Summary
The hadith relates to the revelation of verses 50 and 51 of Surah al-Ahzab, when many women offered themselves to the Prophet. Marriage by self-offering without dowry, guardian and witnesses was specific to the Prophet alone. According to Imam al-Nawawi, Aisha's words mean that Allah granted the Prophet ease, latitude and choice in many matters. According to Imam al-Qurtubi, her remark arose from jealousy and a wish to be pampered and coaxed, so it must be understood properly without ill assumptions.
