It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would abandon a certain act despite liking it, only because he feared that people might start practicing it and as a result, it would become obligatory upon them (and then they might not be able to do it). Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) preferred that there should be ease in the obligations upon people.
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray eleven rak'ahs after 'Isha, and when morning came, he would pray two short rak'ahs, then lie down on his right side until the muezzin would come and inform the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the prayer.
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the wife of Rifa’ah Qurzhi came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I and Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) were also present there. She said that Rifa’ah had given her an irrevocable divorce, after which Abdur Rahman bin Zubair married her. Then she held a corner of her sheet and said that he only has a corner like this. At that time, Khalid bin Sa’id bin As was present at the door of the house; he was not allowed to enter, so he said from outside, “Abu Bakr! Why do you not stop this woman from speaking in such an exaggerated manner before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?” However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only smiled and then said, “Perhaps you wish to return to Rifa’ah? But this cannot happen until you taste his honey and he tastes your honey.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began in the house of Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission from his pure wives to spend the days of his illness in my house, and all of them granted permission. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left from there supported by Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man (according to the narrator, he was Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) did not consider it necessary to mention his name). At that time, the blessed feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were dragging on the ground as he walked. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had already told Hazrat Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the house of Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) to tell the people to perform the prayer. Abdullah was returning when he met Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the way. He told Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Umar! Lead the people in prayer." So he began to lead the prayer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the voice of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he immediately recognized it because his voice was loud. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Is this not Umar's voice?" The people replied, "Yes, it is." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah and the believers do not accept this. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; he will not be able to control his tears, because whenever Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the Holy Qur'an, he would begin to weep." And I only said this so that people would not start saying about Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was the first man to stand in the place of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and thus become sinful. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When I repeated my request, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same command and said, "You are like the women who were infatuated with Yusuf (peace be upon him) (who concealed something in their hearts and expressed something else with their tongues)."
