Allah praying update and Islamqa

Some disputed the accuracy of the translations by Aisha Bewley for Islamic hadith, since her translation has Muhammed wearing Aisha's dress to make prophecy, and below has Allah praying: 

1387. Abu Umama reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah and His angels and the people of the heavens and the earth, even the ants in their rocks and the fish, pray for blessings on those who teach people good.” [at-Tirmidhi]--(Aisha Bewley, Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous), Book of Knowledge, 241. Chapter: the excellence of knowledge

 This was pointed out by Sam Shamoun. Sam is generally hated by Muslims as an Islamophobe. However, it appears that Islamqa reposted the above passage with Bewley's translations!
