Ayesha divorced before Marriage to Holy Prophet (asws) as per Imam of Ahlu Sunnah?

Let us see a narration in this regard from Imam of Ahlu Sunnah, Ibn abi Malika. We find in Tabaqat Ibn Sa’ad, 8/59
‘
أخبرنا عبد الله بن نمير عن الأجلح عن عبد الله بن أبي ملكية قال خطب رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق فقال إني كنت أعطيتها مطعما لابنه جبير فدعني حتى أسلها منهم فاستسلها منهم فطلقها فتزوجها رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم

Abdullah bin Nameer >>> al Ajlah >>> Abdullah bin Abi Malika says    
When Holy Prophet (asws) proposed to Abu Bakar regarding Ayesha, He said that I have given her to Muta’m son of Jubair, so He told them and He divorced her, and then married her to Holy Prophet (asws)
‘
Abdullah bin Nameer is Trustworthy, and Ibn Hajar wrote about him in Taqreeb-ut-Tehzeeb, 1/327
3668- عبد الله ابن نمير بنون مصغر الهمداني أبو هشام الكوفي ثقة صاحب حديث من أهل السنة من كبار التاسعة مات سنة تسع وتسعين [ومائة] وله أربع وثمانون ع
Abdullah bin Nameer……..Trustworthy
‘
There have been some criticism about al-Ajlah, However, Ibn Hajar said in Taqreeb, 1/96 that He is truthful
285- أجلح ابن عبد الله ابن حجية بالمهملة والجيم مصغر يكنى أبا حجية الكندي يقال اسمه يحيى صدوق شيعي من السابعة مات سنة خمس وأربعين بخ 4
Ajlah bin Abdullah……..Truthful Shia
‘
And Dhabi wrote in his book, Dhikar Isma Man Takallam fihi wa who Mauthiq ao Salih-ul-Hadeeth (Mentioning of Names of Those having criticism but they are trustworthy or Good in Hadeeth), p. 34; that he is Sudooq(truthful)  and Ibn Moin termed Him Thiqa/trustworthy
13 – أجلح بن عبد الله أبو حجية الكندي الكوفي (على) :
شيعي مشهور صدوق روى عن الشعبي وثقه ابن معين
Ajlah bin Abdullah, he is famous Shia Truthful, narrated from sho’bi, and Ibn Moin said he is Trustworthy

Why did Allah declare Ayesha as Ummul Momineen

Since there is no contradiction in the Holy Quran, it is necessary to examine the verse that declares the wives as Ummul Momineen (Surah Ahzab (33): Verse 6) in the light of other verses.
We do not have to look far as the answer lies in Surah Ahzab itself in Verse 53:
‘…nor is it right for you that you should annoy Allah’s Messenger, or that you should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in Allah’s sight an enormity.’
(Surah Ahzab (33): Verse 53)
So Ayesha and other wives were Ummul Momineen (mother of believing men) only so that Muslims would not marry them after the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.a.) demise.
More than being an honour for the wives, the status of Ummul Momineen actually accords respect and honour to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) since his widows are off-limits for Muslims, while he (s.a.w.a.) was free to marry their women and widows.
To interpret this in any other way is to lower the position of the one (s.a.w.a.) Allah has raised and to raise the position of the one Allah has lowered.
All claims that the wives are Ummul Momineen due to their personal virtues, piety, worship, etc. are pure conjecture and have no basis in the Quran.
