ibn Hajar pointed out that the origin of this is in Al-Bukhari without mentioning the Mothers of Believers teaching her that, and this addition is false. Al-Albani stated that the chain of narration (sanad) in which this addition appears is weak, in fact fabricated, and that Al-Waqidi is accused of lying, and that Al-Bukhari narrated the hadith in an abridged form without mentioning Aisha and Hafsa or their teaching her.
