That's because you only got the stuff they want you to know.
Don't suppose they discussed muhammed's marriage to aisha either?

"There were two important changes of direction within the history of islamic law; one was the introduction at an early date of legal theory which not only ignored but denied the existence in it of all elements that were not in the narrowest possible sense Islamic, and which reduced it's material sources to the Koran and the example of the Prophet."

"Muhammad is known as uswa hasana, al-Insān al-Kāmil, par excellence.[1]
It is an Arabic phrase loosely translated, meaning, the 'perfect human'. The Sunni Islamic scholar Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki, has also published a Sirah on Muhammad as al-Insān al-Kāmil.
The Sufis also regard Muhammad as the Perfect Saint, or Universal Man.[2]
Al-Jili was also the author of a Persian text entitled al-Insān al-Kāmil."
