Because in aldol reaction , we have a acidic hydrogen in the aldehyde or ketone and we have a base a reagent, so there will be acid base reaction, which will be the fast reaction, and then the conjugate base of aldehyde or ketone will attack the other molecule of aldehyde or ketone to complete the reaction. Now we can see that during the whole reaction there is no possibility of hydrogen transfer in aldol condensation
