It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the wives of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered together and consulted with each other, and sent Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying to her: "Go and say to him that your wives demand justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) stated: I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was with Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), wrapped in her sheet. She went and said to him: "Your wives have sent me to you; they demand justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Do you love me?" Zuhri said: Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then love this Aisha as well." In another narration, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Daughter! Do you not like what I like?" Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "Why not?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then love her, that is, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), as well." Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) listened to his words and returned, and informed them of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) reply. All of them said: "You have done nothing? Go again to him (peace and blessings be upon him)." But Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "By Allah! I will not go to him (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter at all." Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) was truly the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). After this, the wives sent Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) (after preparing her). Among the pure wives, only she was a match for Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She went and said: "Your wives have sent me to your service; they demand justice and equality from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: As soon as she said this, she turned towards me and began to speak harshly to me directly. I began to wait for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and looked at his eyes to see if he (peace and blessings be upon him) would permit me to respond to her. But he (peace and blessings be upon him) said nothing. She reproached me so much that I became certain that now, if I retaliated, it would not be displeasing to him (peace and blessings be upon him). So I turned to her and soon overcame her. Seeing this situation, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "After all, she is the daughter of Abu Bakr." In another narration, the words are: Upon hearing my words, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "She is the daughter of Abu Bakr." Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Among the pure wives, I did not find anyone better, more charitable, more devoted to maintaining family ties, and more eager to seek nearness to Allah than Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her). She had only one flaw: she would become passionate and angry very quickly, but then she would soon let it go.

(Second chain of narration) It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I did not even realize until Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) came in, filled with anger, without permission, and she said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): I think that when the daughter of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gestures with her hands and wrists in front of you, you accept only what she says. After that, she turned towards me, and I kept listening to her words in silence; I did not give any reply. Until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself said to me: You should also say something and take your turn. So I turned towards her (i.e., responded in kind). I saw that her mouth became dry and she could not say anything to me. I saw that the face of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shining with happiness.

It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the wives of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me that, representing them, I should go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and say to him that he should command the people that wherever he may be, that is, whichever wife’s house he is at, people should send their gifts there. People used to wait for Sayyida Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) turn to send their gifts and presents. Just as Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) likes such things, we also like them. So I went and said: O Messenger of Allah! My companions, that is, your wives, have told me to speak to you about this matter, that you should command the people that wherever you may be, they should send their gifts to you there. People keep waiting for Sayyida Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) turn to send their gifts. We also like goodness just as Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) likes it. Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Upon hearing my words, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and did not reply to me. When my companions came to me, I told them that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything to me in response. They said: Do not leave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like this and speak to him again about this matter. What is the benefit of your remaining silent? Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: After that, I went again to meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and I repeated the same thing and said that my co-wives have told me to speak to you about this matter, that you should command the people that wherever you may be, that is, at whichever wife’s house, people should send their gifts there. Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) spoke to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter two or three times. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent each time. Finally, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Umm Salama! Do not hurt me regarding Aisha by saying such things. By Allah! The status and rank of Aisha is such that, except for her bed, revelation has never descended upon me in the bed of any other wife. Upon hearing this, Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I seek refuge with Allah from ever saying anything about Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that would hurt your heart.

One day Muhammad bin Qais said: Shall I not narrate to you a hadith from myself and my mother? We thought that he meant his real mother, then he said: Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Shall I not narrate to you an incident of myself and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: Yes, why not. Then she said: When it was my night and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with me, after ‘Isha he returned, placed his cloak, took off his shoes and put them at the foot of the bed, spread a part of his cloak on the bed and lay down. He (peace and blessings be upon him) lay for a while, (as I thought) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) thought that I had fallen asleep, he (peace and blessings be upon him) quietly picked up his cloak, gently put on his shoes, opened the door and went out and softly closed it. Meanwhile, I also arranged my scarf, put it on my head, wrapped myself in my cloak, put on my trousers and followed behind him. I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had reached the Baqi’ graveyard, stood there for a long time and raised his hands in supplication three times. Afterwards, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and I also started to return. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked quickly, so I also quickened my pace. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ran a little, I also started running. Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) increased his speed, I also increased mine and overtook him and reached home. I had just lain down when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived and said: Aisha! What is the matter, your breath is heavy, your stomach is heaving? I said: O Messenger of Allah! Nothing is the matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You yourself tell me, otherwise the All-Seeing and All-Knowing Lord will inform me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, then I narrated the whole incident to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The dark figure I saw before me, was that you? I said: Yes. Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck me on my back, which caused me pain, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you think that Allah and His Messenger would wrong you? Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: People may hide as much as they want, but Allah Almighty knows it anyway. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, the matter was that when you saw me, at that time Jibreel (peace be upon him) came and called me and kept his voice hidden from you, I also replied to him keeping my voice hidden from you. He could not come to you at that time because you had removed your clothes, and I thought you had fallen asleep and it was not appropriate to wake you, lest you be disturbed alone. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to me: Your Lord commands you to go to the people of Baqi’ and pray for their forgiveness (that is why I went). Then Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! How should I pray? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should say: "As-salamu ‘ala ahl ad-diyari min al-mu’minina wa’l-muslimin wa yarhamullahu al-mustaqdimina minna wa’l-musta’khirin, wa inna in sha’ Allahu la lahiqun." (Peace be upon the inhabitants of these dwellings, the believers and the Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have gone before us and those who come later, and indeed, if Allah wills, we shall join you.)

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I used to perform a (supererogatory) prayer during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Now, even if my father were to rise from his grave and come to forbid me from it, I would not abandon this prayer.

Imam Zuhri said: Sa'id bin Musayyib, 'Urwah bin Zubair, 'Alqamah bin Waqqas, and 'Ubaydullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ud narrated to me the incident of the wife of the Prophet, Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when the people of Ifk accused her and Allah Almighty revealed her exoneration. Zuhri said: All my teachers narrated a part of this hadith; some of them remembered and narrated the incident better than others. From each of these teachers, I memorized what they narrated, and some of their narrations confirmed others. These gentlemen narrated that the wife of the Prophet, the Mother of the Believers, Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey, he would draw lots among his wives, and the one whose name was drawn, he would take her with him on the journey. He was about to go on a campaign, so he drew lots among us. My name was drawn, so I set out on the journey with the Messenger of Allah. This incident happened after the revelation of the command of hijab. I used to be in a howdah. During the journey, I would be made to dismount and mounted in the same way. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the campaign and set out to return, and we approached Madinah, he ordered departure at night after a stopover. When the people announced departure, I got up and went a little away from the army to relieve myself. When I finished and came near my mount, I touched my chest and realized that my necklace made of shells from the region of Dhafar in Yemen had broken and fallen somewhere. I went back to look for the necklace. I was delayed in searching for the necklace. The people assigned to carry my howdah came and lifted it onto the camel on which I used to travel and ride. They thought I was inside the howdah. In those days, women were light and not heavy with flesh; they ate little. When they lifted the howdah onto the camel, they did not notice any difference in weight. I was also young at that time. They set the camel off and moved on. After the army had departed, I found the necklace. I came to the place where the army had been, but there was no one to call or answer. So I went to the place where I had been staying. I was sure that when they did not find me in the howdah, they would come looking for me. While I was sitting there, sleep overcame me and I fell asleep. Safwan bin Mu'attal al-Sulami al-Dhakwani, who had stayed behind the army, came at the end of the night after resting. In the morning, he reached the place where I was. He saw the figure of a sleeping person. When he came near, he recognized me as soon as he saw me, because he had seen me before the command of hijab was revealed. As soon as he recognized me, he exclaimed loudly, "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un" as an expression of distress. His voice woke me up. I quickly covered my face with my cloak. By Allah, he did not say a single word to me, nor did I hear anything from him except "Inna lillahi." He made his camel kneel and placed his foot on its foreleg so it would not stand up. I mounted it. He led the camel, and we continued until we reached the army at midday, when they had stopped to rest. That was all that happened, but those who were to be destroyed by talking about me were destroyed. Their leader was 'Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul. When we reached Madinah, I fell ill for a month, and people continued to gossip under the influence of the people of Ifk. I was unaware of any of this. The only thing I noticed was that when I used to fall ill before, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would show me much attention, but this time I did not feel the same attention. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would come, greet me, and only ask, "How are you?" This made me somewhat suspicious, but I had no idea of the turmoil that had occurred. I had become very weak, and one day I went out. Umm Mistah (may Allah be pleased with her) accompanied me towards Manasi', which was our place for relieving ourselves. We used to go out only at night for this purpose. This was before toilets were built near the houses. Our practice regarding relieving ourselves was the same as the earlier Arabs; we disliked building toilets near our homes. Umm Mistah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin al-Muttalib bin 'Abd Manaf, and her mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin 'Amir and the maternal aunt of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). Her son was Mistah bin Athathah bin 'Ubad bin al-Muttalib. After relieving ourselves, I and Umm Mistah bint Abi Ruhm were returning to my house when Umm Mistah tripped over her cloak and fell, and said, "Mistah is ruined!" I said to her, "You have said a very bad thing. You are speaking ill of a man who participated in Badr." She said, "Oh! Have you not heard what he has said?" I asked, "What has he said?" Then she told me the whole story of the people of Ifk. Hearing this, my illness increased. I came home, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, greeted me, and asked, "How are you?" I said, "Do you permit me to go to my parents?" I wanted to confirm these things from my parents. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allowed me to go to my parents. I went to my parents and said, "Mother! What are these people saying?" She said, "Daughter! Be patient. By Allah, whenever a woman is beautiful and her husband loves her, and she has co-wives, they make up many things about her." Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said, "Subhan Allah! Have people started saying such things?" She said: I cried all night until morning. My tears did not stop, nor did sleep come to my eyes. I kept crying until morning. For a long time, no revelation came down, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them). He wanted to consult them about divorcing his wife. Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed, according to his knowledge, the innocence of the wife of the Prophet, but 'Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Allah has not put any restriction on you. There are many other women besides her. If you ask the slave-girl, she will tell you the truth." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, "O Barirah! Have you ever seen anything in 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that you disliked?" Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "By Him Who sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything in her that I could mention. The most is that she is a young girl, sometimes she is heedless of the dough and the goat comes and eats it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and addressed the people about 'Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul, saying, "O Muslims! Who will excuse me regarding this man whose harm has reached my household? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family. The accusers have mentioned a man about whom I know nothing but good. He never entered my house except with me." Hearing this, Sa'd bin Mu'adh al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I excuse you regarding this matter. If he is from the tribe of Aws, we will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers, the tribe of Khazraj, command us and we will obey you." Hearing this, Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, who was a righteous man but was overcome by tribal zeal, and said to Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), "By Allah, you will not kill him, nor will you be able to kill him." Hearing this, Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him), the cousin of Sa'd bin Mu'adh, stood up and said to Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, "You are wrong. By Allah, we will surely kill such a man. You are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites." The tribes of Aws and Khazraj got involved with each other, to the point that they were ready to fight. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit, calming them down until they became quiet, and he too became quiet. I kept crying that day as well; my tears did not stop, nor did sleep come. I cried the next night as well; neither did my tears stop nor did sleep come. My parents were convinced that my crying would break my heart. I was crying, and my parents were sitting with me. In this state, an Ansari woman asked permission to come to me. I allowed her, and she sat and cried with me. We were in this state when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, greeted us, and sat down. Since these rumors had spread about me, he had not sat with me. A month had passed, and no revelation had come to him about me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat and delivered a sermon, then said, "As for what follows, 'Aisha! Such and such has reached me about you. If you are innocent, Allah will declare your innocence. But if you have committed a sin, seek forgiveness from Allah and repent, for when a servant confesses his sin and repents, Allah accepts his repentance." Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his speech, my tears stopped, and I did not feel a single drop in my eyes. I said to my father, "Reply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on my behalf." He said, "By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then I said to my mother, "Reply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on my behalf." She said, "By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was a young girl at that time and had not read much of the Qur'an. I said, "By Allah, I know that these things have settled in your hearts and you have begun to believe them. If I say I am innocent, and Allah knows I am innocent, you will not believe me. And if I admit to something, while Allah knows I am innocent, you will believe me. By Allah! I find for myself and you the example of the father of Yusuf (peace be upon him), as he said: {فَصَبْرٌ جَمِیلٌ وَاللّٰہُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰی مَا تَصِفُونَ} ... So patience is best, and Allah is the One whose help is sought against what you describe. (Surah Yusuf: 18)" Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: After saying this, I turned my face and lay down on my bed. By Allah, I knew I was innocent of this accusation, and Allah would declare my innocence. But by Allah, I did not think that any revelation would be sent down about me that would be recited. I considered myself too insignificant for Allah to reveal something about me that would be recited. I only hoped that Allah would show the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a dream in which my innocence would be declared. Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not yet left his place nor gone out of the house when Allah revealed to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the revelation. He began to sweat as he would during revelation, until drops of sweat like pearls would fall from him even on a cold day due to the intensity of the revelation. Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When this state of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ended, he was smiling. The first thing he said was, "Aisha! Rejoice, for Allah has declared your innocence." My mother said to me, "Get up and go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." I said, "By Allah, I will not get up and go to him." In another narration, it is said: "Nor will I praise the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) nor you two (my parents), for you did not deny or try to change these things when you heard them. I will only praise Allah, Who has revealed my innocence." So Allah revealed: {إِنَّ الَّذِینَ جَائُ وْا بِالْإِفْکِ عُصْبَۃٌ مِنْکُمْ} ten verses. Allah revealed these verses as a declaration of my innocence. Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) used to provide for Mistah (may Allah be pleased with him) due to kinship and his poverty. He said, "By Allah, now that he has accused 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), I will never provide for him again." So Allah revealed: {وَلَا یَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْکُمْ وَالسَّعَۃِ إِلٰی قَوْلِہِ اَ لَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ یَغْفِرَ اللّٰہُ لَکُمْ وَاللّٰہُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ } ... And let not those among you who are blessed with grace and wealth swear not to give to their relatives, the needy, and those who migrated in the way of Allah. Rather, let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah al-Nur: 22)" After this, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, I want Allah to forgive me." So he resumed providing for Mistah (may Allah be pleased with him) as he used to before, and said, "I will never stop it again." Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also asked his wife, the Mother of the Believers, Lady Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), about me: "What do you know about her? How did you find her? What has reached you about her?" She said, "O Messenger of Allah! I protect my ears and eyes. By Allah, I know nothing but good about her." Lady 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Among the wives of the Prophet, she was the only one who could compete with me, but Allah protected her from saying anything bad because of her piety. However, her sister Hamnah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) jumped into the fray for her sister's sake and was destroyed along with those who were destroyed. Ibn Shihab Zuhri said: This is what we have learned about these people.

(Umm al-Mu’minin) Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated a hadith similar to the previous one. However, Ibn Shihab Zuhri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order to depart one night, so upon hearing this announcement, I got up. Likewise, Zuhri narrated regarding the necklace that it was made from the pearls of the place called Dhafar. He also used the word "yuhabblna," meaning the women were not of heavy build. Similarly, he said "fayammamtu manzili" (I headed towards my place). Imam Zuhri also narrated that Urwah said: I was informed that these things were being spread, and in the presence of Abdullah bin Ubayy, these things were said and he would confirm them, listen attentively, and gossip, meaning he would go and tell others as well. Urwah also said that among those who accused Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) were Hassaan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), Mistah bin Athatha, Hamnah bint Jahsh, and some other people whose names I do not know. I only know that they were a group, as Allah Almighty has called them "usbah," meaning a group. The one who took the most interest in this matter was Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul, and he greatly fueled this matter. Urwah also narrated that Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) did not like that anything be said to her regarding Hassaan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). She used to say that Hassaan (may Allah be pleased with him) was the one who, out of devotion and love for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "For indeed, my father, his father, and my honor are all a shield for the honor of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) from your arrows and stings." Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also said that in those days, our way of relieving ourselves was like that of the Arabs. Likewise, Zuhri in this chain said "laha darair" (she had co-wives), whereas in the previous narration it was "walahu darair." Similarly, the words of Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) are narrated as: "By the One who knows the innocence of your family," and the words of Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) are: "The goat comes and eats the dough," and these words are also in the previous narration. In this chain, the words of Sa’d bin Mu’adh Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) are: "Even though he is from our brothers, the Khazraj," while in the previous narration it is "min al-Khazraj." The meaning is the same. In this chain, it is "fa-qama rajul min al-Khazraj," while in the previous narration it is "fa-qama Sa’d bin Ubadah." Both refer to the same person. In this chain, regarding Hassaan’s mother, it is stated: "wa kanat umm Hassaan bint ammihi min fakhidhihi," meaning Hassaan’s mother was his paternal cousin and from his own clan. This sentence is not in the previous narration. In this chain, it is: {وھو سعد بن عبادۃ وھو سید الخزرج قالت وکان قبل ذلک رجلا صالحًا ولکن احتملۃ الحمیۃ} while in the previous narration, the words are: {فقام سعد بن عبادۃ وکان رجلاً صالحًا ولکن اجتھلتہ الحمیتہ} Also, in this chain, Zuhri said: {قلص دمعی} and in the previous narration, it is the same. Zuhri said in this chain: {وطفقت اختھا حمنۃ تجارب لھا} and in the previous narration: {وطفقت اختھا حمنۃ بنت جحش تجارب لھا} Urwah narrated that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "By Allah! The man about whom whatever was said, he said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, I have never lifted the garment of any woman." Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that he, meaning Safwan bin Mu’attal (may Allah be pleased with him), after this incident, was honored with martyrdom in the path of Allah.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the declaration of my innocence was revealed from Allah Almighty, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on the pulpit, mentioned this matter, recited the revealed verse of the Qur'an, and after descending from the pulpit, he ordered the punishment of slander to be carried out on two men and one woman.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she borrowed a necklace from Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), but it was lost. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent some people to search for it. They found it, but the time for prayer came upon them while they had no water. So they performed the prayer without ablution and complained about this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Allah Almighty revealed the concession of tayammum. Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): May Allah reward you with goodness. Whenever any matter arises with you which you dislike, Allah makes it a source of goodness and blessing for you and for the Muslims.

The wife of the Prophet, Mother of the Believers, Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we were returning from a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached a place a few miles from Madinah Munawwarah at the time of suhoor, where there was no sign of water, my necklace slipped from my neck and fell. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had to stop to search for it until dawn broke, and no one had any water. Allah knows best how much scolding I received from my father on that occasion. He also said that in every journey, because of you, the Muslims have to face difficulty and hardship. The Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that at that moment, Allah revealed the concession of tayammum. And the people performed tayammum and offered prayer. When this concession from Allah came for the Muslims, my father said: Daughter! By Allah! I did not know that you were so blessed. Because of the Muslims being stopped here in search of your necklace, what blessing and ease Allah has placed for them!
