Question

My wife just wants to know in most Ahaadith why is Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's wife Aisha Radhiyallahu Anha mentioned all the time and not the other beloved wives of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? Was Aisha Radhiyallahu Anha most beloved and favoured by Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?

Answer

Your wife is misinformed. In fact there are innumerable Ahaadith that also speak about the other Azwaaj-e-Mutaharaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
