**Again, from your same Sahih Bukhari Links:
Read and enjoy to see Aisha's true demeaning character:
YOUR MOTHER OF BELIEVERS, AISHA, REGULARLY JEALOUS OF THE PROPHET'S WIVES - GOOD ISLAMIC CHARACTER Volume 5, Book 58, Number 166:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija
though I did not see her, but the Prophet used to mention her very often, and when ever
he slaughtered a sheep, he would cut its parts and send them to the women friends of
Khadija. When I sometimes said to him, "(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there
is no woman on earth except Khadija," he would say, "Khadija was such-and-such, and
from her I had children."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 114:
PROPHET OF ALLAH GOING TO PRAY WITH SEMEN STAINS ON HIS CLOTHES - AISHA REVEALING IT ALL:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet and even then I used to notice
one or more spots on them.
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used
to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it (water spots were still visible).
PROPHET OF ALLAH HAVING WET DREAMS:
Volume 1, Book 5, Number 260:
Narrated Maimuna:
The Prophet took the bath of Janaba. (sexual relation or wet dream). He first cleaned
his private parts with his hand, and then rubbed it(that hand) on the wall (earth) and
washed it. Then he performed ablution like that for the prayer, and after the bath he
washed his feet.
AISHA SLEEPING IN BETWEEN THE PROPHET AND THE QIBLA DURING THE PROPHET'S PRAYERS - COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY:
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 379:
Narrated Abu Salama:
'Aisha the wife of the Prophet said, "I used to sleep in front of Allah's Apostle and my
legs were opposite his Qibla and in prostration he pushed my legs and I withdrew then
and when he stood, I stretched them.' 'Aisha added, "In those days the houses were
without lights."
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 380:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah Apostle prayed while I was lying like a dead body on his family bed between
him and his Qibla.
May Allah (swt) forgive me for having to post such filth from Sahih Bukhari and may Allah (swt) send his blessings on his holiest messenger (pbuh), and on his progeny.
Read your Sahihs and see how it degrades the prophet of Allah (swt)
Wa Salam**

The writer "A11shah" should have to reveal his/her own charachter before trying to creat fuss. If he/she is a Muslim then it would have been better to make an investigation about the authenticity of what is written in "Sahee'h Bukhari".
Of course I am going to answer his/her fussy message, taking it as my duty being a Muslim but first of all I would request him/her to be decisive as he/she tried to posed to be apologetic at the end of the message. What does it mean? As he/she mentioned it as "filth" then why to be worried about seeking Allah's forgiveness? If he/she is determined to call something "filth" should reject that stuff and declare it not acceptable for him/her.
Lets agree right here, that you are a either double-standared person or are in "higgledy-piggeldy" state of mind!!
Now here is what I have to say against all of your quotations:
AISHA'S JEALOUSY! Aisha, the wife of Mohammad (PBUH) naturally has the honour to be a "Sahabia" (a companion of the Holy Prophet). Quraan defines the virtues of the real believers (Momineen & mominat) and it is certified "Mohammad wallazeena ma'ahoo, ashdda'a lilkuffar wa rohoma'o bainahum" means: Mohammad and his companions are stern against non-believers and they are very kind towards one an other. At another place it is confirmed about committing "Sins" that the believers dont make mistakes to committ "kaba'yer" (big sins) however they may mistake for Sagha'yer (minor offences) When we see deep, and get the two forms of sin catagorized, we shall come to know that Back-biting/telling a lie is a not a minor mistake but a "kabeerah". Jealousy is such a big evil that in the last- -but -one Sura of the Quran, the believers are advised always to wish for Allah's shelter from the "jealousy of a jelous". That is our faith (Iman) that Aisha can not commit this (Kabeerah). Believing in such "stories" will certainly mean that Mohammad (PBUH) could not "produce" believers even inside his family. The whole claim of Mohammad's (PBUH) seems to be a failure. So to me its unbelieveable that our mother Aisha could have such behaviour.
Second important point to the embarressed writer is to talk about sexual affairs. Well, I have no idea what society the writer belongs to, however, in every society there are some taboos. In a muslim society , of course it is prohibited to talk about sexual points. Even then, every normal human being is concerned to perform sexual duties. Like all other walks of human life, there are some manners & ettiquates, some sort of hygenic care and some precautionery measures etc. that is a "must" for everyone to get the knowledge of sexual matters. Arabic is a very rich language, it is quite possible to discuss such "delicate" issue with carefully selected wording that will never cause any "fun-stuff" throught the talk. It can happen quite frequently that a translation lacks such substitutes in the other language to express a point in writing or speech. Just think for a while and we can watch within our society how difficult is to mention (when we have to) a woman's periods, intercourse, pregnency, abrotion etc. speaking our ocal languages like Punjabi, Sindhi, Pushto, Balochi or Urdu. Illetertes can even judge that just by the usage of English wording we can discuss the same matters comparatively with much ease. We experience it everyday. So lets assume that to know something is never bad, but the way and the time it is mentioned is important.
Now, as per your quotation, Aisha narrates.........! My counter question is narrates to whome? and what made her narrate? was she supposed to teach something to a fellow Mominah?
Whenver you pluck a portion from a book it that looks objectionable to you, the sole way to accept to reject the theme is to visualize the "context" of the point. So just bring something forward calling people to come and "enjoy" for such a thing is the height of stupidity.
The most important point for such writings/talks is that it should not be made public, in the way the writer has done. These ettiquates, principlals and care is a part of everday life e.g. the writer will never like to talk about his/her mother's or sister's sexual matters even he/she would be well aware of his/her their needs, performance or satisfaction. At the same time he/she can have to talk about all this if he/she is to discuss it with a doctor or a psychiatrist. In normal life it will remain a taboo even afterwards.
So once the purpose is to "know" or to investigate the rules or suggestions about the sexual performanaces or the pre / post matrimonial cares, DOs & DO NOTs etc. It is essential to have such literatures for the good of the coming generations. There is also a need to update the available information to preserve the facts and to reject the wrong beliefs.
Talking about "Wet dreaming of Prophet" is really a devilish approach. The object overthere is talk about the cleanliness and the writer is more interested to divert the attention towards what he called Wet Dreaming! I have the following points:
(1) Physically Mohammad (PBUH) was a normal human being. So narmally it happens to the males. What is this astonishment about?
(2) and when it happens it is suggested to clean the dress and the body parts. It is a matter of common sense that in hot climate areas, if someone washes a portion of his dress it is quite agreeable to wear it again even it is not completely dried. We should not forget about the fact also that we are talking about a society of centuries ago. The luxury of today should not be expected with the simplicity of that time. (I dont think even there was the concept of ironing the dress!).
The writer's attitude reminds me of a joke I heared at a Punjabi Comedy Stage Drama. There a funster tell that there is very MASOOM (innocent)woman lives in our locality. His co-artist objects, She ? what makes you call her innocent? I know she has 14 children and still she is Masoom!!
I dont know how writers controls his/her mind when he/she comes accross his/her own father or mother (must be mature enough to realize their relationship!)
About the incident of Aish'a being in between Mohammad (PBUH) and Qiblah while he was praying, the part where she mentions that "during those days there was no light in the house" says it all! She has certainly narrated about a mistake she did unintentionally. or it shows that Mohammad was so kind and tolerant that he managed to continue his prayers.......Thats what could be regarded as the purpose of saving this narration.
In the end I must declare that the Muslims are answerable only to what is available in our Holy Book. God through his Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) has given us only one BOOK ie. Quran. All the other books including Sahee'h Muslim or Bukhari are "man-made' attempts to preserve some sayings of Holy Prophet and some inceidents narrated by different companions of Holy Prophet. Some of them are true to the philosophy of Quran and some are not. Some are authentic and some are "poor" or weak" and even fabricated. The best way to be a confident Muslim is to say, "HASABNA KITAB ALLAH" (To us Allah's book is enough).
