Ahmad bin Hanbal (Died 241 AH) narrates like this :
حدثنا عبد اللَّهِ حدثني أَبِي ثنا عبد الرَّزَّاقِ عن مَعْمَرٍ قال قال الزهري وأخبرني عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بن عبد اللَّهِ بن عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ قالت أَوَّلُ ما اشْتَكَي رسول اللَّهِ صلي الله عليه وسلم في بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ أَزْوَاجَهُ ان يُمَرَّضَ في بَيْتِهَا فَأَذِنَّ له قالت فَخَرَجَ ويدله علي الْفَضْلِ بن عَبَّاسٍ ويدله علي رَجُلٍ آخَرَ وهو يَخُطُّ بِرِجْلَيْهِ في الأَرْضِ قال عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ بن عَبَّاسٍ فقال أَتَدْرُونَ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ الآخَرُ الذي لم تُسَمِّ عَائِشَةُ هو عَلِيٌّ وَلَكِنَّ عَائِشَةَ لاَ تَطِيبُ له نَفْساً
Narrated by ‘Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin ‘Utbah that Aisha said : Prophet (ﷺ) first fell ill in the house of Maymoona. I got permission from his wives to pass the recovery in my home and they let him. Prophet (ﷺ) left while two men were holding his shoulders carrying him and Prophet’s legs were dragging on the ground due to the intensity of disease. Fadhl bin Abbas and another Man were holding his shoulders.
“Ubayd Allah” narrated that I said to “Abdullah bin Abbas” what “Aisha” had said, “Abdullah” said: Do you know the man whose name wasn’t told by “A’isha”?
I said: No I don’t,
He said: He was “Ali bin Abi Talib” But she is averse to name him in a good context.
It is also narrated by Abdur Razaq San’ani (Died 211 AH) with same chain and same wording.
As this narration clearly proves that Aisha had grudge against Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) as is evident from this sentence of Ibn Abbas :
عَائِشَةَ لاَ تَطِيبُ له نَفْساً
But she is averse to name him in a good context.
When this narration was later narrated by Muslim bin Hajaj (Died 261 AH) and Khateeb Al-Baghdadi (Died 463 AH) they both erased out this sentence from the narration although chain of narration is exactly same.
