Should not Aisha's action be considered a natural matter for which she is not held accountable, like a person who has been wronged and does not forget it until he dies?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is considered a natural matter that... or for which she is not held accountable.

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : ...some people do not forget until they die?

The Shaykh : Look, may Allah reward you, read the saying of Allah the Exalted at the end of Surat al-Baqarah:
Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear ربنا ولا تحملنا ما لا طاقة لنا به
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
A person may not be able to bear forgetting what happened from a person, but nevertheless, a person should train himself to forget matters so that the resentment in hearts is removed. However, women and their jealousy, and the status of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with Aisha is not a status as we imagine; it is a great status. In my opinion, and knowledge is with Allah, whoever tries to separate her from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is like one who tries to separate her right side from her left side, is that not so? Rather, it is perhaps more severe; perhaps it would be easier for her to be split in two than to part from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
