Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not treat Hafsa and Aisha equally in his speech during his journey?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : It is not obligatory for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to be just between Hafsa and Aisha, because he did not treat them equally. He would confide in Aisha, and Hafsa would be with him every night.

Answer : If he opens up to one person and not to another, despite the obligation of justice, that is a matter that a person does not control. One is not able to control it. For example, you might sit with one person and open up to him, while you do not open up to another, even if you love him. That is something from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
