The poisoning incident is probably one of the worst fabrications created by the Shi’as. In a nutshell these people use narrations like Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1427 to argue that A’isha (RA) and the other wives of the Prophet (SAW) poisoned him.

The problem with this argument is that the Prophet was already feeling ill, so his illness couldn’t have been caused by poisoning. Another really important point to state is that RasulAllah (SAW) ordered the people in his house (including A’isha RA) to consume the medicine,

so if this medicine (called al-Ladud and it was a popular remedy in Ethiopia for treating pleurisy) was poison, one can ask why did the poison only have the desired effect on the Prophet (SAW)?

Other important things that need to be addressed are things like why would A’isha (RA) even narrate this incident in the first place. If she, audhubillah, killed him, she would’ve never narrated this, or at least she wouldn’t narrate this incident in the first person.

And secondly, if she “hated” the Prophet (SAW), what prevented her from leaving him when the verses of Takhyir (Qur'an 33:28-29) were revealed?

It is interesting to point out that according to Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 3204, when the verses of Takhyr were revealed, Muhammad (SAW) went to A’isha (RA) to give her the choices of staying with him or divorcing him and she instantly replied that she wanted to stay with him.

So yeah, if she suffered “all those years of abuse with a sick perverted man”, why did she decided without hesitation to stay with Muhamamd (SAW) instead of leaving?

And finally we know that A’isha (RA) loved the Prophet (SAW) and that is apparent because she used to refer to Muhammad (SAW) in her narrations as “my beloved”. She even made it clear to her students that she loved the Prophet (SAW) and we have students

such as 'Urwa Ibn Az-Zubayr (RH) narrating that the most beloved people to A’isha (RA) were RasulAllah (SAW), the her father Abu Bakr (RA), then her nephew Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr (RA).
Sahih al-Bukhari 3505.

There are even narrations showing us that A’isha (RA) used to love Muhammad (SAW) so much to the point of jealousy.
Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1577-1578, Sahih Muslim 2815 and Sunan An-Nasa’i 3201/3199 on hadith websites.

And even missing him, when they were on the same journey (Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1587).

So if she, audhubillah, “suffered”, why would she be so open about the fact she loved RasulAllah (SAW) to the point of jealousy? If she indeed “suffered” as you claim, she would have narrate the opposite or at least she would have been silent about these matters.

Also Muhammad (SAW) loved her very much and A’isha (RA) knew that very well. That is why she even used to ask “and which of his wives was more beloved to him than me?”
Sahih al-Bukhari 3662, Sunan an-Nasa’i 3238/3236 on hadith websites.

Before I begin to enumerate some of A'isha's (RA) virtues, another brother made a wonderful thread on this topic and I recommend people check that thread out. https://twitter.com/El_Hunto/status/1289983907237167104?s=20

Now, let’s present some of A’isha’s (RA) virtues.

1. Here are the 9 blessings that distinguished her from all other women except Maryam bint Imran (AS), the mother of Isa (AS).
Great Women of Islam page 44, The Illustrious Women of Islam from the First Generation page 17-18.

2. Even RasulAllah (SAW) acknowledges her superiority over other women (Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1588). Which makes us wonder what man that puts his wife under “all those years of abuse” would praise her to this level?

3. A’isha (RA) had a noble lineage by being the daughter of Abu Bakr (RA) and Umm Ruman (RA).
Here is the lineage that she has through her father, Abu Bakr (RA), for those interested.
The Biography of Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq page 28.

4. A’isha (RA) was very knowledgeable in the fields of Hadith, Fiqh, Poetry and Medicine.
The Illustrious Women of Islam from the First Generation page 21-22, Great Women of Islam page 56

5. The verse of Tayammum were revealed because of her. Sahih al-Bukhari 336.

6. A’isha (RA) was kind and really generous, she also used to fast a lot.
Great women of Islam 46-47.

7. RasulAllah (SAW) passed away in her home (Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1583).

8. Muhammad (SAW), Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar (RA) were buried in her house.
Women around the Messenger page 66-67.

9. A’isha received glad tidings and promise of Paradise.
Sahih al-Bukhari 3771 and Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 3889.

10. A’isha (RA) was really humble and she didnt liked to be praised. She showed that even when she was close to death.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1391 and 4753.

In conclusion, A’isha bint Abi Bakr (RA) couldn’t have poisoned the Prophet (SAW). And as we can see she loved the Prophet (SAW) deeply and she believed in Islam and benefited the Ummah greatly with her knowledge and contributions.
