What is your opinion regarding the report of 'Aishah found in the hadith about interrupting prayer ("Have you made us like donkeys")?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The point of disagreement between the report of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), in which she said:
Have you made us like donkeys أجعلتمونا مع الحمر
, and the second hadith:
A donkey, a black dog, and a menstruating woman interrupt the prayer of a man يقطع صلاة الرجل الحمار والكلب الأسود والمرأة الحائض
. What is the point of disagreement between these?

The Shaykh : There are not two hadiths here, may Allah bless you; because you know that when the term "hadith" is used in a general sense, it refers to the hadith of the Messenger (peace be upon him), is that not so? Here, there are not two hadiths; rather, there is only one hadith, because what is here is the hadith of the Messenger and the words of 'Aishah. If the hadith of the Messenger contradicts the words of 'Aishah, it is not appropriate to establish a disagreement between her Prophet and herself, is that clear? I mean, she was offended by this matter because she had not heard the hadith that says:
A woman and a donkey interrupt the prayer of any one of you يقطع صلاة أحدكم المرأة والحمار
. She had not heard that from the Messenger, so doubt entered her, and she said: "Have you made us like donkeys?" Her statement holds no weight against the statement of her Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The hadith of the Prophet is given precedence over her words, and we do not call it her hadith, so that the matter is not confused. Yes.
