Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
النَّبِيِّ the Prophet
This title is the owner-half of the 'wife of' pairing, so it sits in the genitive. It carries the 'the' marker and is what makes 'wife' specific; together the two nouns identify exactly whose wife is meant.
فَحَبَسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصُحْبَتِهِ،

النَّبِيِّ the Prophet
A definite noun 'the Prophet' in the 'of'-type ending set by the chain-preposition, marking the next source in the line. The 'the' identifies the specific figure the report ultimately goes back to.
كُنتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ،

النَّبِيِّ the Prophet
This noun carries al- ('the'), making it the one specific, well-known Prophet rather than just any prophet. Standing right after 'with', it takes the genitive ending that a preposition imposes, and it is the person the speaker says he was accompanying.
