    خَطَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ خُطُوطٍ فَقَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ وَخَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ»

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew four lines on the ground and said, "Do you know what this is?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best women of the people of Paradise are Maryam bt. Imran, Asiyah bt. Muzahim, Khadijah bt. Khuwaylid, and Fatimah bt. Muhammad ﷺ."

    سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَطْلُبُ الشَّهَادَةَ لِلْحَدِيثِ فَلَمْ أُرْزَقْهَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ يَقُولُ وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَهُ «إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ فَفَعَلْتُ» قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِنَّ اللهَ بَنَى جَنَّةً مِنْ لُؤْلُؤَةِ قَصَبٍ بَيْنَ كُلِّ قَصَبَةٍ إِلَى قَصَبَةٍ لُؤْلُؤَةٌ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ مُشَذَّرَةٍ بِالذَّهَبِ وَجَعَلَ سُقُوفَهَا زَبَرْجَدًا أَخْضَرَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا طَاقَاتٍ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ مُكَلَّلَةً بِالْيَاقُوتِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ عَلَيْهَا غُرَفًا لَبِنَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ دُرٍّ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ وَلَبِنَةٌ مِنْ زَبَرْجَدٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ فِيهَا عُيُونًا تَنْبُعُ فِي نَوَاحِيهَا وَحُفَّتْ بِالْأَنْهَارِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَى الْأَنْهَارِ قِبَابًا مِنْ دُرٍّ قَدْ شُعِبَّتْ بِسَلَاسِلِ الذَّهَبِ وَحُفَّتْ بِأَنْوَاعِ الشَّجَرِ وَبَنَى فِي كُلِّ غُصْنٍ قُبَّةً وَجَعَلَ فِي كُلِّ قُبَّةٍ أَرِيكَةً مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَاءَ غِشَاؤُهَا السُّنْدُسُ وَالْإِسْتَبْرَقُ وَفُرِشَ أَرْضُهَا بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ وفُتِقَ بِالْمِسْكِ وَالْعَنْبَرِ وَجَعَلَ فِي كُلِّ قُبَّةٍ حَوْرَاءَ وَالْقُبَّةُ لَهَا مِائَةُ بَابٍ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ حَارِسَانِ وَشَجَرَتَانِ فِي كُلِّ قُبَّةٍ مَفْرَشٌ وَكِتَابٌ مَكْتُوبٌ حَوْلَ الْقِبَابِ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ قُلْتُ «يَا جِبْرِيلُ لِمَنْ بَنَى اللهُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ بَنَاهَا لِفَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتِكَ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سِوَى جِنَانِهَا تُحْفَةٌ أَتْحَفَهَا وَأَقَرَّ عَيْنَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ

    ✧ I will tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I have kept seeking martyrdom for that hadith but have not been granted it. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the expedition of Tabuk saying, while we were traveling with him, "Allah commanded me to marry Fatimah to Ali, so I did." Jibril ﷺ said, "Allah built a garden of hollow pearl, between each hollow and the next a pearl of ruby studded with gold, and made its roofs green chrysolite, and placed in it arches of pearl crowned with ruby. Then He placed over it chambers, a brick of silver, a brick of gold, a brick of pearl, a brick of ruby, and a brick of chrysolite. Then He placed in it springs flowing in its corners, and it was bordered with rivers, and He placed over the rivers domes of pearl linked with chains of gold, and it was bordered with various trees, and He built in every branch a dome, and placed in every dome a couch of white pearl whose covering is fine silk and brocade, and its ground was spread with saffron and perfumed with musk and ambergris, and He placed in every dome a houri. The dome has one hundred doors, at each door two guardians and two trees, in every dome a spread, and around the domes was written the Verse of the Throne." I said, "O Jibril, for whom has Allah built this garden?" He said, "He built it for Fatimah, your daughter, and Ali b. Abi Talib, besides her other gardens, as a gift He bestowed and to delight your eyes, O Messenger of Allah."

    ✧ Abu Bakr came to the Prophet ﷺ and sat before him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, you know my sincerity and my precedence in Islam, and I, and I..." He said, "And what is that?" He said, "Marry Fatimah to me." He was silent about it, or he turned away from him. Abu Bakr returned to Umar and said, "I am ruined and have ruined you." He said, "And what is that?" He said, "I proposed Fatimah to the Prophet ﷺ and he turned away from me." He said, "Stay where you are until I go to the Prophet ﷺ and seek the like of what you sought." Umar came to the Prophet ﷺ and sat before him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, you know my sincerity and my precedence in Islam, and I, and I..." He said, "And what is that?" He said, "Marry Fatimah to me." He turned away from him. Umar returned to Abu Bakr and said, "He is awaiting Allah's command concerning her. Come with us to Ali so that we may order him to seek the like of what we sought." Ali said, "They came to me while I was on a path. They said, 'Your cousin's daughter is being proposed to.' They alerted me to a matter, so I got up dragging my cloak, one end on my shoulder and the other on the ground, until I came to the Prophet ﷺ and sat before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you know my precedence in Islam and my sincerity, and I, and I...' He said, 'And what is that, O Ali?' I said, 'Marry Fatimah to me.' He said, 'What do you have?' I said, 'My horse and my body armor.' He said, 'As for your horse, you cannot do without it. As for your armor, sell it.' So I sold it for four hundred and eighty, and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and placed it in his lap. He took a handful from it and said, 'O Bilal, buy us perfume with it and order them to prepare her.' He made for her a bed carved with straps and a leather cushion stuffed with palm fiber, and filled the house with a heap, meaning sand. He said, 'When she comes to you, do not do anything until I come to you.' She came with Umm Ayman and sat on one side of the house while I was on the other side. The Prophet ﷺ came and said, 'Here is my brother.' Umm Ayman said, 'Your brother whom you have married to your daughter.' The Prophet ﷺ entered and said to Fatimah, 'Bring me water.' She went to a bowl in the house, put water in it, and brought it to him. He rinsed his mouth into it. Then he said to her, 'Stand up,' and he sprinkled between her breasts and on her head. Then he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge for her and her descendants with You from the accursed Satan.' Then he said to her, 'Turn around,' so she turned around, and he sprinkled between her shoulders. Then he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge for her and her descendants with You from the accursed Satan.' Then he said, 'Bring me water.' I did what he wanted: I filled the bowl with water and brought it to him. He took some with his mouth, then spat it into it, then poured it on my head and before me. Then he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge for him and his descendants with You from the accursed Satan.' Then he said, 'Enter upon your family with the name of Allah and blessing.'

    جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَكَ شَيْئًا تُطْرِفِينِيهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا جَارِيَةُ هَاتِي تِلْكَ الْجَرِيدَةَ فَطَلَبْتُهَا فَلَمْ تَجِدْهَا فَقَالَتْ وَيْحَكَ اطْلُبِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ عِنْدِي حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَطَلَبَتْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ قَمَّتْهَا فِي قِمَامَتِهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ «لَيْسَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْمَنْ جَارَهُ بَوَائِقَهُ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخَرِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ وَاللهُ يُحِبُّ الْحَيِيَّ الْحَلِيمَ الضَّعِيفَ الْمُتَعَفِّفَ وَيُبْغِضُ الْفَاحِشَ الْبَذِيءَ السَّائِلَ الْمُلْحِفَ إِنَّ الْحَيَاءَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الْفُحْشَ مِنَ الْبَذَاءِ وَالْبَذَاءُ فِي النَّارِ»

    ✧ A man came to Fatimah bt. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O daughter of the Messenger of Allah, did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leave anything with you that you might give me as a gift?" She said, "O servant girl, bring that palm-stalk." She looked for it and did not find it. She said, "Woe to you, look for it, for it is equal to me to al-Hasan and al-Husayn." She looked for it, and it turned out she had used it as a broom in her sweeping. In it was written: Muhammad ﷺ said, "He is not a believer whose neighbor is not safe from his harm. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not harm his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. Allah loves the modest, the forbearing, the weak, the chaste, and He hates the obscene, the vulgar, the begging importunate. Modesty is part of faith and faith is in Paradise. Obscenity is part of vulgarity and vulgarity is in the Fire."

    يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَقْسَامِ النُّعْمَانِ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَطَاعَ لَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ بِالرُّكُوبِ قَالَ أَمَا إِذْ أَقْسَمْتَ فَقَدْ كَلَّفْتَنِي مَا أَكْرَهُ فَارْكَبْ عَلَى صَدْرِ دَابَّتِكَ فَسَأُرْدِفُكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ تَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ دَابَّتِهِ وَصَدْرِ فِرَاشِهِ وَالصَّلَاةِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ إِلَّا إِمَامًا يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَ النُّعْمَانُ صَدَقَتْ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي بَشِيرًا يَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ َ «إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ فَرَكِبَ حُسَيْنٌ عَلَى السَّرْجِ وَرِدْفُهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ»

    ✧ O Abdullah, he disliked that. That remained among the oaths of al-Nu'man upon him until al-Husayn obeyed him concerning riding. He said, "Since you have sworn, you have burdened me with what I dislike. Ride on the front of your mount and I will ride behind you, for I heard Fatimah bt. Muhammad ﷺ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A man is more entitled to the front of his mount and the front of his bed, and to pray in his own home, except an imam who gathers the people to him.'" Al-Nu'man said, "The daughter of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah has spoken truly. I heard my father Bashir say as Fatimah said, and the Messenger of Allah said, 'except one who gives permission.' So Husayn rode on the saddle and the Ansari rode behind him."

    لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ قَدْ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي فَبَكَتْ» فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لُحُوقًا لَاحِقًا بِي» فَضَحِكْتُ فَرَآهَا بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَأَيْتُكَ بَكَيْتَ وَضَحَكْتَ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي «نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي» فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ «لَا تَبْكِي فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لَاحِقًا بِي» فَضَحِكْتُ

    ✧ When 'When the victory of Allah and the conquest comes' was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Fatimah and said, "My soul has been announced to me as departing," so she wept. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Do not weep, for you are the first of my family to join me." So I laughed. Some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ saw her and said to her, "I saw you weep and laugh." She said, "He said to me, 'My soul has been announced to me,' so I wept. Then he said, 'Do not weep, for you are the first of my family to join me,' so I laughed."

    عَائِشَةُ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي فَأَتَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ تَمْشِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عَائِشَةَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّ مِشْيَتَهَا مِشْيَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَارَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَكَتْ ثُمَّ سَارَّهَا فَضَحِكَتْ فَقُلْتُ مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ ضَحِكًا أَقْرَبَ مِنْ بُكَاءٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا فَاطِمَةُ أَخْبِرِينِي مَا قَالَ لَكِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا كُنْتُ أَفْعَلُ وَقَدْ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَانَكِ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يُعَارِضُنِي بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً وَقَدْ عَارَضَنِي بِهِ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا أُرَانِي إِلَّا مَدْعُوًّا بِهِ فَأَجِيبُ فَاتَّقِي اللهَ» قَالَتْ فَجَزِعْتُ ثُمَّ سَارَّنِي فَقَالَ «أَمَا تَرْضَيْنَ أَنَّ زَوْجَكِ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِسْلَامًا وَأَعْلَمُهُمْ عِلْمًا؟ فَإِنَّكِ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أُمَّتِي كَمَا سَادَتْ مَرْيَمُ نِسَاءَ قَوْمِهَا»

    ✧ A’ishah said: “The Messenger of God ﷺ fell ill in my house. Fatimah came walking to him—and by the One in Whose hand is A’ishah’s soul, her walk was just like the walk of the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ whispered something to her and she wept; then he whispered to her and she laughed. I said: ‘I have never seen laughter closer to weeping than this day.’ I said: ‘O Fatimah, tell me what he said to you.’ She said: ‘I would not do that, and the Messenger of God ﷺ has seen your place.’ When the Messenger of God ﷺ died, she asked her and she said: ‘The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Gabriel used to review the Qur’an with me once every year, but this year he reviewed it with me twice, and I think I am only being called by it, so I will answer. Fear God.”’ She said: ‘So I grieved.’ Then he whispered to me and said: ‘Are you not pleased that your husband is the first of the Muslims in Islam and the most knowledgeable of them in knowledge?

    ✧ A’ishah used to say: “In the illness in which the Messenger of God ﷺ was taken, he said to Fatimah: ‘O my little daughter, lean over me.’ So she leaned over him and he whispered to her for a while. Then she uncovered and she was weeping while A’ishah was present. Then after a while the Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Lean over me, O my little daughter.’ So she leaned over him and he whispered to her for a while. Then she uncovered from him and laughed. A’ishah said: ‘I said: O my little daughter, tell me what your father whispered to you.’ Fatimah said: ‘He whispered to me in a state of secret, and you thought that I would disclose his secret while he is alive. That distressed A’ishah that there should be a secret kept from her. When God took him, A’ishah said to Fatimah: ‘O my little daughter, will you not tell me that report?’ She said: ‘As for now, yes. He whispered to me the first time and told me that Gabriel ﷺ used to review the Qur’an with him once every year, and that he reviewed the Qur’an with him twice this year. He told me that he told him that no prophet lived except half the lifespan of the one before him, and that he told me that ‘Isa son of Maryam lived one hundred and twenty years, and I think I will only depart at the head of sixty. That made me weep. And he said: “O my little daughter, among the women of the Muslims there is no woman with a greater affliction than you, so do not be less than a woman in patience.” And he whispered to me the second time and told me that I am the first of his family to join him, and he said: “You are the mistress of the women of the people of Paradise except what there is of the virgin Maryam daughter of ‘Imran.” So I laughed at that.’”

I said: “I have never seen joy closer to grief than this day.” I asked her about what he said, and she said: “I would not divulge the secret of the Messenger of God ﷺ.” Until when he was taken, I asked her and she said: “He whispered to me and said: ‘Gabriel used to review the Qur’an with me once every year, and this year he reviewed it with me twice, so I do not think it is except that my term has come, and you are the first of my household to join me, and what an excellent predecessor I am for you.’ So I wept at that.

Then Abu al-As b. al-Rabi caught up with her in Madinah, and he sent word to her: “Obtain a guarantee of safety from your father.” So she put her head out from the door of her room while the Messenger of God ﷺ was leading the people in the dawn prayer, and she said, “O people, I am Zaynab, and I have granted protection to Abu al-As.” When the Messenger of God ﷺ finished the prayer, he said, “I did not know of this until I heard it just now. The lowest of the Muslims may grant protection.”

    أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ هَاجَرَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَزَوْجُهَا كَافِرٌ فَأَسَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ فَأَجَازَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جِوَارَهَا وَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ»

    ✧ Zaynab emigrated to the Messenger of God ﷺ while her husband was a disbeliever. Then the Muslims captured Abu al-As b. al-Rabi, and Zaynab said, “I have granted protection to Abu al-As.” The Prophet ﷺ upheld her protection and said, “The lowest of the Muslims may grant protection.”

    كَانَ فِي الْأُسَارَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ، خَتَنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، زَوْجُ ابْنَتِهِ زَيْنَبَ. وَكَانَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ مِنْ رِجَالِ مَكَّةَ الْمَعْدُودِينَ مَالًا وَأَمَانَةً، وَكَانَ لهالةَ بِنْتِ خُوَيْلِدٍ، وَكَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ خَالَتَهُ، فَسَأَلَتْ خَدِيجَةُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ زَيْنَبَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُخَالِفُهَا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَتْ تَعُدُّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ وَلَدِهَا. فَلَمَّا أَكْرَمَ اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ بِالنُّبُوَّةِ، وَآمَنَتْ بِهِ خَدِيجَةُ وَبَنَاتُهُ، وَصَدَّقْنَهُ، وَشَهِدْنَ أَنَّ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ، وَدِنَّ بِدِينِهِ، وَثَبَتَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ عَلَى شِرْكِهِ. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ زَوَّجَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي لَهَبٍ إِحْدَى بِنْتَيْهِ رُقَيَّةَ أَوْ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ، فَلَمَّا بَادَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُرَيْشًا بِأَمْرِ اللهِ وَبَادَوْهُ، قَالُوا: إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ فَرَّغْتُمْ مُحَمَّدًا مِنْ هَمِّهِ، فَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ بَنَاتِهِ فَاشْغَلُوهُ بِهِنَّ. فَمَشَوْا إِلَى أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، فَقَالُوا: فَارِقْ صَاحِبَتَكَ، وَنَحْنُ نُزَوِّجُكَ أَيَّ امْرَأَةٍ شِئْتَ. فَقَالَ: لَا هَا اللهِ إِذًا لَا أُفَارِقُ صَاحِبَتِي، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِامْرَأَتِي امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ. فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ فِي صِهْرِهِ خَيْرًا فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي. فَمَشَوْا إِلَى الْفَاسِقِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ، فَقَالُوا: طَلِّقِ امْرَأَتَكَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَنَحْنُ نُنْكِحُكَ أَيَّ امْرَأَةٍ شِئْتَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ. فَقَالَ: إِنْ زَوَّجْتُمُونِي بِنْتَ أَبَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَوْ بِنْتَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَارَقْتُهَا. فَزَوَّجُوهُ بِنْتَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ، فَفَارَقَهَا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَدُوُّ اللهِ دَخَلَ بِهَا، فَأَخْرَجَهَا اللهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ كَرَامَةً لَهَا وَهَوَانًا لَهُ، وَخَلَفَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَهُ. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُحِلُّ بِمَكَّةَ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُ مَغْلُوبًا عَلَى أَمْرِهِ، وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَدْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَسْلَمَتْ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، إِلَّا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يُفِرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَأَقَامَتْ مَعَهُ عَلَى إِسْلَامِهَا وَهُوَ عَلَى شِرْكِهِ، حَتَّى هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَهِيَ مُقِيمَةٌ مَعَهُ بِمَكَّةَ. فَلَمَّا سَارَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى بَدْرٍ، سَارَ فِيهِمْ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، فَأُصِيبَ فِي الْأُسَارَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا بَعَثَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فِي فِدَاءِ أُسَرائِهِمْ، بَعَثَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي فِدَاءِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، وَبَعَثَتْ فِيهِ بِقِلَادَةٍ لَهَا كَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ قَدْ أَدْخَلَتْهَا فِيهَا عَلَى أَبِي الْعَاصِ حِينَ بَنَى عَلَيْهَا. فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَقَّ لَهَا رِقَّةً شَدِيدَةً، فَقَالَ: «إِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنْ تُطْلِقُوا لَهَا أَسِيرَهَا وَتَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهَا مَالَهَا فَافْعَلُوا». فَقَالُوا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَأَطْلَقُوهُ وَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهَا الَّذِي لَهَا. قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَدَهُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ سَبِيلَ زَيْنَبَ إِلَيْهِ، إِذْ كَانَ فِيمَا شَرَطَ عَلَيْهِ فِي إِطْلَاقِهِ، وَلَمْ يَظْهَرْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ وَلَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَعْلَمُ، إِلَّا إِنَّهُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَخَلَا سَبِيلُهُ، بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَرَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَكَانَهُ، وَقَالَ: «كُونَا بِبَطْحِ يَأْجِجَ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ بِكُمَا زَيْنَبُ فَتَصْحَبَانِهَا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَانِي بِهَا». فَخَرَجَا مَكَانَهُمَا، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ بَدْرٍ بِشَهْرٍ أَوْ شَيْعِهِ. فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ مَكَّةَ، أَمَرَهَا بِاللُّحُوقِ بِأَبِيهَا، فَخَرَجَتْ جَهْرَةً. قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ: حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَتَجَهَّزُ بِمَكَّةَ لِلُّحُوقِ بِأَبِي، لَقِيَتْنِي هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا ابْنَةَ عَمِّي، إِنْ كَانَ لَكِ حَاجَةٌ بِمَتَاعٍ مِمَّا يُرْفَقُ بِكِ فِي سَفَرِكِ، أَوْ مَالٍ تَبْلُغِينَ بِهِ إِلَى أَبِيكِ، فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي حَاجَتَكِ، فَلَا تَضْطَنِي مِنِّي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَ الرِّجَالِ. قَالَتْ: وَوَاللهِ مَا أُرَاهَا قَالَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا لِتَفْعَلَ، وَلَكِنْ خِفْتُهَا، فَأَنْكَرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أُرِيدُ ذَلِكَ. فَتَجَهَّزْتُ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ جَهَازِي، قَدَّمَ لِي حَمْوِي كِنَانَةُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، أَخُو زَوْجِي، بَعِيرًا، فَرَكِبْتُهُ، وَأَخَذَ قَوْسَهُ وَكِنَانَتَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِهَا نَهَارًا يَقُودُ بِهَا وَهِيَ فِي هَوْدَجِهَا. وَتَحَدَّثَتْ بِذَلِكَ رِجَالُ قُرَيْشٍ، فَخَرَجُوا فِي طَلَبِهَا حَتَّى أَدْرَكُوهَا بِذِي طُوًى، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا هَبَّارُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قُصَيٍّ، وَنَافِعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِقِينَةِ بَنِي أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ الَّذِي بِإِفْرِيقِيَّةَ. فَرَوَّعَهَا هَبَّارُ بِالرُّمْحِ وَهِيَ فِي هَوْدَجِهَا، وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ حَامِلًا فِيمَا يَزْعُمُونَ، فَلَمَّا رِيعَتْ أَلْقَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا. فَنَزَلَ حَمْوُهَا وَنَثَرَ كِنَانَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا يَدْنُو مِنِّي رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَضَعْتُ فِيهِ سَهْمًا. فَتَكَرْكَرَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ، وَأَتَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فِي جُلَّةِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ، كَفَّ عَنَّا نَبْلَكَ حَتَّى نُكَلِّمَكَ. فَكَفَّ، وَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصِبْ؛ خَرَجْتَ بِامْرَأَةٍ عَلَى رُءُوسِ النَّاسِ عَلَانِيَةً، وَقَدْ عَرَفْتَ مُصِيبَتَنَا وَنَكْبَتَنَا، وَمَا قَدْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَيَظُنُّ النَّاسُ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ إِلَيْهِ ابْنَتُهُ عَلَانِيَةً مِنْ ظَهْرَانَيْنَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ ذُلٍّ أَصَابَنَا عَنْ مُصِيبَتِنَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ، وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا ضِعْفٌ وَوَهَنٌ، وَأَنَّهُ لَعَمْرِي مَا لَنَا فِي حَبِسِهَا عَنْ أَبِيهَا حَاجَةٌ، وَلَكِنْ أَرْجِعِ الْمَرْأَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا هَدَأَ الصَّوْتُ، وَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنَا قَدْ رَدَدْنَاهَا، فَسُلَّهَا سِرًّا وَأَلْحِقْهَا بِأَبِيهَا. قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ، وَأَقَامَتْ لَيَالِيَ، حَتَّى إِذَا هَدَأَ النَّاسُ، خَرَجَ بِهَا لَيْلًا حَتَّى أَسْلَمَهَا إِلَى زَيْدِ بنِ حَارِثَةَ وَصَاحِبِهِ، فَقَدِمَا بِهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. وَأَقَامَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بِمَكَّةَ، وَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَدْ فَرَّقَ الْإِسْلَامُ بَيْنَهُمَا، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ قُبَيلَ الْفَتْحِ، خَرَجَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ تَاجِرًا إِلَى الشَّامِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مَأْمُونًا بِمَالٍ لَهُ وَأَمْوَالٍ لِرِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبْضَعُوهَا مَعَهُ. فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ تِجَارَتِهِ، أَقْبَلَ قَافِلًا، فَلَقِيَتْهُ سَرِيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَصَابُوا مَا مَعَهُ، وَأَعْجَزَهُمْ هَارِبًا. فَلَمَّا قَدِمَتِ السَّرِيَّةُ بِمَا أَصَابُوا مِنْ مَالِهِ، أَقْبَلَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ تَحْتَ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَاسْتَجَارَ بِهَا، فَأَجَارَتْهُ، وَجَاءَ فِي طَلَبِ مَالِهِ. فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ، كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ، فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ، خَرَجَتْ زَيْنَبُ مِنْ صُفَّةِ النِّسَاءِ، وَقَالَتْ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي أَجَرْتُ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ. فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَسَمِعْتُمْ». قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا عَمِلْتُ بِشَيْءٍ كَانَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ». ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا بُنَيَّةُ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ وَلَا يَخْلُصْ إِلَيْكِ فَإِنَّكِ لَا تَحَلِّينَ لَهُ». قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إِلَى السَّرِيَّةِ الَّذِينَ أَصَابُوا مَالَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ: «أَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مِنَّا حَيْثُ قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ، وَقَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ لَهُ مَالًا، فَإِنْ تُحْسِنُوا وَتَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ الَّذِي لَهُ فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَهُوَ فَيْءُ اللهِ الَّذِي أَفَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَنْتُمُ أَحَقُّ بِهِ». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بَلْ نَرُدَّهُ. فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَأْتِي بِالْحَبْلِ، وَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ بِالشَّنَّةِ وَبِالْإِدْوَاةِ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَأْتِي بِالشَّظَاظِ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ بِأَسْرِهِ، لَا يَفْقِدُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، احْتَمَلَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَرَدَّ إِلَى كُلِّ ذِي مَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مَالَهُ مِمَّنْ كَانَ أَبْضَعَ مَعَهُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، هَلْ بَقِيَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ عِنْدِي مَالٌ لَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ؟ قَالُوا: لَا، وَجَزَاكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا، فَقَدْ وَجَدْنَاكَ لَعَفِيفًا كَرِيمًا. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَاللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا تَخَوُّفًا أَنْ تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ آكُلَ أَمْوَالَكُمْ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا أَدَّاهَا اللهُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَفَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا أَسْلَمْتُ. وَخَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ.

    ✧ Among the captives on the day of Badr was Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi ibn Abd al-Uzza ibn Abd Shams, the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the husband of his daughter Zaynab. Abu al-As was one of the notable men of Mecca in wealth and trustworthiness. He belonged to Halah bint Khuwaylid, and Khadijah was his maternal aunt. Khadijah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to marry Zaynab to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not oppose her; that was before revelation came down upon him. She regarded him as being in the place of her own child. When Allah honored His Prophet with prophethood, Khadijah and his daughters believed in him, affirmed him, bore witness that what he had brought was the truth, and followed his religion, while Abu al-As remained firm upon his polytheism. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had married Utbah ibn Abi Lahab to one of his two daughters, Ruqayyah or Umm Kulthum. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ openly confronted Quraysh with the command of Allah and they openly opposed him, they said: You have relieved Muhammad of his concern, so return his daughters to him and occupy him with them. They went to Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi and said: Separate from your wife, and we will marry you to any woman you wish. He said: No, by Allah, then I will not separate from my wife, and I would not love to have, in place of my wife, any woman of Quraysh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to praise him favorably regarding his relation by marriage, as it has reached me. They then went to the wicked Utbah ibn Abi Lahab and said: Divorce your wife, the daughter of Muhammad, and we will marry you to any woman of Quraysh you wish. He said: If you marry me to the daughter of Aban ibn Said ibn al-As, or the daughter of Said ibn al-As, I will separate from her. So they married him to the daughter of Said ibn al-As, and he separated from her, though the enemy of Allah had not consummated the marriage with her. Allah removed her from his hand as an honor for her and a humiliation for him, and Uthman ibn Affan married her after him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while in Mecca, was not able to declare lawful or unlawful, being overcome in his affair. Islam had already separated Zaynab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when she became Muslim, from Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi, except that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not able to separate them. So she remained with him upon her Islam while he remained upon his polytheism, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ migrated to Medina, while she was still living with him in Mecca. When Quraysh marched to Badr, Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi marched among them, and he was taken among the captives on the day of Badr, and he was in Medina with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Ishaq said: Yahya ibn Abbad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr narrated to me, from his father Abbad ibn Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, from Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: When the people of Mecca sent for the ransom of their captives, Zaynab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, sent ransom for Abu al-As, and with it she sent a necklace of hers which Khadijah had given to her when she was brought in to Abu al-As at the time he consummated the marriage with her. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he felt intense tenderness for her, and said: "If you think it proper to release her captive for her and return her property to her, then do so." They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So they released him and returned to her what belonged to her. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taken from him and made him promise that he would clear the way for Zaynab to come to him, as this was among the conditions he imposed upon him for his release. That was not made public by him nor by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that it would be known. But when Abu al-As left for Mecca and his way was clear, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Zayd ibn Harithah and a man of the Ansar immediately, and said: "Be at the valley of Yajij until Zaynab passes by you, then accompany her until you bring her to me." So they went out to their place, and that was a month after Badr, or thereabouts. When Abu al-As arrived in Mecca, he ordered her to join her father, and she went out openly. Ibn Ishaq said: Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm said: I was told from Zaynab that she said: While I was preparing in Mecca to join my father, Hind bint Utbah met me and said: O daughter of my uncle, if you need any goods that would help you on your journey, or money by which you may reach your father, then I have what you need, so do not hold back from me, for what enters between men does not enter between women. She said: By Allah, I do not think she said that except intending to do it, but I feared her, so I denied that I intended such a thing. Then I prepared myself. When I finished my preparations, my brother-in-law Kinanah ibn al-Rabi, my husband’s brother, brought me a camel, so I mounted it. He took his bow and his quiver, then went out with her by day, leading her while she was in her howdah. The men of Quraysh spoke of that, so they went out in pursuit of her until they caught up with her at Dhu Tuwa. The first to reach her was Habbar ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Muttalib ibn Asad ibn Abd al-Uzza ibn Qusayy, and Nafi ibn Abd al-Qays al-Zuhri at Qaynah of Banu Abi Ubaydah ibn Utbah ibn Nafi, the one in Ifriqiyyah. Habbar frightened her with the spear while she was in her howdah, and the woman was pregnant, as they claim; when she was terrified, she miscarried what was in her womb. Her brother-in-law dismounted and scattered his quiver, then said: By Allah, no man will come near me but that I will put an arrow into him. So the people drew back from him. Abu Sufyan came among the chiefs of Quraysh and said: O man, hold back your arrows from us so that we may speak to you. So he held back, and Abu Sufyan approached and addressed him, saying: You have not acted correctly. You went out with a woman openly before the people, while you know our calamity and disaster, and what has come upon us from Muhammad. If his daughter goes out to him openly from among us, the people will think that this is due to humiliation that befell us because of our calamity that occurred, and that it is weakness and feebleness on our part. By my life, we have no need to detain her from her father, but return the woman until the talk dies down and the people say that we have turned her back; then take her out secretly and send her to her father. He said: So he did so, and she stayed for several nights until, when the people had quieted down, he took her out at night until he handed her over to Zayd ibn Harithah and his companion, and they brought her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu al-As remained in Mecca, while Zaynab was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; Islam had separated the two of them. Then, shortly before the conquest, Abu al-As went out as a merchant to Syria. He was a trustworthy man, carrying property of his own and property belonging to men of Quraysh who had entrusted merchandise to him. When he finished his trade, he returned with the caravan, and a detachment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met him. They captured what was with him, while he escaped them in flight. When the detachment arrived with what they had captured of his property, Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi came under cover of night until he entered upon Zaynab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and sought her protection, so she granted him protection; he had come seeking his property. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out for the morning prayer, as Yazid ibn Ruman narrated to me, he pronounced the takbir and the people pronounced the takbir. Zaynab came out from the women’s section and said: O people, I have granted protection to Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave salams from the prayer, he turned to the people and said: "O people, did you hear?" They said: Yes. He said: "Indeed, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I knew nothing of anything that had happened until I heard it; and indeed the least of the Muslims may grant protection on behalf of them." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed until he entered upon his daughter and said: "O my little daughter, honor his lodging, but do not let him have access to you, for you are not lawful for him." Ibn Ishaq said: Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to the detachment who had seized the property of Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi: "This man is one of us, as you know, and you have seized property belonging to him. If you do good and return to him what is his, then we would love that; but if you refuse, then it is the fay of Allah which He has granted you, and you have the greater right to it." They said: O Messenger of Allah, rather, we will return it. So they returned his property to him, until a man would bring a rope, another man would bring an old waterskin and a small waterskin, and one of them would even bring a pack peg, until, when they had returned all of his property to him and he was missing nothing from it, he carried it to Mecca. He returned to every owner of property among Quraysh his property, from those who had entrusted merchandise to him. Then he said: O assembly of Quraysh, is there any property of yours still with me that he has not taken? They said: No, and may Allah reward you with good, for we have found you to be chaste and noble. He said: Then I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. By Allah, nothing prevented me from accepting Islam with him except fear that you would think I only wanted to consume your wealth. But now that Allah has delivered it to you and I am free of it, I have accepted Islam. Then he set out until he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

    ✧ On the authority of A’ishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that when the Messenger of God ﷺ came to Madinah, his daughter Zaynab left Makkah with Kinanah or the son of Kinanah. They went out after her, and Habbar b. al-Aswad caught up with her and kept thrusting her camel with his spear until he threw her down, and she miscarried what was in her womb and bled. She was carried away, and the Banu Hashim and the Banu Umayyah disputed over her. The Banu Umayyah said, “We have more right to her,” because she was married to their son Abu al-As. She was with Hind bt. Utbah b. Rabiah, and Hind kept saying to her, “This is because of your father.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said to Zayd b. Harithah, “Will you not go and bring Zaynab?” He said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.” He said, “Take my ring and give it to her.” So Zayd set out, and he kept acting gently until he met a shepherd. He said, “For whom are you herding?” He said, “For Abu al-As.” He said, “Whose sheep are these?” He said, “For Zaynab bt. Muhammad.” He walked with him for a while, then said, “Would you like me to give you something that you will give to her and not mention it to anyone?” He said, “Yes.” So he gave him the ring, and the shepherd went off and brought his sheep in and gave her the ring. She recognized it and said, “Who gave you this?” He said, “A man.” She said, “Where did you leave him?” He said, “At such-and-such a place.” She remained silent until nightfall, then she went out to him. When she came to him, he said to her, “Mount in front of me on my camel.” She said, “No, but you mount in front of me.” So he mounted and she mounted behind him until she arrived. The Messenger of God ﷺ used to say, “She is the best of my daughters; she suffered because of me.” This reached Ali b. Husayn, so he went to Urwah and said, “What is this hadith that has reached me from you, that you narrate it diminishing the right of Fatimah?” Urwah said, “By God, I would not like to have everything between the east and the west if I were to diminish a right that belongs to Fatimah. But after this, I will never narrate it again.”

We said, “O Messenger of God, we saw you troubled and sad, and we could not speak to you, and then we saw you relieved. What was that?” He said, “I was remembering the narrowness of the grave and its distress and the weakness of Zaynab, and that was hard for me, so I called upon God to lighten it for her, and He did. She was squeezed with a squeeze that was heard by all between the two horizons except jinn and humans.”

I had not seen in Paradise a tree more beautiful than it, nor whiter leaves, nor better fruit. I took a fruit from its fruit and ate it, and it became a drop in my loins. When I descended to earth, I had intercourse with Khadijah, and she conceived Fatimah. So when I long for the scent of Paradise, I smell the fragrance of Fatimah.

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to her one day and said, "Where are my sons?" referring to Hasan and Husayn. She replied, "We woke up and there is nothing in our house that they can taste." Ali said, "I will take them, for I fear that they will cry for you and you have nothing with you." So he went to a certain Jew, and the Prophet ﷺ followed him and found them playing with some dates in front of them. He said, "O Ali, won't you turn my sons over before the heat becomes intense for them?" Ali replied, "We woke up and there is nothing in our house. If you sit, O Prophet of Allah, until I gather some dates for Fatimah." So the Prophet ﷺ sat until some dates were gathered for Fatimah, and he put them in a piece of cloth. Then he turned to carry one of them, while I carried the other, until we turned them over.

    ✧ Utaybah b. Abi Lahab married Umm Kulthum bint Rasul Allah ﷺ but did not consummate the marriage until the Prophet ﷺ was sent. Ruqayyah was with his brother Utbah b. Abi Lahab. When Allah ﷻ sent down {Perish the hands of Abu Lahab}, Abu Lahab said to his two sons Utaybah and Utbah, 'My head is forbidden from your heads if you do not divorce the two daughters of Muhammad.' Their mother, bint Harb b. Umayyah, who is the carrier of firewood, said, 'Divorce them, my sons, for they have become dear to him.' So they divorced them. When Utaybah divorced Umm Kulthum, he came to the Prophet ﷺ after parting from Umm Kulthum and said, 'I disbelieve in your religion and I have parted from your daughter. You do not love me and I do not love you.' Then he attacked him and tore the shirt of the Prophet ﷺ while he was leaving for Syria as a merchant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, I ask Allah to set His dog upon you.' He went out in a trading party of Quraysh until they stopped at a place in Syria called al-Zarqa at night. A lion surrounded them that night, and Utaybah began to say, 'Woe to my mother! By Allah, it will eat me just as Muhammad prayed against me. Ibn Abi Kabshah made me weep while he is in Makkah and I am in Syria.' The lion came at him from among the people, seized his head, and crushed him with a bite, killing him. Zuhayr b. al-Ala said: Hisham b. Urwah narrated to us from his father that when the lion surrounded them that night, they went away and slept, and Utaybah was placed in their midst. The lion came stepping over until it seized Utaybah's head and crushed him. Uthman b. Affan, may Allah have mercy on him, succeeded after Ruqayyah to Umm Kulthum, ؓ.

    ✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ emigrated, he left us and left his daughters behind. When he settled in Madinah, he sent Zayd b. Harithah and with him Abu Rafi', his freedman, and gave them two camels and five hundred dirhams which he took from Abu Bakr, with which they were to buy what they needed of riding animals. Abu Bakr sent with them Abdullah b. Urayqit al-Du'ali with two or three camels, and he wrote to Abdullah b. Abi Bakr to transport his family: the mother of Abu Bakr, Umm Ruman, myself, my brother, and Asma', the wife of al-Zubayr. They set out together until they reached Qudayd. Zayd b. Harithah bought three camels with those five hundred dirhams, then they all entered Makkah and found Talhah b. Ubayd Allah intending to emigrate. We all set out together, and Zayd and Abu Rafi' departed with Fatimah, Umm Kulthum, and Sawdah bt. Zam'ah. Zayd carried Umm Ayman and her children Ayman and Usamah. They accompanied us until when we were at al-Bayda' of Namir, my camel bolted while I was in a litter with my mother in it. My mother began saying, "Oh my daughter! Oh my bride!" until our camel was caught, and it had descended from the mountain pass, the pass of Harsha, and Allah granted safety. Then we arrived in Madinah, and I alighted with the family of Abu Bakr. The Prophet ﷺ came down to me, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at that time was building the mosque and some houses around the mosque, and he lodged his family in them. We stayed in them for some days. Then Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, what prevents you from consummating marriage with your wife?" He said, "The bridal gift." So Abu Bakr gave him twelve uqiyah and a nashsh, and he sent it to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consummated the marriage with me in this house of mine in which I am now, which is the one in which he died and was buried. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought Sawdah bt. Zam'ah with him into one of those houses, and he used to stay with her. The Prophet ﷺ had married me while I was playing with the girls, and I was not told that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had married me until my mother took me and confined me in the house. Then it occurred to me that I had been married, but I did not ask her until she herself told me.

    ✧ That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. Her father desired to marry her to him. She prepared food and drink and invited her father and a group from Quraysh. They ate and drank until they became intoxicated. Then Khadijah said to her father: "Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah has proposed to me; arise and marry me to him." So he married her to him. She perfumed him and dressed him in a fine garment, for such was their practice with fathers when they gave their daughters in marriage. When the intoxication left him, he looked and saw himself perfumed and wearing a fine garment. He said: "What is the matter with me?" She said: "You married me to Muhammad." He said: "I married you to the orphan of Abu Talib? No, by my life!" Khadijah said: "Are you not ashamed? You want to make a fool of yourself, informing Quraysh and the people that you were drunk." She kept at him until he consented.

    عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ خَدِيجَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْأَمُ مِنْ ثَنَاءٍ عَلَيْهَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهَا فَذَكَرَهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَاحْتَمَلَتْنِي الْغَيْرَةُ إِلَى أَنْ قُلْتُ قَدْ عَوَّضَكَ اللهُ مِنْ كَبِيرَةِ السِّنِّ قَالَتْ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا سَقَطَ فِي جِلْدِي فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنِّي غَضَبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهَا بِسُوءٍ مَا بَقِيتُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي قَدْ لَقِيتُ قَالَ «كَيْفَ قُلْتِ؟ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ آمَنَتْ بِي إِذْ كَفَرَ بِيَ النَّاسُ وَصَدَّقَتْنِي إِذْ كَذَّبَنِي النَّاسُ وَرُزِقَتْ مِنِّي الْوَلَدَ إِذْ حُرِمْتِيهِ مِنِّي» فَغَدَا بِهَا عَلَيَّ وَرَاحَ شَهْرًا

    ✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, Aishah said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Khadijah, he never tired of praising her and asking forgiveness for her. One day he mentioned her and jealousy overcame me until I said, 'Allah has compensated you with someone better than an old woman.' She said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ become angry with such anger that I sank into myself. I said to myself, 'O Allah, if You remove the anger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me, I will never mention her with anything bad as long as I live.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what I had experienced, he said, 'What did you say? By Allah, she believed in me when the people disbelieved in me, she affirmed my truthfulness when the people called me a liar, and she was granted children from me when you were deprived of them from me.' He then went back and forth to me for a month.

    ✧ A woman entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Food was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he began eating from it and placing it before her. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do not keep your hands busy.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This woman used to visit us in the days of Khadijah. Indeed, honor or preservation of the covenant is part of faith.' When he mentioned Khadijah, what takes hold of women from jealousy took hold of me, so I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah has replaced for you an old woman with a young one.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and then said, 'What is my fault if Allah granted her children from me and did not grant you?' I said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I will never mention her after this except with good.'

In front of him was a small leather water container—or she said a wooden bowl—with water in it. He began dipping his hand in it, then wiping his face and saying, "There is no god but Allah. Death has its agonies." Then he raised his hand and said, "In the highest company," until he was taken, and his hand fell ﷺ.'

يَدْخُلُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» فَذَلِكَ يَرِيبُنِي وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِالشَّرِّ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ بَعْدَمَا نَقَهْتُ وَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ أُمِّ مِسْطَحٍ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهُوَ مُتَبَرَّزُنَا لَا نَخْرُجُ إِلَّا مِنْ لَيْلٍ إِلَى لَيْلٍ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ الْكُنُفُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا وَأَمْرُنَا أَمْرُ الْعَرَبِ الْأُوَلِ فِي التَّبَرُّزِ وَكُنَّا نَتَأَذَّى بِالْكُنُفِ أَنْ نَتَّخِذَهَا عِنْدَ بُيُوتِنَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ أَبِي رُهْمِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَأُمُّهَا بِنْتُ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ خَالَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَابْنُهَا مِسْطَحُ بْنُ أُثَاثَةَ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَبِنْتُ أَبِي رُهْمٍ قِبَلَ بَيْتِي حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ تَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ فَقَالَتْ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا قَالَ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا إِلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ لَهُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَبَوَيَّ؟ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَيَقَّنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي يَا أُمَّهُ مَا تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَيْ بُنَيَّةَ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ قَطُّ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ أَوَقَدْ تَحَدِّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَمَكَثْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا اكْتَحَلُ بِنَوْمٍ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُمْ أَهْلُكَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ قَالَتْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ «أَيْ بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ مِنْ أَمْرِ عَائِشَةَ؟» فَقَالَتْ لَهُ بَرِيرَةُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْرًا قَطُّ أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَكَ اللهُ مِنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ حَمَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَنَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَتْ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ فَمَكَثْتُ يَوْمِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ

لَبِثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِي شَيْءٌ قَالَتْ فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

يَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي اللهُ بِهَا قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَجْلِسَهُ وَلَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ عِنْدَ الْوَحْيِ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ يَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ فِي الْيَوْمِ

أَمَا وَاللهِ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ اللهُ» فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي قَوْمِي إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ بَرَاءَتِي قَالَتْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ} عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتَ بَرَاءَتِي قَالَتْ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ وَاللهِ لَا

اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ النَّفَقَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَنْزِعُهَا مِنْهُ أَبَدًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ

أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ وَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُحَارِبُ لَهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَمْرِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ

    Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lots amongst his wives, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to take with him the one on whom lot fell. He drew lots amongst us during one of the Ghazwat which he fought. The lot fell on me and so I proceeded with Messenger of Allah ﷺ after Allah's order of veiling (the women) had been revealed. I was carried (on the back of a camel) in my howdah and carried down while still in it (when we came to a halt). So we went on till Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished from that Ghazwa of his and returned. When we approached the city of Medina he announced at night that it was time for departure. So when they announced the news of departure, I got up and went away from the army camps, and after finishing from the call of nature, I came back to my riding animal. I touched my chest to find that my necklace which was made of Zifar beads (i.e. Yemenite beads partly black and partly white) was missing. So I returned to look for my necklace and my search for it detained me. (In the meanwhile) the people who used to carry me on my camel, came and took my howdah and put it on the back of my camel on which I used to ride, as they considered that I was in it. In those days women were light in weight for they did not get fat, and flesh did not cover their bodies in abundance as they used to eat only a little food. Those people therefore, disregarded the lightness of the howdah while lifting and carrying it; and at that time I was still a young girl. They made the camel rise and all of them left (along with it). I found my necklace after the army had gone. Then I came to their camping place to find no call maker of them, nor one who would respond to the call. So I intended to go to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come back to me (in my search). While I was sitting in my resting place, I was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. Safwan bin Al-Muattal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army. When he reached my place in the morning, he saw the figure of a sleeping person and he recognized me on seeing me as he had seen me before the order of compulsory veiling (was prescribed). So I woke up when he recited Istirja' (i.e. "Inna li l-lahi wa inna llaihi raji'un") as soon as he recognized me. I veiled my face with my head cover at once, and by Allah, we did not speak a single word, and I did not hear him saying any word besides his Istirja'. He dismounted from his camel and made it kneel down, putting his leg on its front legs and then I got up and rode on it. Then he set out leading the camel that was carrying me till we overtook the army in the extreme heat of midday while they were at a halt (taking a rest). (Because of the event) some people brought destruction upon themselves and the one who spread the Ifk (i.e. slander) more, was ʿAbdullah bin Ubai Ibn Salul." (Urwa said, "The people propagated the slander and talked about it in his (i.e. ʿAbdullah's) presence and he confirmed it and listened to it and asked about it to let it prevail." ʿUrwa also added, "None was mentioned as members of the slanderous group besides (ʿAbdullah) except Hassan bin Thabit and Mistah bin Uthatha and Hamna bint Jahsh along with others about whom I have no knowledge, but they were a group as Allah said. It is said that the one who carried most of the slander was ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul." ʿUrwa added, "ʿAisha disliked to have Hassan abused in her presence and she used to say, 'It was he who said: My father and his (i.e. my father's) father and my honor are all for the protection of Muhammad's honor from you."). ʿAisha added, "After we returned to Medina, I became ill for a month. The people were propagating the forged statements of the slanderers while I was unaware of anything of all that, but I felt that in my present ailment, I was not receiving the same kindness from Messenger of Allah ﷺ as I used to receive when I got sick. (But now) Messenger of Allah ﷺ would only come, greet me and say,' How is that (lady)?' and leave. That roused my doubts, but I did not discover the evil (i.e. slander) till I went out after my convalescence, I went out with Um Mistah to Al-Manasi' where we used to answer the call of nature and we used not to go out (to answer the call of nature) except at night, and that was before we had latrines near our houses. And this habit of our concerning evacuating the bowels, was similar to the habits of the old 'Arabs living in the deserts, for it would be troublesome for us to take latrines near our houses. So I and Um Mistah who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin Al-Muttalib bin ʿAbd Manaf, whose mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin 'Amir and the aunt of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and whose son was Mistah bin Uthatha bin ʿAbbas bin Al-Muttalib, went out. I and Um Mistah returned to my house after we finished answering the call of nature. Um Mistah stumbled by getting her foot entangled in her covering sheet and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined!' I said, 'What a hard word you have said. Do you abuse a man who took part in the battle of Badr?' On that she said, 'O you Hantah! Didn't you hear what he (i.e. Mistah) said? 'I said, 'What did he say?' Then she told me the slander of the people of Ifk. So my ailment was aggravated, and when I reached my home, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me, and after greeting me, said, 'How is that (lady)?' I said, 'Will you allow me to go to my parents?' as I wanted to be sure about the news through them. Allah's Apostle allowed me (and I went to my parents) and asked my mother, 'O mother! What are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry, for scarcely is there a charming woman who is loved by her husband and whose husband has other wives besides herself that they (i.e. women) would find faults with her.' I said, 'Subhan-Allah! (I testify the uniqueness of Allah). Are the people really talking in this way?' I kept on weeping that night till dawn I could neither stop weeping nor sleep then in the morning again, I kept on weeping. When the Divine Inspiration was delayed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ʿAli bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid to ask and consult them about divorcing me. Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of my innocence, and the respect he preserved in himself for me. Usama said, '(O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!) She is your wife and we do not know anything except good about her.' ʿAli bin Abi Talib said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allah does not put you in difficulty and there are plenty of women other than she, yet, ask the maid-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barira (i.e. the maid-servant) and said, 'O Barira! Did you ever see anything which aroused your suspicion?' Barira said to him, 'By Him Who has sent you with the Truth. I have never seen anything in her (i.e. Aisha) which I would conceal, except that she is a young girl who sleeps leaving the dough of her family exposed so that the domestic goats come and eat it.' So, on that day, Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up on the pulpit and complained about ʿAbdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) before his companions, saying, 'O you Muslims! Who will relieve me from that man who has hurt me with his evil statement about my family? By Allah, I know nothing except good about my family and they have blamed a man about whom I know nothing except good and he used never to enter my home except with me.' Saʿd bin Muʿadh the brother of Banu ʿAbd Al-Ashhal got up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I will relieve you from him; if he is from the tribe of Al-Aus, then I will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers, i.e. Al-Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that, a man from Al-Khazraj got up. Um Hassan, his cousin, was from his branch tribe, and he was Saʿd bin Ubada, chief of Al-Khazraj. Before this incident, he was a pious man, but his love for his tribe goaded him into saying to Saʿd (bin Muʿadh). 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you shall not and cannot kill him. If he belonged to your people, you would not wish him to be killed.' On that, Usaid bin Hudair who was the cousin of Saʿd (bin Muʿadh) got up and said to Saʿd bin 'Ubada, 'By Allah! You are a liar! We will surely kill him, and you are a hypocrite arguing on the behalf of hypocrites.' On this, the two tribes of Al-Aus and Al Khazraj got so much excited that they were about to fight while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became silent and so did he. All that day I kept on weeping with my tears never ceasing, and I could never sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I wept for two nights and a day with my tears never ceasing and I could never sleep till I thought that my liver would burst from weeping. So, while my parents were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked me to grant her admittance. I allowed her to come in, and when she came in, she sat down and started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, greeted us and sat down. He had never sat with me since that day of the slander. A month had elapsed and no Divine Inspiration came to him about my case. Allah's Apostle then recited Tashah-hud and then said, 'Amma Badu, O ʿAisha! I have been informed so-andso about you; if you are innocent, then soon Allah will reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him for forgiveness for when a slave confesses his sins and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.' (continued...) (continuing... 1): -5.462:...... When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his speech, my tears ceased flowing completely that I no longer felt a single drop of tear flowing. I said to my father, 'Reply to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf concerning what he has said.' My father said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Then I said to my mother, 'Reply to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf concerning what he has said.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' In spite of the fact that I was a young girl and had a little knowledge of Qur'an, I said, 'By Allah, no doubt I know that you heard this (slanderous) speech so that it has been planted in your hearts (i.e. minds) and you have taken it as a truth. Now if I tell you that I am innocent, you will not believe me, and if confess to you about it, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will surely believe me. By Allah, I find no similitude for me and you except that of Joseph's father when he said, '(For me) patience in the most fitting against that which you assert; it is Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side and lay on my bed; and Allah knew then that I was innocent and hoped that Allah would reveal my innocence. But, by Allah, I never thought that Allah would reveal about my case, Divine Inspiration, that would be recited (forever) as I considered myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something of my concern, but I hoped that Messenger of Allah ﷺ might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. But, by Allah, before Messenger of Allah ﷺ left his seat and before any of the household left, the Divine inspiration came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So there overtook him the same hard condition which used to overtake him, (when he used to be inspired Divinely). The sweat was dropping from his body like pearls though it was a wintry day and that was because of the weighty statement which was being revealed to him. When that state of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was over, he got up smiling, and the first word he said was, 'O ʿAisha! Allah has declared your innocence!' Then my Mother said to me, 'Get up and go to him (i.e. Messenger of Allah ﷺ). I replied, 'By Allah, I will not go to him, and I praise none but Allah. So Allah revealed the ten Verses:- - "Verily! They who spread the slander Are a gang, among you............." (24.11-20) Allah revealed those Qur'anic Verses to declare my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to disburse money for Mistah bin Uthatha because of his relationship to him and his poverty, said, 'By Allah, I will never give to Mistah bin Uthatha anything after what he has said about Aisha.' Then Allah revealed:-- "And let not those among you who are good and wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, those in need, and those who have left their homes for Allah's cause, let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is oft-Forgiving Most Merciful." (24.22) Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, 'Yes, by Allah, I would like that Allah forgive me.' and went on giving Mistah the money he used to give him before. He also added, 'By Allah, I will never deprive him of it at all.' Aisha further said:." Messenger of Allah ﷺ also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. his wife) about my case. He said to Zainab, 'What do you know and what did you see?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I refrain from claiming falsely that I have heard or seen anything. By Allah, I know nothing except good (about ʿAisha).' From amongst the wives of the Prophet ﷺ Zainab was my peer (in beauty and in the love she received from the Prophet) but Allah saved her from that evil because of her piety. Her sister Hamna, started struggling on her behalf and she was destroyed along with those who were destroyed. The man who was blamed said, 'Subhan-Allah! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I have never uncovered the cover (i.e. veil) of any female.' Later on the man was martyred in Allah's Cause." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4141)

    حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللهُ قَالَ وَكُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَبَعْضُ حَدِيثِهِمْ يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضًا

سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ فِيهَا سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْحِجَابَ فَأَنَا أَنْزَلُ وَأُحْمَلُ فِي هَوْدَجِي فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ فدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَافِلِينَ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنَ بِالرَّحِيلِ

اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِهَا دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونَنِي فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ ثُمَّ الذَّكْوَانِيُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ فَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى

كَلِمَةً وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حَتَّى أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ بِي يَقُودُ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا

شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ تَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ قَالَتْ يَا هَنْتَاهُ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَتْ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا إِلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ لَهُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَبَوَيَّ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجِئْتُ أَبَوَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي يَا أُمَّتَاهُ مَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّمَا كَانَتْ قَطُّ امْرَأَةٌ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ مَنْ يُحِبُّهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا فَمَكَثْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَرَاثَ الْوَحْيَ فَشَاوَرَهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالَّذِيِ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْلُكَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْخَادِمَ تَصْدُقْكَ قَالَتْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَيْ بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي؟ فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» قَالَتْ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ حَمَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ واللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَتْ فَتَثَاوَرَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ قَالَتْ فَمَكَثْتُ يَوْمِي ذَلِكَ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ

وَأَنَا أَبْكِي فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَيَّ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهَا فَجَلَسَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي قَالَتْ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَلَقَدْ لَبِثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَتْ فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنَبِهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ

وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ فَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي بِذَلِكَ وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفْتُ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ

فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا «أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ» فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي قُومِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَأَنْزَلَ

أُثَاثَةَ لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْهُ وَفَقْرِهِ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ أَنْ

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَاذَا عَلِمْتِ أَوْ رَأَيْتِ؟» قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَتْ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ قَالَتْ وَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ تُحَارِبُ لَهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ خَبَرِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ

    ✧ When the people of the slander said what they said about her and Allah declared her innocent. He said: Each of them narrated to me a portion of the hadith that Aisha ؓ narrated, and some of their hadith confirms the others, though some were more retentive than others. They claimed that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to go out on an expedition, he would draw lots among his wives, and whichever of them came out in the lot, he would take her with him. Aisha said: He drew lots among us for an expedition he undertook, and my lot came out, so I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after Allah had revealed the hijab. I would descend and be carried in my howdah. We traveled until, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished that expedition and we approached Madinah returning, he announced departure one night. I got up when he announced departure to relieve myself. When I had finished my business, I came back to my baggage and found that a necklace of mine made of onyx beads had broken. So I went back searching for my necklace. The group that was loading the camels came and carried my howdah and placed it on my camel that I used to ride, thinking I was inside. At that time women were light; they had not become heavy with flesh, and they ate only small amounts of food. So the people did not notice the lightness of the howdah. I was a young girl. They sent the camel off and departed. I found my necklace after the army had moved on, and I came to their campsite, but there was no one there to call or answer. So I went to the place where I had been and thought that they would miss me and come back to me. While I was sitting at my place, sleep overcame me and I fell asleep. Safwan b. al-Mu‘attal al-Sulami, then al-Dhakwani, was behind the army. He set out early at night and reached my place in the morning. He saw the dark shape of a sleeping person and came to me. He recognized me when he saw me, as he used to see me before the hijab. I woke up when he uttered the words of recovery upon recognizing me, and I covered my face with my jilbab. He did not speak a word to me, and I did not hear a word from him except his utterance of recovery, until he made his mount kneel and stepped on its foreleg, and I mounted it. He led me on the mount until we reached the army after they had halted. Then those who were destroyed were destroyed. The one who assumed the greater part of the slander was Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. We arrived in Madinah, and I fell ill for a month after arriving while the people were spreading the words of the slanderers. I was unaware of any of that, but it troubled me in my illness that I did not recognize from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the kindness I used to see from him when I was sick. He would only enter upon me, say, “How is this one?” and then leave. That troubled me, and I was unaware of the evil until I went out after I recovered. Umm Mistah went out with me toward al-Manasi‘, which was our place for relieving ourselves. We would not go out except from night to night, and that was before privies were made near our houses. Our practice was the practice of the early Arabs in going out to the open desert for relieving ourselves. We were bothered by having privies near our houses. So I set out with Umm Mistah, who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm b. al-Muttalib b. Abd Manaf, and her mother was the daughter of Sakhr b. Amir, the grandmother of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and her son was Mistah b. Uthatha b. al-Muttalib. I and Umm Mistah headed back to my house after we had finished our business. Umm Mistah tripped over her long outer garment and said, “May Mistah perish.” I said to her, “How bad what you said! Do you revile a man who witnessed Badr?” She said, “O you, have you not heard what he said?” I said, “What did he say?” Then she told me the words of the slanderers. I became more ill in addition to my illness. When we returned to my house, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us, greeted, and said, “How is this one?” I said to him, “Will you permit me to go to my parents?” At that time I wanted to confirm the news from them. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted me, so I went to my parents and said to my mother, “O mother, what are the people talking about?” She said, “O daughter, take it lightly. By Allah, rarely is there a beautiful woman loved by a man who has co-wives except that they say much against her.” I said, “Glory be to Allah! The people have been talking about this?” I spent that night until morning with tears not ceasing and no sleep soothing my eyes. She said: Then I woke up crying. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Ali b. Abi Talib and Usama b. Zayd when the revelation was delayed, and he consulted them about separating from his wife. As for Usama, he advised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ based on what he knew of his wife’s innocence and the affection he felt for them. Usama said, “O Messenger of Allah, she is your wife, and we know nothing but good of her.” As for Ali, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, Allah has not restricted you; there are many women besides her. Ask the servant girl, and she will tell you the truth.” She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barira and said to her, “O Barira, have you seen anything that makes you suspicious?” Barira said, “By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not seen anything about her that I would hold against her, except that she is a young girl who sleeps off from the dough of her family, and a domestic animal comes and eats it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood that day and sought excuse against Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. He said while on the pulpit, “O assembly of Muslims, who will excuse me from a man whose harm has reached me concerning my household? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my household, and they have mentioned a man about whom I know nothing but good, and he used to enter upon my family only with me.” She said: Sa‘d b. Mu‘adh al-Ansari stood and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I will excuse you from him. If he is from the Aws, I will strike his neck; and if he is from our brothers the Khazraj, command us and we will do your command.” Sa‘d b. Ubada stood up, who was the chief of the Khazraj that day. Before that he had been a righteous man, but zeal carried him away, and he said to Sa‘d b. Mu‘adh, “You lie! By the life of Allah, you will not kill him, nor can you.” Usayd b. Hudayr stood up, who was the cousin of Sa‘d b. Mu‘adh, and said to Sa‘d b. Ubada, “You lie! By the life of Allah, he will kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.” The two tribes, Aws and Khazraj, rose up until they were about to fight, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was calming them until they became silent, and he became silent. She said: I spent that day with tears not ceasing and no sleep soothing my eyes. My parents came to me in the morning, and I had wept through my night, with no sleep and tears not ceasing, and they thought that weeping would split my liver. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter, and I permitted her. She sat weeping with me. While we were like that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and sat down. He had not sat with me since the accusation was made. He had stayed a month without receiving revelation concerning my matter. He testified and then said, “To proceed, O Aisha, it has reached me about you such and such. If you are innocent, Allah will soon prove your innocence; but if you have committed a sin, seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant confesses his sin and then repents, Allah turns to him.” When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his speech, my tears stopped until I could not feel a drop. I said to my father, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what he said.” He said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” I said to my mother, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what he said.” She said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah.” I said, while I was a young girl who did not read much of the Quran, “By Allah, I know that you have heard this talk until it settled in your hearts and you believed it. So if I tell you that I am innocent, and Allah knows I am innocent, you will not believe me. And if I confess to you something, and Allah knows I am innocent of it, you will believe me. By Allah, I find no example for me and you except the father of Yusuf when he said: ‘So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the One sought for help.’” Then I turned and lay on my bed. By Allah, at that time I knew that I was innocent and that Allah would prove my innocence, but by Allah, I did not think that Allah would send down revelation concerning me that would be recited, for my matter was too insignificant in my view for Allah to speak about me with a recited command. But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would see a dream in his sleep by which Allah would prove my innocence. She said: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not leave his place, and no one from the household went out, until Allah, Blessed and Exalted, sent down revelation upon him. He was seized by what used to seize him of the intense condition, until sweat like pearls poured from him even on a cold day, due to the weight of the Quran being revealed to him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was relieved, he was laughing. The first word he spoke was, “As for Allah, He has declared you innocent.” My mother said, “Get up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” I said, “By Allah, I will not get up to him, and I will not praise anyone but Allah.” Allah, Mighty is His mention, sent down: “Indeed, those who came with the slander…” the whole ten verses. When Allah sent down this about my innocence, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who was supporting Mistah b. Uthatha because of his kinship and poverty, said, “By Allah, I will never spend anything on Mistah after what he said about Aisha.” Then Allah sent down: “And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give to the near of kin, the needy, and the emigrants in the way of Allah. Let them pardon and overlook. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” Abu Bakr said, “Yes, by Allah, I love that Allah should forgive me.” So he restored to Mistah the support he used to give him and said, “By Allah, I will never take it away from him.” Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Zaynab bt. Jahsh, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, about my matter. He said, “O Zaynab, what do you know or what have you seen?” She said, “O Messenger of Allah, I protect my hearing and my sight. By Allah, I know nothing but good.” Aisha said: She was the one who rivaled me among the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, and Allah protected her by her piety. Her sister Hamna began to fight on her behalf, and she perished among those who perished among the people of the slander. Al-Zuhri said: This is what has reached us of the account of these people from the hadith of Aisha.

مِنْهَا شَيْئًا يَرِيبُكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنِ الْعَجِينِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلَهُ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي فَوَاللهِ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» قَالَتْ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْنَا عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ

فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَنَزَلَ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ وَبَكَيْتُ يَوْمِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ وَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدِي أَبَوَايَ وَقَدْ بَكَيْتُ يَوْمِي وَلَيْلَتِي حَتَّى أَظُنُّ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ عَيْنِي قَالَتْ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا جَالِسَانِ عِنْدِي وَأَنَا أَبْكِي إِذِ اسْتَأْذَنَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهَا فَجَلَسَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَقَدْ مَكَثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِي فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ

قُلْتُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي بِذَلِكَ وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفْتُ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُنَّنِي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ إِذْ قَالَ {صَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ} الْآيَةَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُبَرِّئَنِيَ اللهُ بِبَرَاءَتِي وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيٌ يُتْلَى وَلَأَنَا أَحْقَرُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يُتَكَلَّمَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي أَمْرِي وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رُؤْيَا تُبَرِّئُنِي قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي يَوْمٍ شَاتٍ قَالَتْ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا أَنْ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ احْمَدِي اللهَ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ اللهُ» فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي قُومِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ} الْآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحِ بْنِ أُثَاثَةَ لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْهُ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَا عَلِمْتِ وَمَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ

    ✧ All of them narrated to me a portion of her hadith, and some were more retentive than others and more accurate in narrating. I have memorized from each man among them the hadith he narrated to me, and some of their hadith confirms others. They claimed that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to go out on a journey, he drew lots among his wives, and whichever of them came out in the lot, he took her with him. She said: He drew lots among us for an expedition he undertook, and my lot came out, so I went out with him after the hijab had been revealed. I was carried in a howdah and descended in it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished that expedition and returned, and we approached Madinah, he announced departure one night. I got up when they announced departure and walked until I had passed beyond the army. When I had finished my business, I came back to the baggage and felt my chest, and found that a necklace of mine made of onyx beads had broken. So I went back searching for my necklace, and its search detained me. The people who were loading my camel came and carried my howdah and placed it on my camel that I rode, thinking I was inside. At that time women were light; they had not become heavy and flesh had not covered them, and they ate only small amounts of food. So they carried it, and I was a young girl. They sent the camel off and departed. I found my necklace after the army had moved on, and I came to their campsite, but there was no one in it. I headed to my place where I had been, and I thought that they would miss me and return to me. While I was sitting at my place, sleep overcame my eyes. Safwan b. al-Mu‘attal al-Sulami, then al-Dhakwani, was behind the army. He reached my place in the morning and saw the dark shape of a sleeping person. He came to me, and he used to see me before the hijab. I woke up at his utterance of recovery when he made his mount kneel and stepped on its foreleg, and I mounted it. He led me on the mount until we reached the army after they had halted, resting at noon. Then those who were destroyed were destroyed. The one who assumed the greater part of the slander was Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. I arrived in Madinah and fell ill there for a month, while the people were spreading the words of the slanderers, and I was unaware of any of that. But it troubled me in my illness that I did not recognize from the Messenger of Allah the kindness I used to see from him when I was sick. He would only enter, greet, and say, “How is this one?” Then he would leave. That troubled me, and I remained unaware until I recovered. I went out with Umm Mistah toward al-Manasi‘, our place for relieving ourselves. We would not go out except from night to night, and that was before privies were made near our houses. Our practice was the practice of the early Arabs in the open desert. I and Umm Mistah, daughter of Abu Ruhm, were walking when she tripped over her long outer garment and said, “May Mistah perish.” I said to her, “How bad what you said! Do you revile a man who witnessed Badr?” She said, “O you, have you not heard what they said?” I said, “What did they say?” She told me the words of the slanderers, and I became more ill in addition to my illness. When I returned to my house, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and said, “How is this one?” I said, “Permit me to go to my parents.” At that time I wanted to confirm the news from them. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted me, so I went to my parents and said to my mother, “What are the people talking about?” She said, “O daughter, take the matter lightly. By Allah, rarely is there a beautiful woman loved by a man who has co-wives except that they say much against her.” I said, “Glory be to Allah! The people have been talking about this?” She said: I spent that night until morning with tears not ceasing and no sleep soothing my eyes. Then I woke up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Ali b. Abi Talib and Usama b. Zayd when the revelation was delayed, to consult them about separating from his wife. As for Usama, he advised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ based on what he knew of his wife’s innocence and the affection he felt for them. Usama said, “She is your wife, O Messenger of Allah, and we know nothing but good.” As for Ali, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, Allah has not restricted you; there are many women besides her. Ask the servant girl, and she will tell you the truth.” She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barira and said to her, “Have you seen anything from her that makes you suspicious?” Barira said, “No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have not seen anything about her that I would hold against her, except that she is a young girl who sleeps off from the dough until a domestic animal comes and eats it.” She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood that day and sought excuse against Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Who will excuse me from a man whose harm has reached me concerning my family? By Allah,” he said it three times, “I know nothing but good about my family, and they have mentioned a man about whom I know nothing but good, and he used to enter upon my family only with me.” She said: Sa‘d b. Mu‘adh stood and said, “By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I will excuse you from him. If he is from the Aws, we will strike his neck; and if he is from our brothers the Khazraj, command us and we will do your command.” Sa‘d b. Ubada stood, who was the chief of the Khazraj and had been a righteous man before, but zeal carried him away. He said, “You lie! By the life of Allah, you will not kill him, nor can you do that.” Usayd b. Hudayr said, “You lie! By the life of Allah, he will kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.” The two tribes Aws and Khazraj rose up until they were about to fight, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. He came down to calm them until they became silent, and he became silent. I wept all day with tears not ceasing and no sleep soothing my eyes. My parents came to me in the morning, and I had wept through my day and night until I thought that weeping would split my eye. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter, and I permitted her. She sat weeping with me. While we were like that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and sat down. He had not sat with me since the accusation was made. He had stayed a month without receiving revelation concerning my matter. He testified and then said, “To proceed, O Aisha, it has reached me about you such and such. If you are innocent, Allah will soon prove your innocence; but if you have committed a sin, seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant confesses a sin and then repents, Allah turns to him.” When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his speech, my tears stopped until I could not feel a drop. I said to my father, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what he said.” He said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” I said to my mother, and she said the same. I said, while I was a young girl who did not read much of the Quran, “By Allah, I know that you have heard what has been said, and it has settled in your hearts and you have believed it. So if I tell you that I am innocent, and Allah knows I am innocent, you will not believe me. And if I confess to you something, and Allah knows I am innocent of it, you will believe me. By Allah, I find no example for me and you except the father of Yusuf when he said: ‘Patience is most fitting…’” She said: Then I turned on my bed, hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. But by Allah, I did not think that revelation would be sent down concerning my matter that would be recited, for I was too insignificant in my view for the Quran to speak about my matter. But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would see a dream that would prove my innocence. She said: By Allah, he did not leave his seat, and no one left the house, until revelation came down upon him. He was seized by what used to seize him of the intense condition, until sweat like pearls poured from him on a cold day. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was relieved, and he was laughing. The first word he spoke was, “O Aisha, praise Allah, for Allah has declared you innocent.” My mother said to me, “Get up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” I said, “By Allah, I will not get up to him, and I will not praise anyone but Allah.” Allah sent down: “Indeed, those who came with the slander…” the whole verses. When Allah sent down this about my innocence, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who was supporting Mistah b. Uthatha because of his kinship, said, “By Allah, I will never spend anything on Mistah after what he said about Aisha.” Then Allah sent down this verse: “And let not those of virtue among you…” to the end of the verse. Abu Bakr said, “Yes, I love that Allah should forgive me.” So he restored to Mistah the support he used to give him. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Zaynab bt. Jahsh about my matter. He said, “O Zaynab, what do you know and what have you seen?” She said, “I protect my hearing and my sight. By Allah, I know nothing but good about her.” Aisha said: She was the one who rivaled me, and Allah protected her by her piety.

    كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا سَافَرَ بِهَا فَغَزَا غَزْوَةً خَرَجَ فِيهَا سَهْمِي فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَزَاتِهِ

هُوَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ فَجَاءَ النَّفْرُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرْحَلُونَ بِي هَوْدَجِي فَرَحَلُوهُ عَلَى جَمَلِي وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنِّي فِيهِ وَالنِّسَاءُ حِينَئِذٍ خِفَافٌ لَمْ يُهَبَّلْنَ اللَّحْمَ فَاسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ وَجِئْتُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِهَا مِنْهُمْ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي وَعَلِمْتُ أَنْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي فَيَنْظُرُونِي

كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيَّ الْحِجَابُ فَفَزِعْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ فَخَمَّرْتُ وَجْهِي فَمَا تَكَلَّمَ غَيْرَهَا وَمَا تَكَلَّمَنِي حَتَّى أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهَا فَرَكِبْتُ فَجِئْنَا الْجَيْشَ نَحْرَ الظَّهِيرَةِ مُغَاوِلِينَ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَمَرِضْتُ شَهْرًا لَا أَشْعُرُ بِالَّذِيِ قَالَ أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ وَأَنَا يَرِيبُنِي مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنِّي لَا أَرَى مِنْهُ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَى مِنْهُ إِذَا مَرِضْتُ إِنَّمَا يَقُومُ قَائِمًا فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» حَتَّى إِذَا نَقَهْتُ تَبَرَّزْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ إِلَى الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهُوَ مُتَبَرَّزُنَا وَأَمْرُنَا أَمْرُ الْعَرَبِ الْأُوَلِ إِنَّمَا نَأْكُلُ الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَيَتَبَرَّزْنَ لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا شَأْنَنَا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ سَبَبْتِ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فَقَالَتْ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ أَوَ مَا تَدْرِينَ مَا قَالُوا؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالُوا؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي الْخَبَرَ فَانْتَظَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَيَأْتِيَ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ فَأَسْتَيْقِنُ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَجِئْتُ بَيْتَهُمَا فَوَجَدْتُ أَبِي يُصَلِّي قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّهُ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَتْ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ إِنَّهُ قَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا

مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً قُلْتُ يَا أَبَتِ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أُجِيبُهُ قُلْتُ يَا أُمِّي أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَتْ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أُجِيبُهُ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا

يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفَتُ بِذَنْبٍ أَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُونَنِي أَلَا فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَأَبِي يُوسُفَ اخْتُلِسَ مِنِّي اسْمُهُ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ} ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ وَجْهِي نَحْوَ الْجِدَارِ وَنَفْسِي أَحْقَرُ عِنْدِي مِنْ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُرِيَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ رُؤْيَا فِي الْمَنَامِ فَمَا تَفَرَّقَ أَهْلُ الْمَجْلِسِ حَتَّى أَخَذَتْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبُرَحَاءُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَأْخُذُهُ عِنْدَ الْوَحْيِ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فَاسْتَغْشَى ثَوْبَهُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ فَأَخْشَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَا لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ عَائِشَةَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مُفِيقٌ فَيُطْعِمُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ هَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا فَنَزَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُ الثَّوْبَ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أَبْشِرِي يَا عَائِشَ أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ» فَقُلْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ وَذَمِّكُمْ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي قَوْمِي فَقَبِّلِي رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَكَانَ مِمَّا يَبْغِي عَلَيْهِ أَنْ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَسْتَحِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ أَنْ تَقُولَ لِي مَا قَالَ

    حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللهُ وَكُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَبَعْضُ حَدِيثِهِمْ يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضًا وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْعَى لِحَدِيثِهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَذَكَرُوا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى سَفَرٍ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ فِيهَا سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَنَا أُحْمَلُ فِي هَوْدَجِي وَأُنْزَلُ فِيهِ فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ وَقَفَلَ وَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنَ بِالرَّحِيلِ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ شَأْنِي وَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى رَحْلِي فَإِذَا عِقْدٌ لِي مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ فِي الْتِمَاسِ عِقْدِي فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الرَّهْطُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُرَحِّلُونَنِي فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنِّي فِيهِ وَكُنَّا إِذْ ذَاكَ خِفَافًا لَمْ يُهَبِّلْنَا اللَّحْمُ إِنَّمَا تَأْكُلُ إِحْدَانَا الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَنْكِرِ الْقَوْمُ خِفَّةَ الْهَوْدَجِ حِينَ رَفَعُوهُ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ فَبَعَثُوا الْجَمَلَ وَسَارُوا وَوَجَدْتُ عِقْدِي بَعْدَمَا اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنْزِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي وَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ فَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَعَرَفَنِي حِينَ رَآنِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ الْحِجَابِ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ عَرَفَنِي فَخَمَّرْتُ وَجْهِي بِجِلْبَابِي فَوَاللهِ مَا كَلَّمَنِي كَلَامًا وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً حَتَّى أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا مُوغِرِينَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَهَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَ الْإِثْمِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابن سلول ففَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ حِينَ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ شَهْرًا وَالنَّاسُ يُفِيضُونَ فِي قَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَرِيبُنِي فِي وَجَعِي أَنِّي لَمْ أَعْرِفْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَى مِنْهُ حِينَ أَشْتَكِي إِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَذَلِكَ يَرِيبُنِي وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِالشَّرِّ حَتَّى خَرَجْنَا بَعْدَمَا نَقَهْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قَبِلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهُوَ مُتَبَرَّزُنَا وَكُنَّا لَا نَخْرُجُ إِلَّا لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ الْكُنُفُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا وَأَمْرُنَا أَمْرُ الْعَرَبِ الْأُوَلِ فِي التَّبَرُّزِ قِبَلَ الْغَائِطِ وَكُنَّا نَتَأَذَّى فِي الْكُنُفِ أَنْ نَتَّخِذَهَا عِنْدَ بُيُوتِنَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قِبَلَ بَيْتِي حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسُ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ أَتَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ قَالَتْ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا عَلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي وَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ؟ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَجِئْتُ أُمِّي وَأَبِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ مَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّمَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ فَبَكَيْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَالَّذِي فِي نَفْسِهِ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْلُكَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «يَا بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا قَطُّ أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ أَخَذْتُهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَتْ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ قَالَتْ وَمَكَثْتُ يَوْمِي ذَلِكَ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ وَأَبَوَاي عِنْدِي وَقَدْ مَكَثْتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَيَوْمًا لَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ وَلَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ كَبِدِي فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا جَالِسَانِ عِنْدِي وَأَنَا أَبْكِي اسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَيَّ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهَا فَجَعَلَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَلَقَدْ لَبِثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِي قَالَتْ فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ ثُمَّ تُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ إِلَى اللهِ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِنَّكُمْ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ فَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي بِذَلِكَ وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفَتُ بِأَمْرٍ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُنَّنِي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ قَالَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ وَاضْطَجَعْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي قَالَتْ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ مُبَرِّئِي بِبَرَاءَتِي وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُنْزِلُ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيًا يُتْلَى لَشَأْنِي فِي نَفْسِي كَانَ أَحْقَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُرِيَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي بِهَا قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّاتِي مِنْ ثِقَلِ الْقُرْآنِ الَّذِي يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا أَنْ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ» فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي قَوْمِي إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} الْعَشْرَ الْآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْهُ وَفَقْرِهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا لِلَّذِي قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ} الْآيَةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ بِالنَّفَقَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَنْزِعُهَا مِنْهُ أَبَدًا فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَاذَا عَلِمْتِ أَوْ رَأَيْتِ؟» قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ وَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ تُحَارِبُ لَهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ

    ✧ When the people of the slander said about her what they said, and God declared her innocent. Each of them narrated to me a portion of the hadith that was narrated to me from Aisha, and some of their hadith confirms others, even though some of them were more retentive of her hadith than others. They mentioned that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ wanted to set out on a journey, he would cast lots among his wives, and whichever of them the lot fell upon, he would take her with him. Aisha said: He cast lots among us during a military expedition he undertook, and my lot came out, so I went out with the Messenger of God ﷺ after the veil had been revealed. I was carried in my howdah and brought down while in it. We traveled until, when the Messenger of God ﷺ had finished that expedition of his and returned, and we drew near to Madinah, he announced one night that we would depart. I got up when he announced the departure and walked until I passed beyond the army. When I had finished my business and came back to my mount, I found that a necklace of mine made of A'far beads had broken, so I went back to look for my necklace, and my search for it detained me. The group that used to make me ready came and lifted my howdah onto my camel, the one I used to ride, thinking that I was in it. At that time we were light, as meat had not made us heavy; one of us would eat only a morsel of food, so the people did not notice the lightness of the howdah when they lifted it. I was a young girl, so they set the camel moving and went on. I found my necklace after the army had moved on, and came to their camp, but there was no one there to call out or answer. I went to the place where I had been staying, thinking that they would miss me and come back to me. While I was sitting in my place, sleep overcame me and I fell asleep. Safwan b. al-Mu'attal al-Sulami had been behind the army, and he traveled on and arrived at my place in the morning. He saw the form of a sleeping person and recognized me when he saw me, for he had seen me before the veil. I woke up when he uttered "inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un" upon recognizing me, and I covered my face with my outer garment. By God, he did not speak a word to me, and I did not hear a word from him until he made his camel kneel, pressed down on its foreleg, and I mounted it. He set off leading the camel with me until he caught up with the army after they had halted in the extreme heat of midday. Then those who perished from the people of the slander perished, and the one who took upon himself the greatest share of the sin was Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul. We arrived in Madinah, and I fell ill for a month after we arrived, while the people were indulging in the talk of the slanderers, and I was unaware of any of that. What disturbed me during my illness was that I did not perceive from the Messenger of God ﷺ the kindness that I used to see from him when I was sick; he would only enter upon me and say, "How is that one of you?" then leave. That disturbed me, but I was unaware of the evil until I went out after I had recovered, along with Umm Mistah, to the place for relieving ourselves, which was our open-air toilet. We would only go out at night to night, and that was before we had small closets near our houses. Our practice was the practice of the early Arabs in going out to the desert for defecation, and we were annoyed by having closets near our houses. So I went out with Umm Mistah toward my house after we had finished our business. Umm Mistah stumbled in her long garment and said, "May Mistah perish!" I said, "What a bad thing you have said! Do you revile a man who was present at Badr?" She said, "O you, have you not heard what he said?" I said, "What did he say?" She informed me of the talk of the slanderers, and I became more ill on top of my illness. When I returned to my house, the Messenger of God ﷺ came in and said, "How is that one of you?" I said, "Will you permit me to go to my parents?" At that time I wanted to make sure of the news from them. He permitted me, and I went to my mother and father and said, "O mother, what are the people talking about?" She said, "O daughter, take it lightly, for by God, rarely is a beautiful woman loved by a man who has other wives but that they speak much against her." I said, "Glory be to God! Have the people really been talking about that?" She said, "Yes." I wept that night until morning, my tears not ceasing and I could not sleep. Then I spent the next day weeping. The Messenger of God ﷺ called Ali b. Abi Talib and Usama b. Zayd when the revelation was delayed, to seek their counsel about separating from his wife. As for Usama, he advised the Messenger of God ﷺ according to what he knew of his wife's innocence and the affection he had in his heart for them, and said, "O Messenger of God, she is your wife, and we know nothing but good about her." As for Ali b. Abi Talib, he said, "O Messenger of God, God has not made things narrow for you; there are many women besides her. If you ask the slave girl, she will tell you the truth." The Messenger of God ﷺ called Barīra and said to her, "O Barīra, have you seen anything that causes you doubt?" Barīra said, "No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have never seen any fault in her that I could find, except that she is a young girl who sleeps and lets her family's dough be eaten by the domestic animals." The Messenger of God ﷺ stood that day and asked to be excused from Abdullah b. Ubayy. He said while on the pulpit: "O assembly of Muslims, who will excuse me from a man whose harm to my family has reached me? By God, I know nothing but good about my family. They have mentioned a man of whom I know nothing but good, and he never used to enter upon my family except with me." Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said, "O Messenger of God, I will excuse you from him. If he is from the Aws, I will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers of the Khazraj, you command us and we will do your command." Sa'd b. Ubada, who was the leader of the Khazraj, stood up, and he had been before that a righteous man, but zeal took hold of him, and he said to Sa'd b. Mu'adh, "You have lied! By the life of God, you shall not kill him, and you are not able to kill him." Usayd b. Hudayr, who was the cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh, stood up and said to Sa'd b. Ubada, "You have lied! By the life of God, we will kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of the hypocrites." The two tribes, the Aws and the Khazraj, became agitated until they were about to fight, while the Messenger of God ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. He kept calming them down until they fell silent, and he fell silent. She said: I remained that day with my tears not ceasing and I could not sleep, while my parents were with me. I had spent two nights and a day without sleeping or my tears ceasing, thinking that weeping would split my liver. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, a woman of the Ansar asked permission to enter upon me. I granted her permission, and she began to weep with me. While we were thus, the Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon us and sat down. She said: He had not sat with me since the talk had begun, and he had waited a month without receiving revelation concerning my affair. She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ pronounced the testimony of faith when he sat down, then said: "Now then, O Aisha, it has reached me about you such and such. If you are innocent, God will soon declare your innocence. If you have committed a sin, ask God for forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant acknowledges a sin and then repents to God, God accepts his repentance." When he finished his speech, my tears dried up so that I did not feel a single drop. I said to my father, "Answer the Messenger of God about what he said." He said, "By God, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of God." I said to my mother, "Answer the Messenger of God." She said, "By God, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of God." I said, while I was a young girl who did not read much of the Quran, "You, by God, have heard this talk until it has settled in your hearts and you have believed it. If I say to you that I am innocent, and God knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me. But if I confess to something, and God knows that I am innocent, you will surely believe me. By God, I find for myself and for you no example except the father of Joseph, who said: 'So patience is most fitting. And God is the one sought for help against what you describe' (Quran 12:18)." Then I turned away and lay down on my bed. She said: At that time I knew that I was innocent and that God would declare my innocence, but by God, I did not think that God would send down concerning my affair a revelation that would be recited, for my affair was too insignificant in my own eyes for God to speak about me in a matter that would be recited. But I hoped that God would show His Messenger a dream in which He would declare my innocence. By God, the Messenger of God ﷺ had not left his seat, and no one of the household had gone out, when God sent down revelation upon him. He was seized by the intense state that used to seize him, until sweat dripped from him like pearls on a cold day, because of the weight of the Quran that was being revealed to him. When the state left the Messenger of God, he recovered and was smiling. The first words he spoke were: "O Aisha, God has declared your innocence." My mother said to me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By God, I will not get up and go to him, and I will praise no one but God." Then God sent down: "Indeed, those who came with the slander are a group among you..." the ten verses in full. When God sent down this concerning my innocence, Abu Bakr, who used to spend on Mistah because of his kinship and poverty, said, "By God, I will never spend anything on him again because of what he said about Aisha." Then God sent down: "And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give..." the verse. Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by God, I love that God should forgive me." So he returned to spending on Mistah as he used to, and said, "By God, I will never withhold it from him." Aisha said: The Messenger of God ﷺ had asked Zaynab bt. Jahsh about my affair, saying, "O Zaynab, what do you know or what have you seen?" Zaynab said, "I protect my hearing and my sight. By God, I know nothing but good." She was the one who used to rival me among the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, but God protected her through her piety. Her sister Hamna began to fight on her behalf and perished among those who perished from the people of the slander. Ibn Shihab said: This is what has reached us of the hadith of these people.

    كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى سَفَرٍ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ قَالَتْ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ سَهْمِي

وَلَيْسَ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَرْجِعُونَ فِي طَلَبِي قَالَتْ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَاعِدَةٌ إِذْ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ ثُمَّ الذَّكْوَانِيُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ فَأَصْبَحَ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَعَرَفَنِي وَقَدْ كَانَ

عَلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» وَلَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ وَخَرَجَتْ مَعِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ وَكُنَّا لَا نَخْرُجُ إِلَّا لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ وَكُنَّا نَتَأَذَّى

هَذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا

عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا فِيهِ أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنِ احْتَمَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَتَثَاوَرَ الْحَيَّانِ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى حَجَزَ بَيْنَهُمْ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيَّ وَعِنْدِي أَبَوَايَ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ فَهِيَ تُسَاعِدُنِي قَالَتْ فَجَلَسَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِشَيْءٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَئِنِ اعْتَرَفَتُ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَاللهِ لَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا مَا قَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} قُلْتُ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَلَشَأْنِي كَانَ أَصْغَرَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ قَالَتْ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُرِيَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي فِيهَا قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مَجْلِسَهُ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَخَذَتْهُ الْبُرَحَاءُ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ إِذَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ أَخَذَتْهُ الْبُرَحَاءُ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّاتِي قَالَتْ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا قَالَ «أَمَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ» فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي قُومِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا اللهَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَاللهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ} وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِفَاقَتِهِ وَقَرَابَتِهِ فَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ بِمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ} فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ مِثْلَمَا كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ وَكَانَتْ هِيَ الَّتِي تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِّي فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ فَقَالَتْ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي مَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا يَرِيبُنِي وَكَانَتْ أُخْتُ زَيْنَبَ حَمْنَةُ

    فِيمَا قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ فَبَرَّأَهَا اللهُ مِمَا قَالُوا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَكُلُّهُمْ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا وَبَعْضُهُمْ كَانَ أَوْعَى لِحَدِيثِهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ

تِلْكَ وَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَرَدْنَا الرَّحِيلَ فَخَرَجْتُ حِينَ آذَنُونَا بِالرَّحِيلِ فَتَبَرَّزْتُ لِحَاجَتِي حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ شَأْنِي رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَلَمَسْتُ صَدْرِي فَإِذَا عِقْدٌ عَلَيَّ مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي الْتِمَاسِهِ فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الرَّهْطُ الَّذِينَ يَرْحَلُونَ بِي فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنِّي فِيهِ وَكَانَ النِّسَاءُ إِذْ ذَاكَ لَمْ يُهَبِّلْهُنَّ اللَّحْمُ إِنَّمَا تَأْكُلُ إِحْدَانَا الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَنْكِرِ الْقَوْمُ خِفَّةَ الْهَوْدَجِ حِينَ رَفَعُوهُ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ فَبَعَثُوا الْجَمَلَ فَوَجَدْتُ عِقْدِي بَعْدَمَا اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ فَلَيْسَ بِهَا مِنْهُمْ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ فِي مَنْزِلِي إِذْ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ وَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ فَعَرَفَنِي حِينَ رَآنِي وَكَانَ رَآنِي قَبْلَ الْحِجَابِ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ فَخَمَّرْتُ وَجْهِي بِجِلْبَابِي وَاللهِ مَا كَلَّمَنِي كَلِمَةً وَلَا سَمِعْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَلَامِهِ غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا مُوغِرِينَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ حِينَ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ شَهْرًا وَالنَّاسُ يُفِيضُونَ فِي قَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَرِيبُنِي فِي وَجَعِي أَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَاهُ مِنْهُ حِينَ أَشْتَكِي إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَرِيبُنِي مِنْهُ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ بَعْدَمَا نَقَهْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ أَبِي رُهْمِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَأُمُّهَا بِنْتُ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ خَالَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَابْنُهَا مِسْطَحُ بْنُ أُثَاثَةَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ تَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ قَالَتْ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا عَلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ تَأْذَنُ لِي فَآتِي أَبَوَايَ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَوَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي مَاذَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ بِهِ؟ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ قَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ فَمَكَثْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالْوُدِّ الَّذِي لَهُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَهْلُكَ وَمَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ النِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ «يَا بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ شَيْئًا يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمِنْبَرَ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَنِنَا مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا بِأَمْرِكَ فِيهِ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنِ اسْتَجْهَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَتَثَاوَرَ الْحَيَّانِ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُسْكِتُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا فَمَكَثْتُ يَوْمِي ذَاكَ أَبْكِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ وَأَصْبَحَ أَبَوَايَ عِنْدِي يَظُنَّانِ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ كَبِدِي فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا جَالِسَانِ عِنْدِي وَأَنَا أَبْكِي إِذِ اسْتَأْذَنَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَيَّ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهَا فَجَلَسَتْ مَعِي فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُنْذُ قِيلَ مَا قِيلَ وَقَدْ لَبِثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ ثُمَّ تُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ وَأَنَا امْرَأَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَمْ أَقْرَأْ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي وَاللهِ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ فَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي وَمَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَمَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ اللهَ يُنْزِلُ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيًا وَلَشَأْنِي كَانَ أَحْقَرُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُرِيَ اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ رُؤْيَا فِي النَّوْمِ يُبَرِّئُنِي اللهُ بِهَا فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَخَذَ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ وَهُوَ الْعَرَقُ حِينَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ وَكَانَ إِذَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ أَخَذَهُ الْبُرَحَاءُ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّاتِي مِنْ ثِقَلِ الْقُرْآنِ الَّذِي يُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَسُرِّيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا «أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ اللهُ» فَقُلْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ لَا بِحَمْدِكُمْ قَالَتْ أُمِّي قَوْمِي إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ الْعَشْرِ كُلِّهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا بَعْدَ الَّذِي قَالَ فِي عَائِشَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ} الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ النَّفَقَةَ الَّتِي يُنْفِقُ وَقَالَ لَا أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْكَ أَبَدًا وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ وَلَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ وَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُحَارِبُ فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ خَبَرِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ

    حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَكُلٌّ قد حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا وَبَعْضُهُمْ كَانَ أَوْعَى لِحَدِيثِهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَأَحْسَنَ اقْتِصَاصًا وَبَعْضُهُمْ يُصَدِّقُ حَدِيثَ بَعْضٍ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ قَالَتْ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزَاةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ بَعْدَمَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَنَا أُحْمَلُ فِي هَوْدَجِي وَأُنْزَلُ فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ وَقَفَلَ وَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنُوا بِالرَّحِيلِ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ شَأْنِي أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى الرَّحْلِ فَالْتَمَسْتُ صَدْرِي فَإِذَا عِقْدٌ لِي مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَالْتَمَسْتُ عِقْدِي فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ فَأَقْبَلَ الَّذِينَ يَرْحَلُونَ بِي فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي فَرَحَلُوهُ عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنَّنِي فِيهِ وَكَانَ النِّسَاءُ إِذْ ذَاكَ خِفَافًا لَمْ يَثْقُلْنَ وَلَمْ يُهَبِّلْهُنَّ اللَّحْمُ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلْنَ الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَنْكِرِ الْقَوْمُ حِينَ رَفَعُوهُ ثِقَلَ الْهَوْدَجِ فَاحْتَمَلُوهُ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ فَبَعَثُوا الْجَمَلَ وَسَارُوا وَوَجَدْتُ عِقْدِي بَعْدَمَا اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنْزِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ ثُمَّ الذَّكْوَانِيُّ قَدْ عَرَّسَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَأَتَانِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ نُزُولِ الْحِجَابِ فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ إِلَّا بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ رَآنِي فَوَاللهِ مَا كَلَّمَنِي وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا مُعَرِّسِينَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَهَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَ الْإِفْكِ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ وَقَفَلَ وَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنُوا بِالرَّحِيلِ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ شَأْنِي أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى الرَّحْلِ فَالْتَمَسْتُ صَدْرِي فَإِذَا عِقْدٌ لِي مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَالْتَمَسْتُ عِقْدِي فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ فَأَقْبَلَ الَّذِينَ يَرْحَلُونَ بِي فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي فَرَحَلُوهُ عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنَّنِي فِيهِ وَكَانَ النِّسَاءُ إِذْ ذَاكَ خِفَافًا لَمْ يَثْقُلْنَ وَلَمْ يُهَبِّلْهُنَّ اللَّحْمُ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلْنَ الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَنْكِرِ الْقَوْمُ حِينَ رَفَعُوهُ ثِقَلَ الْهَوْدَجِ فَاحْتَمَلُوهُ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ فَبَعَثُوا الْجَمَلَ وَسَارُوا وَوَجَدْتُ عِقْدِي بَعْدَمَا اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنْزِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ ثُمَّ الذَّكْوَانِيُّ قَدْ عَرَّسَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَأَتَانِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ نُزُولِ الْحِجَابِ فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ إِلَّا بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ رَآنِي فَوَاللهِ مَا كَلَّمَنِي وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا مُعَرِّسِينَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَهَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَ الْإِفْكِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ بِهَا شَهْرًا وَالنَّاسُ يُفِيضُونَ فِي قَوْلِ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ لَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَيَرِيبُنِي فِي وَجَعِي أَنِّي لَا أَرَى مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَاهُ مِنْهُ حِينَ أَمْرَضُ إِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ فَيُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» فَذَلِكَ يَرِيبُنِي وَلَا أَشْعُرُ حَتَّى نَقَهْتُ فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي رُهْمٍ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهِيَ مُتَبَرَّزُنَا لَا نَخْرُجُ إِلَّا مِنْ لَيْلٍ إِلَى لَيْلٍ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ الْكُنُفُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا وَأَمْرُنَا أَمْرُ الْعَرَبِ الْأُوَلِ فِي التَّبَرُّزِ وَأَقْبَلَتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ نَمْشِي فَعَثَرَتْ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ أَتَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا هَنْتَاهُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا إِلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ ائْذَنْ لِي إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ قُلْتُ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَوَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي مَا تَحَدَّثَ بِهِ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَى نَفْسِكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَة قَطُّ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ فَبِتُّ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْرِفُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْوُدِّ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ أَهْلُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَسَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ قَالَتْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «هَلْ عَلِمْتِ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ شَيْئًا يَرِيبُكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنِ الْعَجِينِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلَهُ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ أَجْهَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ وَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا بِالْقِتَالِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ وَبَكَيْتُ يَوْمِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ كَبِدِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذِ اسْتَأْذَنَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهَا فَجَلَسَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدِي وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَقَدْ مَكَثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِي فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا قَالَ قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي قَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ مَا تُحُدِّثَ بِهِ وَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي بِذَلِكَ وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفْتُ لَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ يَعْلَمُ اللهُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا مَا قَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ إِذْ قَالَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} قَالَتْ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يُبَرِّئَنِيَ اللهُ بِبَرَاءَتِي وَلَكِنْ مَا طَمِعْتُ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيٌ يُتْلَى وَلَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَحْقَرَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي اللهُ قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي يَوْمٍ شَاتٍ قَالَتْ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ كَلِمَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا أَنْ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ احْمَدِي اللهَ فَقَدْ بَرَّأَكِ اللهُ» فَقُلْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ لَا بِحَمْدِكُمْ فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي قَوْمِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} الْآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا بَعْدَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَا عَلِمْتِ وَمَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا بِالْوَرَعِ فَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تُحَارِبُ عَنْهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ

    حَيْثُ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللهُ كُلُّهُمْ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا وَبَعْضُهُمْ كَانَ أَوْعَى لِحَدِيثِهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَأَثْبَتَ اقْتِصَاصًا وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمُ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ فَأَقْرَعَ بَيْنَنَا فِي غَزَاةٍ غَزَاهَا فَخَرَجَ سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ بَعْدَمَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَنَا أُحْمَلُ فِي هَوْدَجِي وَأُنْزَلُ فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ وَقَفَلَ دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنُوا بِالرَّحِيلِ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا

فَقَالَتْ يَا هَنْتَاهُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا عَلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» فَقُلْتُ ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَبَوَيَّ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَوَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي مَا يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهِ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ الشَّأْنَ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَة قَطُّ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَقَدْ يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ فَبِتُّ لَيْلَتِي تِلْكَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْوُدِّ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْلُكَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَسَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ شَيْئًا يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنِ الْعَجِينِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلَهُ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ «مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي قَالَهُ ثَلَاثًا فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْنَا عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا بِهِ أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَكَانَ سَيِّدَ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنِ احْتَمَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرِ بْنِ سِمَاكٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَثَارَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا وَسَكَتَ وَبَكَيْتُ يَوْمِي وَلَيْلَتِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَجَلَسَ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَقَدْ مَكَثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ فِي شَأْنِي فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ

قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ مَا تُحُدِّثَ بِهِ وَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ فَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي بِذَلِكَ وَلَئِنِ

مِسْطَحٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ سَأَلَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَا عَلِمْتِ مَا رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ وَكَانَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ تُحَارِبُ عَنْهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ

    ✧ Where the people of the slander said about her what they said, and God declared her innocent of all of it. A group narrated to me parts of her account, and some of them were more retentive of her account than others and more precise in its presentation. I have retained from each one of them the hadith that he narrated to me from Aisha. Aisha said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ intended a journey, he would cast lots among his wives, and whichever of them the lot fell upon, he took her with him. He cast lots among us for a military expedition he undertook, and my lot came out, so I went out with him after the veil had been prescribed. I was carried in my howdah and set down in it. When the Messenger of God ﷺ finished that expedition of his and returned, and we drew near Madinah, he announced one night the departure. I got up when they announced departure and walked until I passed beyond the army. When I had finished my business, I came back to the camp and felt for my chest, and found that a necklace of mine made of Yemeni onyx beads had broken. I went back searching for my necklace, and the search for it detained me. Then the people who were saddling my camel came and lifted my howdah and loaded it onto my camel that I used to ride, thinking that I was in it. Women in those days were light, not heavy, and flesh had not weighed them down; they ate only a morsel of food. So the people did not find the howdah heavy when they lifted it, and they loaded it. I was a girl of tender age. They set the camel going and departed. I found my necklace after the army had gone on. I came to their campsite and there was no one in it. I went to the place where I had been staying, thinking that they would miss me and come back to me. While I was sitting in my place, sleep overcame me and I slept. Safwan b. al-Mu'attal al-Sulami, then al-Dhakwani, had halted in the rear of the army and then set off in the night. He reached my place in the morning and saw the dark shape of a sleeping person. He came to me, and he had seen me before the veil. I woke up at his saying 'Indeed we belong to God and to Him we shall return.' By God, he did not speak a word to me, nor did I hear from him any word other than his utterance of 'Indeed we belong to God and to Him we shall return,' until he made his mount kneel and stepped on its foreleg, and I mounted it. He set off leading the mount with me until we reached the army after they had halted to rest in the midday heat. Then those who perished perished. The one who took upon himself the greater part of the slander was Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul. We arrived in Madinah, and I fell ill there for a month. The people were spreading the talk of the slanderers while I was unaware of any of that. What troubled me during my illness was that I did not recognize from the Messenger of God the gentleness I used to see from him when I was sick. He would only enter, greet, and then say, 'How is that one of yours?' That troubled me, and I was unaware of anything until I recovered. I went out with Umm Mistah toward the open area for relieving ourselves. We did not go out except from night to night, and that was before privies were built near our houses. Our practice was the practice of the early Arabs in going out to relieve themselves. I and Umm Mistah bt. Abi Ruhm were returning after we had finished our business, walking, when Umm Mistah stumbled over her long garment and said, 'May Mistah perish!' I said to her, 'How bad is what you said! Do you revile a man who was present at Badr?' She said, 'O you there, have you not heard what he said?' I said, 'And what did he say?' She informed me of what the slanderers said, and I became more ill on top of my illness. When I returned to my house, the Messenger of God entered and said, 'How is that one of yours?' I said, 'Permit me to go to my parents.' She said: At that time I wanted to ascertain the news from them. The Messenger of God permitted me, so I went to my parents and said to my mother, 'What are the people talking about?' She said, 'My little daughter, take the matter lightly. By God, there is rarely a woman who is beautiful and loved by a husband who has co-wives but that they speak much against her.' I said, 'Glory be to God! Have the people really been talking about this?' She said: I spent that night until morning, with my tears not ceasing and no sleep touching my eyes. In the morning, the Messenger of God ﷺ called Ali b. Abi Talib and Usama b. Zayd, when the revelation was slow in coming, to consult them about separating from his wife. She said: As for Usama, he advised him according to what he knew of the innocence of his wife and what he knew in himself of affection for them. Usama said, 'O Messenger of God, she is your wife, and we know nothing but good.' As for Ali, he said, 'O Messenger of God, God has not made things narrow for you; women other than her are many. Ask the servant girl, and she will tell you the truth.' The Messenger of God called Barira and said to her, 'Have you seen anything from Aisha that troubles you?' Barira said, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have not seen anything from her that I could fault her for, except that she is a young girl who sleeps over the dough until the domestic animal comes and eats it.' She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ stood up that same day and sought to be excused from Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul. The Messenger of God said, 'Who will excuse me from a man whose harm to my family has reached me?' He said it three times. 'By God, I know nothing but good about my family, and they have mentioned a man about whom I know nothing but good, and he never enters upon my family except with me.' Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said, 'I, by God, O Messenger of God, will excuse you from him. If he is from the Aws, we will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers of the Khazraj, you will command us and we will do to him as you command.' Sa'd b. Ubada stood up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj. He had been a righteous man before that, but zeal overcame him. He said, 'You have lied, by God's life, you will not kill him, and you cannot kill him.' Usayd b. Hudayr b. Simak stood up and said to Sa'd b. Ubada, 'You have lied, by God's life, he will surely kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of hypocrites.' The two tribes, Aws and Khazraj, rose up in excitement while the Messenger of God was standing on the pulpit, calming them until they fell silent, and he fell silent. I wept that day and night, my tears not ceasing and no sleep touching my eyes, until I thought that weeping would split my liver. While I was weeping, a woman of the Ansar asked permission to enter, and I permitted her. She sat weeping with me. While we were like that, the Messenger of God entered and sat down, and he had not sat with me since what was said about me had been said. A month had passed and nothing had been revealed to him concerning my affair. The Messenger of God recited the testimony of faith, then said, 'To proceed, O Aisha, I have received such and such about you. If you are innocent, God will declare you innocent, and if you have committed a sin, then ask God for forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant acknowledges a sin and then repents, God turns to him in forgiveness.' When the Messenger of God finished his speech, my tears stopped until I felt not a drop of them. I said to my father, 'Answer the Messenger of God regarding what he said.' He said, 'By God, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of God.' I said the same to my mother, and she said the same. I said, while I was a young girl who did not recite much of the Quran, 'By God, I know that you have heard what has been talked about, and it has settled in your hearts, and you have believed it. If I say that I am innocent, and God knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me in that. And if I confess to you a matter, and God knows that I am innocent of it, you will surely believe me. By God, I find no likeness for me and for you except what Abu Yusuf said: {So patience is most fitting.} And I was a young girl who did not recite much of the Quran.' Then I turned on my bed, hoping that God would declare me innocent of what I was innocent of. But by God, I did not think that revelation would be sent down concerning my affair, recitation that would be recited. For I considered myself too insignificant for Quran to be revealed about me. But I hoped that God would show His Messenger a dream in which He would declare me innocent. She said: By God, the Messenger of God had not left his seat, nor had anyone of the household gone out, when revelation came down upon him. He was seized by the intense distress that used to seize him at the time of revelation, until drops like pearls on a cold day were dripping from him. Then it was lifted from him while he was smiling. The first thing he said was, 'O Aisha, praise God, for God has declared you innocent.' My mother said to me, 'Get up and go to the Messenger of God ﷺ.' I said, 'No, by God, I will not get up to him, and I will not praise anyone but God, may He be glorified and exalted.' And God sent down {Indeed, those who came with the slander} and the rest of the verses. When God sent down this concerning my innocence, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who had been spending on Mistah b. Uthatha because of his kinship with him, said, 'By God, I will never spend anything on Mistah after what he said about Aisha.' Then God sent down this verse: {And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give...} to the end of the verse. Abu Bakr said, 'Yes, I would love for God to forgive me,' and he returned to giving Mistah what he used to spend on him. She said: The Messenger of God had asked Zaynab bt. Jahsh about my affair, saying, 'O Zaynab, what do you know and what have you seen?' She said, 'I protect my hearing and my sight. By God, I know nothing but good about her.' Aisha said: She was the one among the Prophet's wives ﷺ who used to rival me. God protected her through piety. Her sister Hamna used to fight on her behalf, and she perished among those who perished.

سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَأَتَانِي فَعَرَفَنِي حِينَ رَآنِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ الْحِجَابُ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ عَرَفَنِي فَخَمَّرْتُ وَجْهِي بِجِلْبَابِي فَمَا كَلَّمَنِي كَلِمَةً وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حَتَّى أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ بِي يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا فَهَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَ الْإِفْكِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ شَهْرًا وَالنَّاسُ يُفِيضُونَ فِي قَوْلِ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ لَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَرِيبُنِي فِي وَجَعِي أَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَى مِنْهُ حِينَ أَشْتَكِي إِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَذَلِكَ يَرِيبُنِي وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِالشَّرِّ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ بَعْدَمَا أَفَقْتُ وَخَرَجَتْ مَعِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قِبَلَ الْمَنَاصِعِ وَهُوَ مُتَبَرَّزُنَا وَكُنَّا لَا نَخْرُجُ إِلَّا لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ الْكُنُفُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا وَأَمْرُنَا أَمْرُ الْعَرَبِ الْأُوَلِ فِي التَّنَزُّهِ قِبَلَ الْغَائِطِ وَكُنَّا نَتَأَذَّى بِالْكُنُفِ أَنْ نَتَّخِذَهَا عِنْدَ بُيُوتِنَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ أَبِي رُهْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَأُمُّهَا أُمُّ صَخْرٍ بِنْتُ عَامِرٍ خَالَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَابْنُهَا مِسْطَحُ بْنُ أُثَاثَةَ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قِبَلَ بَيْتِي حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ تَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ قَالَتْ يَا هَنْتَاهُ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا عَلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» قُلْتُ لَهُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَبَوَيَّ؟ وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَذِنَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجِئْتُ لِأُمِّي فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ مَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ مَنْ يُحِبُّهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ فَبَكَيْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ فَشَاوَرَهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَبِالَّذِيِ كَانَ فِي نَفْسِهِ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ أَهْلُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْخَادِمَ تَصْدُقْكَ قَالَتْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَيْ بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ حَمَلَتْهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَتْ فَتَثَاوَرَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ حَتَّى هَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتَتِلُوا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ

فَجَلَسَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسَ قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا وَلَقَدْ لَبِثَ شَهْرًا لَا يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَتْ فَتَشَهَّدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ حِينَ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنَبِهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي حَتَّى مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي وَلَئِنِ اعْتَرَفْتُ لَكُمْ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُصَدِّقُنَّنِي وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ قَالَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} قَالَتْ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْتُ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ حِينَئِذٍ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ سَيُبَرِّئُنِي بِبَرَاءَتِي وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللهَ يُنْزِلُ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيًا يُتْلَى وَلَشَأْنِي كَانَ أَحْقَرَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي اللهُ بِهَا قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ مَا كَانَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنَ الْبُرَحَاءِ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ

فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى وَاللهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ النَّفَقَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْهُ أَبَدًا قَالَتْ

هَلَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ خَبَرِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ ؓ

    (the wife of the Prophet) "Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go on a journey, he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take with him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his, he drew lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me, and I proceeded with him after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried in a Howdah (on the camel) and dismounted while still in it. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was through with his Ghazwa and returned home, and we approached the city of Medina, Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to proceed at night. When the order of setting off was given, I walked till I was past the army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I returned (to the camp) to depart (with the others) and suddenly realized that my necklace over my chest was missing. So, I returned to look for it and was delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on the camel, came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel, thinking that I was in it, as, at that time, women were light in weight, and thin and lean, and did not use to eat much. So, those people did not feel the difference in the heaviness of the Howdah while lifting it, and they put it over the camel. At that time I was a young lady. They set the camel moving and proceeded on. I found my necklace after the army had gone, and came to their camp to find nobody. So, I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would discover my absence and come back in my search. While in that state, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Mu'attal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army and reached my abode in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person, he came to me, and he used to see me before veiling. So, I got up when I heard him saying, "Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun (We are for Allah, and we will return to Him)." He made his camel knell down. He got down from his camel, and put his leg on the front legs of the camel and then I rode and sat over it. Safwan set out walking, leading the camel by the rope till we reached the army who had halted to take rest at midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell into destruction, (some people accused me falsely) and the leader of the false accusers was ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After that we returned to Medina, and I became ill for one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the false accusers. I was feeling during my ailment as if I were not receiving the usual kindness from the Prophet ﷺ which I used to receive from him when I got sick. But he would come, greet and say, 'How is that (girl)?' I did not know anything of what was going on till I recovered from my ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used to answer the call of nature, and we used not to go to answer the call of nature except from night to night and that was before we had lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habit of the old 'Arabs in the open country (or away from houses). So. I and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled because of her long dress and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a man who took part in (the battle of) Badr?' She said, 'O Hanata (you there) didn't you hear what they said?' Then she told me the rumors of the false accusers. My sickness was aggravated, and when I returned home, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me, and after greeting he said, 'How is that (girl)?' I requested him to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be sure of the news through them I Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed me, and I went to my parents and asked my mother, 'What are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry much about this matter. By Allah, never is there a charming woman loved by her husband who has other wives, but the women would forge false news about her.' I said, 'Glorified be Allah! Are the people really taking of this matter?' That night I kept on weeping and could not sleep till morning. In the morning Messenger of Allah ﷺ called ʿAli bin Abu Talib and Usama bin Zaid when he saw the Divine Inspiration delayed, to consul them about divorcing his wife (i.e. ʿAisha). Usama bin Zaid said what he knew of the good reputation of his wives and added, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Keep you wife, for, by Allah, we know nothing about her but good.' ʿAli bin Abu Talib said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allah has no imposed restrictions on you, and there are many women other than she, yet you may ask the woman-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Barirah and said, 'O Barirah. Did you ever see anything which roused your suspicions about her?' Barirah said, 'No, by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth, I have never seen in her anything faulty except that she is a girl of immature age, who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough for the goats to eat.' On that day Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in punishing ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who will support me to punish that person (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) who has hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By Allah, I know nothing about my family but good, and they have accused a person about whom I know nothing except good, and he never entered my house except in my company.' Saʿd bin Muʿadh got up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! by Allah, I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the Aus, then we will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers, the Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that Saʿd bin 'Ubada, the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident, he had been a pious man, got up, motivated by his zeal for his tribe and said, 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you cannot kill him, and you will never be able to kill him.' On that Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up and said (to Saʿd bin 'Ubada), 'By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah, we will kill him; and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites.' On this the two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to fight each other, while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. He got down and quieted them till they became silent and he kept quiet. On that day I kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two nights and a day, till I thought my liver would burst from weeping. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked my permission to enter, and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they forged the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him for a month. He recited Tashah-hud (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said, 'O ʿAisha! I have been informed such-and-such about you; if you are innocent, then Allah will soon reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you, for when a person confesses his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah accepts his repentance.' When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his speech my tears ceased completely and there remained not even a single drop of it. I requested my father to reply to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf. My father said, By Allah, I do not know what to say to Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' I said to my mother, 'Talk to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my behalf.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle. I was a young girl and did not have much knowledge of the Qur'an. I said. 'I know, by Allah, that you have listened to what people are saying and that has been planted in your minds and you have taken it as a truth. Now, if I told you that I am innocent and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would not believe me and if I confessed to you falsely that I am guilty, and Allah knows that I am innocent you would believe me. By Allah, I don't compare my situation with you except to the situation of Joseph's father (i.e. Jacob) who said, 'So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which you assert and it is Allah (Alone) whose help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side of my bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah I never thought that Allah would reveal Divine Inspiration in my case, as I considered myself too inferior to be talked of in the Holy Qur'an. I had hoped that Messenger of Allah ﷺ might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not got up and nobody had left the house before the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Apostle. So, there overtook him the same state which used to overtake him, (when he used to have, on being inspired divinely). He was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When that state of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was over, he was smiling and the first word he said, ʿAisha! Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your innocence.' My mother told me to go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I replied, 'By Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah.' So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you..." (24.11) When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence, Abu Bakr, who used to provide for Mistah bin Uthatha for he was his relative, said, 'By Allah, I will never provide Mistah with anything because of what he said about Aisha.' But Allah later revealed: -- "And let not those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to help their kinsmen, those in need and those who left their homes in Allah's Cause. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." (24.22) After that Abu Bakr said, 'Yes ! By Allah! I like that Allah should forgive me,' and resumed helping Mistah whom he used to help before. Messenger of Allah ﷺ also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. the Prophet's wife about me saying, 'What do you know and what did you see?' She replied, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I have not heard or seen. By Allah, I know nothing except goodness about Aisha." Aisha further added "Zainab was competing with me (in her beauty and the Prophet's love), yet Allah protected her (from being malicious), for she had piety." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2661)

    كُنْتُ عِنْدَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِيِ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ النُّورِ مُسْتَلْقِيًا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَنْ تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ أَلَيْسَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ؟ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ لَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَا لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَلْقَى مِنْهُ شَرًّا وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَقَدْ عَوَّدَنِيَ اللهُ عَلَى الصِّدْقِ خَيْرًا لَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِقَضِيبِهِ السَّرِيرَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ فَمَنْ؟ حَتَّى رَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَبَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَحْسَنُ سِيَاقًا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَكُلٌّ قَدْ حَفِظَ حَدِيثَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ إِنَّ عَلِيًّا أَشَارَ فِي شَأْنِي وَاللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَغَزَا غَزْوَةَ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَسَاهَمَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَخَرَجَ سَهْمِي فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ بَعْدَمَا أُنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَنَا أُحْمَلُ فِي هَوْدَجِي وَأُنْزَلُ مِنْهُ فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ غَزْوَتِهِ تِلْكَ قَفَلَ وَدَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ آذَنَ لَيْلَةً بِالرَّحِيلِ فَقُمْتُ حِينَ آذَنَ بِالرَّحِيلِ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى جَاوَزْتُ الْجَيْشَ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ شَأْنِي وَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى رَحْلِي إِذَا عِقْدٌ لِي مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ فِي الْتِمَاسِ عِقْدِي فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الرَّهْطُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرْحَلُونَ فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنِّي فِيهِ وَكُنَّ النِّسَاءُ إِذْ ذَاكَ خِفَافًا لَمْ يُهَبِّلْهُنَّ اللَّحْمُ إِنَّمَا تَأْكُلُ إِحْدَانَا الْعُلْقَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَنْكِرِ الْقَوْمُ خِفَّةَ الْهَوْدَجِ حِينَ رَفَعُوهُ وَكُنْتُ جَارِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ فَبَعَثُوا الْجَمَلَ وَسَارُوا وَوَجَدْتُ عِقْدِي بَعْدَمَا اسْتَمَرَّ الْجَيْشُ فَجِئْتُ مَنْزِلَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونِي فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ ثُمَّ الذَّكْوَانِيُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ فَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ نَائِمٍ فَعَرَفَنِي حِينَ رَآنِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ الْحِجَابِ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ عَرَفَنِي فَخَمَّرْتُ وَجْهِي بِجِلْبَابِي وَاللهِ مَا كَلَّمَنِي كَلَامًا وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ كَلِمَةً غَيْرَ اسْتِرْجَاعِهِ حِينَ أَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى يَدِهَا فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِيَ الرَّاحِلَةَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْجَيْشَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلُوا مُوغِرِينَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَهَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَ الْإِثْمِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ حِينَ قَدِمْنَا شَهْرًا وَالنَّاسُ يُفِيضُونَ فِي قَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ يَرِيبُنِي فِي وَجَعِي أَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ اللُّطْفَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرَى مِنْهُ حِينَ أَشْتَكِي إِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَذَلِكَ يَرِيبُنِي وَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِالشَّرِّ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ بَعْدَمَا نَقَهْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قِبَلَ بَيْتِي حِينَ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ شَأْنِنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ أَتَسُبِّينَ رَجُلًا قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ قَالَتْ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِقَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ فَازْدَدْتُ مَرَضًا عَلَى مَرَضِي فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» وَأَنَا حِينَئِذٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَيْقِنَ الْخَبَرَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَجِئْتُ إِلَى أُمِّي وَأَبِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ مَا يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَتْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ هَوِّنِي عَلَيْكِ فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَضِيئَةً عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا أَكْثَرْنَ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ فَبَكَيْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ أَبْكِي وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالَّذِيِ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَالَّذِي يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِهِ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْلُكَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ «يَا بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟» قَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْرًا قَطُّ أَغْمِصُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَاسْتَعْذَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَوَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فَفَعَلْنَا أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْخَزْرَجِ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا وَلَكِنْ أَخَذْتُهُ الْحَمِيَّةُ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ مُنَافِقٌ تُجَادِلُ عَنِ

اللهَ مُبَرِّئِي بِبَرَاءَتِي وَلَكِنْ وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللهَ يُنْزِلُ فِي شَأْنِي وَحْيًا يُتْلَى لَشَأْنِي فِي نَفْسِي كَانَ أَحْقَرَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُرِيَ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي بِهَا قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا رَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى

قَوْمِي إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَمَا أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا اللهَ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} الْعَشْرَ الْآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ نَفَقَةَ شَيْءٍ أَبَدًا لِلَّذِي قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ

يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَنْزِعُهُ مِنْهُ أَبَدًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ يَسْأَلُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ عَنْ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْنَبُ مَاذَا عَلِمْتِ أَوْ رَأَيْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ أَحْمِي سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِالْوَرَعِ وَطَفِقَتْ أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ تُحَارِبُ لَهَا فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْإِفْكِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَهَذَا مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ

    ✧ I was with al-Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik one night as he was reciting Surat al-Nur while reclining. When he reached {Indeed, those who came with the slander are a group among you} until he reached {And the one who took upon himself the greater part of it will have a great punishment}, he sat up and said, 'O Abu Bakr, who took upon himself the greater part of it? Was it not 'Ali b. Abi Talib?' I said to myself, 'What should I say? If I say no, I fear I will encounter evil from him, and if I say yes, I will have brought a grave matter against a man from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, something he did not say.' Then I said to myself, 'Allah has accustomed me to truthfulness for good.' 'No, O Commander of the Faithful.' He struck the bed with his staff two or three times, then said, 'Then who?' He repeated that several times. I said, 'O Commander of the Faithful, 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul.' 'Urwa b. al-Zubayr, Sa'id b. al-Musayyab, 'Alqama b. Waqqas, and 'Ubayd Allah b. 'Abd Allah b. 'Utba narrated to me, and some of the people had better wording than others, but each of them memorized his hadith, that 'A'isha said: 'Ali made a suggestion concerning my affair, may Allah forgive him. Then she said: When the Messenger of Allah intended a journey, he would cast lots among his wives. He went on the expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq and drew lots among his wives, and my lot came out, so I went out with the Messenger of Allah after the hijab had been revealed. I was carried in my howdah and taken down from it. We traveled until when the Messenger of Allah finished that expedition and returned, and we drew near to Madinah, he announced departure one night. I got up when he announced departure and walked until I passed beyond the army. When I had finished my business and came back to my mount, I noticed that a necklace of mine made of onyx of Zafar had broken, so I went back searching for my necklace, and that search detained me. The group that was loading the mounts came and lifted my howdah onto my camel that I used to ride, thinking that I was in it. Women at that time were light, not weighed down by flesh, for one of us would eat only a morsel of food, so the people did not find the lightness of the howdah strange when they lifted it. I was a young girl of recent age. They sent the camel off and departed. I found my necklace after the army had gone on. I came to their camp, and there was no one to call or answer. I made for my place where I had been, thinking that they would miss me and come back to me. While I was sitting in my place, sleep overcame me and I slept. Safwan b. al-Mu'attal al-Sulami, then al-Dhakwani, was behind the army. He traveled through the night and reached my place in the morning. He saw the black shape of a sleeping person and recognized me when he saw me, for he used to see me before the hijab. I woke up at his istirja' when he recognized me, and I covered my face with my jilbab. By Allah, he did not speak a word to me, nor did I hear from him anything except his istirja' when he made his mount kneel and stepped on its foreleg, so I mounted it, and he set off leading the mount with me until he brought me to the army after they had stopped in the intense midday heat. Then those who perished among the people of the slander perished. The one who took upon himself the greater part of the sin was 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul. We arrived in Madinah, and I fell ill for a month after our arrival. The people were spreading the words of the slanderers while I was unaware of any of that, and what made me suspicious in my illness was that I did not recognize from the Messenger of Allah the gentleness that I used to see from him when I was ill. He would only enter upon me and say, "How is this one of you?" then leave. That made me suspicious, but I did not know of the evil until I went out after I had recovered, I and Umm Mistah, toward my house when we had finished our business. Umm Mistah stumbled and said, 'May Mistah perish.' I said, 'What a bad thing you have said. Do you revile a man who witnessed Badr?' She said, 'O you, have you not heard what he said?' I said, 'And what did he say?' She told me about the slander of the people of the lie, and I became more ill on top of my illness. When I returned to my house, the Messenger of Allah entered upon me and said, "How is this one of you?" I said, 'Will you permit me to go to my parents?' He said, "Yes." At that time I wanted to ascertain the news from them, so he permitted me, and I went to my mother and father. I said, 'O mother, what are the people talking about?' She said, 'O my daughter, take it lightly. By Allah, seldom is a beautiful woman loved by a man who has co-wives but that they speak much against her.' I said, 'Glory be to Allah! Have the people really spoken of this?' She said, 'Yes.' I cried that night until morning, my tears did not stop, and I did not taste sleep. Then I continued crying in the morning. The Messenger of Allah called 'Ali b. Abi Talib and Usama b. Zayd when the revelation was delayed, to consult them about separating from his wife. As for Usama, he indicated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he knew of the innocence of his wife and what he knew in his heart of affection for them, and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, she is your family, and we know nothing but good.' As for 'Ali b. Abi Talib, he said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah has not put you in difficulty, and there are many women besides her. If you ask the servant girl, she will tell you the truth.' So the Messenger of Allah called Barira and said, "O Barira, have you seen anything suspicious?" Barira said, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything against her that I could fault, except that she is a young girl who falls asleep over her family's dough, and the domestic animal comes and eats it.' On that day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the pulpit and sought someone to excuse him from 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy b. Salul, saying, "O people of Islam, who will excuse me from a man whose harm has reached me in my family? By Allah, I know nothing about my family but good, and they have mentioned a man about whom I know nothing but good, and he used not to enter upon my family except with me." Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I will excuse you from him. If he is from the Aws, I will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers of the Khazraj, you command us and we will do as you command.' Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj that day, and before that he had been a righteous man, but zeal took hold of him, and he said to Sa'd b. Mu'adh, 'You lie, by the life of Allah, you will not kill him, and you are not able to kill him.' Usayd b. Hudayr, who was the cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh, stood up and said to Sa'd b. 'Ubada, 'You lie, by the life of Allah, he will certainly kill him, for you are a hypocrite arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.' She said: The two tribes, Aws and Khazraj, were stirred up until they were about to fight, while the Messenger of Allah was standing on the pulpit. He kept calming them until they fell silent, and he fell silent. She said: I wept that day, my tears did not stop, and I did not taste sleep, and my parents were with me. I had wept for two nights and a day, thinking that weeping would split my liver. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping, a woman of the Ansar asked permission to enter, and I gave her permission, and she sat weeping with me. While we were in that state, the Messenger of Allah entered upon us and sat down. She said: He had not sat with me since what was said to me had been said, and a month had passed without revelation concerning my affair. She said: When he sat, the Messenger of Allah pronounced the tashahhud, then said, "To proceed, O 'A'isha, it has reached me about you such and such. If you are innocent, Allah will declare your innocence, but if you have committed a sin, then ask Allah for forgiveness and repent to Him, for when a servant admits his sin and then repents to Allah, Allah turns to him in forgiveness." She said: When the Messenger of Allah finished his words, my tears dried up until I felt not a drop of them. I said to my father, 'Answer the Messenger of Allah about what he said.' He said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah.' I said to my mother, 'Answer the Messenger of Allah.' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah.' I said, though I was a young girl who did not recite much of the Qur'an, 'By Allah, you have heard this talk until it has settled in your hearts and you have believed it. If I tell you that I am innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me about that. But if I admit a sin, while Allah knows that I am innocent, you will certainly believe me. By Allah, I find no example for myself and for you except the father of Yusuf, when he said, {So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the one sought for help against what you describe}.' Then I turned and lay down on my bed, knowing then that I was innocent and that Allah would declare my innocence. But by Allah, I did not think that Allah would send down revelation concerning my affair that would be recited, for my affair in my own estimation was too insignificant for Allah to speak about me in a matter to be recited. Rather, I hoped that Allah would show His Messenger a vision in sleep by which He would declare my innocence. She said: By Allah, the Messenger of Allah did not leave his seat, nor did anyone of the household leave, until Allah sent down revelation upon him, and he was seized by what used to seize him of the intense experience, until drops of sweat like pearls flowed from him on a cold day because of the weight of the Qur'an that was being revealed to him. When the Messenger of Allah was relieved, he was relieved while smiling. The first word he spoke was, "O 'A'isha, as for Allah, He has declared your innocence." My mother said to me, 'Get up and go to him.' I said, 'No, by Allah, I will not get up and go to him, and I praise none but Allah.' And Allah sent down {Indeed, those who came with the slander are a group among you}, the ten verses in full. When Allah sent down this concerning my innocence, Abu Bakr, who used to spend on Mistah because of their kinship and his poverty, said, 'By Allah, I will never spend anything on Mistah again, because of what he said about 'A'isha.' So Allah sent down {And let not those of virtue and wealth among you swear not to give...} the verse. Abu Bakr said, 'By Allah, I love that Allah should forgive me,' and he resumed the spending on Mistah that he used to give, and said, 'By Allah, I will never withdraw it from him.' 'A'isha said: The Messenger of Allah asked Zaynab bt. Jahsh about my affair, saying, "O Zaynab, what do you know or have you seen?" Zaynab said, 'I protect my hearing and my sight. By Allah, I know nothing but good.' She was the one who rivaled me among the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, but Allah protected her through piety. Her sister Hamna began to fight on her behalf and perished among those who perished from the people of the slander. Al-Zuhri said: This is what has reached us from the hadith of these people.

فَحَبَسَنِي ابْتِغَاؤُهُ وَأَقْبَلَ الرَّهْطُ الَّذِينَ يَرْحَلُونَ هَوْدَجِي فَاحْتَمَلُوا هَوْدَجِي وَهُمْ يَحْسِبُونَ أَنِّي فِيهِ فَرَحَلُونِي عَلَى بَعِيرِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقُوا يَقُودُونَهُ فَجِئْتُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ لَيْسَ بِهَا دَاعٍ وَلَا مُجِيبٌ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ مَنْزِلِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ بِهِ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَفْقِدُونَنِي فَيَبْغُونِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسَةٌ فِي مَنْزِلِي غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَنِمْتُ فَأَقْبَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ وَكَانَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَ فَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ مَنْزِلِي فَرَأَى سَوَادَ إِنْسَانٍ فَعَرَفَنِي وَكَانَ يَرَانِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِاسْتِرْجَاعِهِ فَأَنَاخَ لِي رَاحِلَتَهُ فَوَطِئَ لِي فَرَكِبْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ يَقُودُ بِي حَتَّى جِئْنَا النَّاسَ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَقَدْ هَلَكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ اشْتَكَيْتُ شَهْرًا لَا أَشْعُرُ بِالشَّرِّ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَرِيبُنِي أَنِّي لَا أَرَى مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ اللُّطْفَ

يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مِنَ الْوُدِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْلُكَ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلِ الْخَادِمَ تَصْدُقْكَ قَالَتْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ «أَيْ بَرِيرَةُ هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ أَمْرٍ قَطُّ أَغْمِصُهَا بِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ فَتَنَامُ فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُ الْعَجِينَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَرَقَى فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا

تَقْتُلُهُ وَلَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ لَيَقْتُلَنَّهُ قَالَتْ فَتَثَاوَرَ الْحَيَّانِ الْأَوْسُ وَالْخَزْرَجُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ يُخَفِّضُهُمْ وَيُسْكِتُهُمْ حَتَّى سَكَتُوا قَالَتْ فَبَكَيْتُ لَيْلَتِي لَا يَرْقَأُ لِي دَمْعٌ وَلَا أَكْتَحِلُ بِنَوْمٍ وَأَصْبَحَ عِنْدِي أَبَوَايَ يَظُنَّانِ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ كَبِدِي فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا عِنْدِي وَأَنَا أَبْكِي اسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَيَّ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَلَسَتْ تَبْكِي مَعِي فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ وَاللهِ مَا قَعَدَ عِنْدِي مُنْذُ قِيلَ لِي مَا قِيلَ قَبْلَهَا فَتَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاعْتَرِفِي وَتُوبِي إِلَى اللهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرِي فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبٍ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ مَقَالَتَهُ قَلَصَ دَمْعِي مَا أُحِسُّ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّهْ أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَهْ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا أَقُولُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ لَا أَقْرَأُ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَصَدَّقْتُمْ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَبَرِيئَةٌ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَا تُصَدِّقُونِي وَلَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا قَوْلَ أَبِي يُوسُفَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَى الْجِدَارِ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ وَلَنَفْسِي كَانَتْ أَحْقَرَ عِنْدِي مِنْ أَنْ يُنْزِلَ اللهُ فِيَّ وَحْيًا وَتِلَاوَةً وَلَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنْ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللهِ رُؤْيَا فَيُبَرِّئُنِي اللهُ بِهَا قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَلَا رَامَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَخَذَتْهُ الْبُرَحَاءُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَأْخُذُهُ حِينَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيَتَحَدَّرُ مِنْهُ مِثْلُ الْجُمَانِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّاتِي مِنْ ثِقَلِ الْوَحْيِ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ «يَا

مِنْهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحِ بْنِ أُثَاثَةَ لِقَرَابَتِهِ وَيُتْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللهِ لَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ} الْآيَةَ {أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ} فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ فَرَدَّ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ

    لَقَدْ تَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَشَاعَ وَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فِيهِ خَطِيبًا وَمَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَلَى جَارِيَةٍ لِي نُوبِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ «مَا تَعْلَمِينَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ؟» فَقَالَتْ مَا أَعْلَمُ عَلَيْهَا عَيْبًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا تَنَامُ فَتَدْخُلُ الشَّاةُ فَتَأْكُلُ خَمِيرَتَهَا وَحَصِيرَهَا فَقَالَ «لَسْتُ عَنْ هَذَا أَسْأَلُكِ» قَالَتْ فَعَمَّهْ فَلَمَّا فَطِنَتْ قَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَمَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعْلَمُ الصَّائِغُ مِنَ التِّبْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي قَوْمٍ أَبَنُوا أَهْلِي مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سُوءٍ قَطُّ وَأَبَنُوهُمْ بِمَنْ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ قَطُّ وَلَا تَغَيَّبْتُ قَطُّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ مَعِي وَلَا دَخَلَ بَيْتِي قَطُّ إِلَّا وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ» فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ أَرَى أَنْ يُضْرَبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ كَذَبْتَ وَاللهِ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانُوا مِنْ رَهْطِكَ مَا أَمَرْتَ بِقَتْلِهِمْ وَكَانَ حَسَّانُ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ حَتَّى كَانَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ كَوْنٌ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ يَذِيعُهُ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَمِسْطَحُ بْنُ أُثَاثَةَ وَحَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فِي آخَرِينَ وَكَانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهِ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ فَيَسْمَعُهُ فَيَسْتَوْشِيهِ وَيَذِيعُهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَخَرَجْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ أُمِّ مِسْطَحٍ لِحَاجَتِي فَبَيْنَمَا نَمْشِي إِذْ عَثَرَتْ فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَلَى منَ تَسُبِّينَ ابْنَكِ مِسْطَحًا وَهُوَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَقَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟ ثُمَّ مَشَتْ سَاعَةً فَعَثَرَتْ فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَسُبُّهُ إِلَّا فِيكِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وَمَا شَأْنِي؟ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي بِالْأَمْرِ فَذَهَبْتُ حَاجَتِي فَرَجَعْتُ فَحُمِمْتُ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا شَأْنُكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟» قُلْتُ حُمَمَةٌ فَائْذَنْ لِي فَآتِي أَبَوَيَّ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا أُمِّي أَسْفَلُ وَأَبِي فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي مَا شَأْنُكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ أَمَا سَمِعْتِ بِهِ إِلَّا الْآنَ؟ فَبَكَيْتُ وَبَكَتْ وَسَمِعَ أَبِي الْبُكَاءَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ ابْنَتِي؟ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْأَمْرِ الْآنَ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى نَغْدُوَ عَلَيْكِ غَدًا فَجَاءَ مِنَ الْغَدِ وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَكَانَهَا أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَسَأْتِ وَأَخْطَأْتِ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ وَتُوبِي» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي تَكَلَّمْ فَقَالَ بِمَ أَتَكَلَّمُ؟ قُلْتُ لِأُمِّي تَكَلَّمِي قَالَتْ بِمَ أَتَكَلَّمُ؟ فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ وَأَثْنَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلْتُ لَتَقُولُنَّ قَدْ أَقَرَّتْ وَمَا فَعَلْتُ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلْتُ لَتَقُولُنَّ كَذَبَتْ وَلَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا مَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ}

    ✧ The people indeed spoke about this matter and it spread, and the Messenger of Allah stood up as a preacher concerning it, and I was not aware of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered, along with a group of his companions, upon a Nubian slave girl of mine, and the Messenger of Allah said, “What do you know about Aisha?” She said, “I know of no fault in her except that she sleeps and the sheep enters and eats her dough and her mat.” He said, “I am not asking you about this.” She said, “Then what about?” When she understood, she said, “Glory be to Allah! I know of Aisha only as the goldsmith knows the pure red gold.” Then the Prophet ﷺ went out, praised Allah and extolled Him, then said, “Advise me, O assembly of Muslims, concerning a people who have maligned my family, while I have never known any evil in them, and they have maligned them by one who, by Allah, I have never known any evil in, and I have never been absent except that he was with me, and he never entered my house except that I was present.” Sa'd b. Mu'adh said, “I think their necks should be struck.” A man from the Khazraj said, “You have lied, by Allah. By Allah, if they had been from your own clan, you would not have ordered their killing.” Hassan was from the Khazraj, until there was a dispute between the Aws and the Khazraj in the mosque. Among those who spread it were Hassan b. Thabit, Mistah b. Uthathah, and Hamnah bt. Jahsh, along with others. It was spoken about in the presence of Abdullah b. Ubayy, and he would listen to it, encourage it, and spread it. Aisha said: One night I went out with the mother of Mistah for my need, and while we were walking, she stumbled and said, “May Mistah perish.” I said, “Glory be to Allah! Do you curse your son Mistah, who is among the first emigrants and who witnessed Badr?” Then she walked for a while and stumbled again and said the same thing, and I said the same to her. She said, “By Allah, I do not curse him except because of you.” I said, “What is my affair?” She informed me of the matter. Then I went to relieve myself and returned, and I fell ill with fever. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and said, “What is the matter with you, O Aisha?” I said, “I have a fever; give me permission to go to my parents.” So he permitted me, and I went. My mother was downstairs and my father was on the roof of the house praying. My mother said, “What is the matter with you, O Aisha?” I said, “The mother of Mistah told me such-and-such.” She said, “Have you only now heard of it?” So I wept, and she wept. My father heard the weeping and said, “What is the matter with my daughter?” My mother said, “She has heard of that matter just now.” He said, “O my daughter, return to your house until we come to you tomorrow.” So he came the next day, while there was a woman from the Ansar with the Prophet ﷺ. Her presence did not prevent the Prophet ﷺ from speaking. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said, “To proceed: O Aisha, if you have done wrong and erred, then seek forgiveness from Allah and repent.” I said to my father, “Speak.” He said, “With what shall I speak?” I said to my mother, “Speak.” She said, “With what shall I speak?” So I praised Allah and extolled Him, then said, “To proceed: By Allah, if I say to you that I did it — while Allah knows that I did not do it — you would say, ‘She has confessed to what she did not do.’ And if I say that I did not do it — while Allah knows that I did not do it — you would say, ‘She has lied.’ And I find no example for myself and for you except what the righteous servant said: {So patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against what you describe}.”

    لَمَّا ذُكِرَ مِنْ شَأْنِي الَّذِي ذُكِرَ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ قَامَ فِيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَطِيبًا فَتَشَهَّدَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ فِي أُنَاسٍ أَبَنُوا أَهْلِي وَأَيْمُ اللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي مِنْ سُوءٍ قَطُّ وَأَبَنُوهُمْ بِمَنْ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ قَطُّ وَلَا دَخَلَ بَيْتِي إِلَّا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ وَلَا غِبْتُ فِي سَفَرٍ إِلَّا غَابَ مَعِي» فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ نَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ نَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ رَهْطِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ كَذَبَتْ أَمَ وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانُوا مِنَ الْأَوْسِ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تُضْرَبَ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ شَرٌّ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَرَجْتُ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِي وَمَعِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَعَثَرَتْ فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَانْتَهَرْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ أَوَ تَسُبِّينَ ابْنَكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا أَسُبُّهُ إِلَّا فِيكِ فَقُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ شَأْنِي فَنَقَرَتِ الْحَدِيثَ فَقُلْتُ وَقَدْ كَانَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَاللهِ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي لَكَأَنَّ الَّذِي خَرَجْتُ لَهُ لَمْ أَخْرُجْ لَهُ وَلَا أَجِدُ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا وَلَا كَثِيرًا وَوُعِكْتُ فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ أَرْسِلْنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِيَ الْغُلَامَ فَدَخَلْتُ الدَّارَ فَوَجَدْتُ أُمَّ رُومَانَ فِي السُّفْلِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ يَقْرَأُ فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي مَا جَاءَ بِكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا وَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا الْحَدِيثَ وَإِذَا هِي لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْهَا مَا بَلَغَ مِنِّي فَقَالَتْ أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ خَفِّفِي عَلَيْكِ الشَّأْنَ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءَ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا حَسَدْنَهَا وَقِيلَ فِيهَا قُلْتُ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ بِهَا أَبِي؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ وَاسْتَعْبَرْتُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَسَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَوْتِي وَهُوَ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ يَقْرَأُ فَنَزَلَ فَقَالَ لِأُمِّي مَا شَأْنُهَا؟ قَالَتْ بَلَغَهَا الَّذِي ذُكِرَ مِنْ شَأْنِهَا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ إِلَّا رَجَعْتِ إِلَى بَيْتِكِ قَالَتْ فَرَجَعْتُ قَالَتْ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ بَيْتِي فَسَأَلَ عَنِّي خَادِمَتِي فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا عَيْبًا إِلَّا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَرْقُدُ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ الشَّاةُ فَتَأْكُلَ خَمِيرَهَا أَوْ عَجِينَهَا قَالَتْ فَانْتَهَرَهَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَصْدِقِي رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا مَا يَعْلَمُ الصَّائِغُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْأَحْمَرِ فَبَلَغَ الْأَمْرُ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ قِيلَ لَهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ أُنْثَى قَطُّ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَأَصْبَحَ أَبَوَايَ عِنْدِي فَلَمْ يَزَالَا عِنْدِي حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَقَدِ اكْتَنَفَنِي أَبَوَايَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَشِمَالِي فَتَشَهَّدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنْ كُنْتِ قَارَفْتِ سُوءًا أَوْ ظَلَمْتِ فَتُوبِي إِلَى اللهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ» قَالَتْ وَقَدْ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ بِالْبَابِ فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تَسْتَحْي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ شَيْئًا فَوَعَظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَى أَبِي فَقُلْتُ أَجِبْهُ فَقَالَ أَقُولُ مَاذَا؟ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَى أُمِّي فَقُلْتُ أَجِيبِيهِ فَقَالَتْ أَقُولُ مَاذَا؟ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يُجِيبَاهُ تَشَهَّدْتُ فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ وَأَثْنَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ وَاللهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي لَصَادِقَةٌ مَا ذَاكَ بِنَافِعِي عِنْدَكُمْ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِهِ وَأَشْرَبْتُمُوهُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ فَعَلْتُ وَاللهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ لَتَقُولُنَّ قَدْ بَاتَ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا وَاللهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا قَالَتْ وَالْتَمَسْتُ اسْمَ يَعْقُوبَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ حِينَ قَالَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ} الْآيَةَ قَالَتْ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ فَرُفِعَ عَنْهُ وَإِنِّي لَأَتَبَيَّنُ السُّرُورَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ جَبِينَهُ وَيَقُولُ «أَبْشِرِي يَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ أَبْرَأَكِ اللهُ بِبَرَاءَتِكِ» قَالَتْ فَكُنْتُ أَشَدَّ مَا كُنْتُ غَضَبًا فَقَالَ لِي أَبَوَايَ قَوْمِي إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُهُ وَلَا أَحْمَدُكُمَا وَلَكِنِّي أَحْمَدُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ بَرَاءَتِي لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ فَمَا أَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ وَلَكِنْ أَحْمَدُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ بَرَاءَتِي فَأَمَّا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ بِدِينِهَا فَلَمْ تَقُلْ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَأَمَّا أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ وَكَانَ الَّذِينَ تَكَلَّمُوا بِهِ مِسْطَحَ بْنَ أُثَاثَةَ وَحَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَحَمْنَةَ وَالْمُنَافِقَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْتَوْشِيهِ وَيَجْمَعُهُمْ وَهُوَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ مِسْطَحًا أَبَدًا بِنَافِعَةٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ} يَعْنِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ {أَنْ يُؤْتُوا أُولِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْمَسَاكِينَ} يَعْنِي مِسْطَحًا {أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَلَى وَاللهِ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَنَا فَعَادَ لِمَا كَانَ يَنْفَعُهُ بِهِ

    ✧ When the matter concerning me that was mentioned came up, and I knew nothing of it, the Messenger of God ﷺ stood up to address the people. He pronounced the testimony of faith, praised God, and extolled Him as He deserves, then said: "To proceed: advise me concerning people who have slandered my family. By God, I have never known any evil in my family, and they have slandered them by means of one of whom, by God, I have never known any evil. He has never entered my house except when I was present, and I have never been absent on a journey but that he was absent with me." Saʿd b. Muʿādh stood up and said: "We think, O Messenger of God, that we should strike their necks." A man from the Khazraj stood up—and the mother of Ḥassān b. Thābit belonged to the clan of that man—and said: "You have lied. By God, if they had been from the Aws, you would not have liked to strike their necks." This went on until there was almost evil between the Aws and the Khazraj in the mosque, and I knew nothing of it. When evening came that day, I went out for some need of mine, and Umm Misṭaḥ was with me. She stumbled and said: "May Misṭaḥ perish!" I rebuked her and said: "Do you revile your own son?" She said: "By God, I do not revile him except because of you." I said: "In what matter concerning me?" She related the story. I said: "Has this really happened?" She said: "Yes, by God." I returned to my house as if the need for which I had gone out I had not gone out for at all, and I found no trace of it, little or much. I fell ill and said to the Messenger of God: "Send me to my father's house." He sent the servant boy with me. I entered the house and found Umm Rūmān downstairs, and Abū Bakr was above in the house reciting. My mother said: "What has brought you, my little daughter?" I told her and mentioned the story to her. It had not affected her as it had affected me. She said: "My little daughter, take the matter lightly. By God, rarely is there a beautiful woman loved by a man who has co-wives but that they envy her and speak about her." I said: "Does my father know about it?" She said: "Yes." I said: "And the Messenger of God ﷺ?" She said: "Yes." She said: I was moved to tears and wept. Abū Bakr heard my voice while he was above in the house reciting, so he came down and said to my mother: "What is the matter with her?" She said: "The matter that was mentioned about her has reached her." His eyes overflowed, and he said: "I adjure you, my little daughter, return to your house." She said: So I returned. She said: The Messenger of God came to my house and asked my maidservant about me. She said: "By God, I know no fault in her except that she would sleep until the sheep came in and ate her leaven or her dough." She said: One of his companions rebuked her and said: "Tell the truth to the Messenger of God." She said: "Glory be to God, I know nothing about her except what the goldsmith knows about red gold." The matter reached that man about whom it had been said concerning her, and he said: "Glory be to God, I have never uncovered any female." ʿĀʾishah said: He was killed as a martyr in the path of God. She said: My parents came to me in the morning and stayed with me until the Messenger of God entered upon me after he had prayed the afternoon prayer. My parents were on my right and left. The Prophet ﷺ pronounced the testimony of faith, praised God, and extolled Him as He deserves, then said: "To proceed: O ʿĀʾishah, if you have committed a sin or wronged, then repent to God, for God accepts repentance from His servants." She said: A woman of the Anṣār had come and was sitting at the door. I said: "Are you not ashamed before this woman to mention something?" He admonished me, so I turned to my father and said: "Answer him." He said: "What shall I say?" I turned to my mother and said: "Answer him." She said: "What shall I say?" When they did not answer him, I pronounced the testimony of faith, praised God, and extolled Him as He deserves, then said: "To proceed: By God, if I say to you that I did not do it—and God bears witness that I am truthful—that will not benefit me with you. You have spoken about it and your hearts have absorbed it. And if I say that I did it—and God bears witness that I did not—you will say she has confessed against herself. By God, I find no likeness for me and for you except—" She said: I sought the name of Yaʿqūb but could not recall it, so I said: "—except the father of Yūsuf when he said: {So patience is most fitting, and God is the one sought for help} [Q 12:18]." She said: Then revelation came down upon the Messenger of God at that very moment, and it was lifted from him. I could discern joy in his face while he was wiping his forehead and saying: "Rejoice, O ʿĀʾishah, for God has declared your innocence." She said: I was as angry as I had ever been. My parents said to me: "Rise and go to him." I said: "By God, I will not rise to him, nor praise him, nor praise you two. But I praise God who sent down my innocence. You heard it, so did you not deny it? But I praise God who sent down my innocence." As for Zaynab bt. Jaḥsh, God protected her through her religion, and she said nothing but good. As for her sister Ḥamnah, she perished among those who perished. Those who spoke about it were Misṭaḥ b. Uthāthah, Ḥassān b. Thābit, Ḥamnah, and the hypocrite ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy b. Salūl—he was the one who instigated it and gathered them, and he took upon himself the greater part of it. Abū Bakr swore that he would never again benefit Misṭaḥ with any benefit. Then God revealed: {Let not those of virtue and affluence among you swear not to give to the near of kin and the needy} [Q 24:22]—meaning Abū Bakr—{to give to the near of kin and the needy}—meaning Misṭaḥ—{Do you not love that God should forgive you? And God is Forgiving, Merciful} [Q 24:22]. Abū Bakr said: "Yes, by God, O Lord, we love that You forgive us." So he returned to benefiting him as he used to.

    كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَافَرَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ فَخَرَجَ سَهْمُ عَائِشَةَ فِي غَزْوَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَكَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ جُوَيْرِيَةً حَدِيثَةَ السِّنِّ قَلِيلَةَ اللَّحْمِ خَفِيفَةً وَكَانَتْ تَلْزَمُ خِدْرَهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ النَّاسُ الرَّحِيلَ ذَهَبَتْ فَتَوَضَّأَتْ وَرَجَعَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ مِحَفَّتَهَا فَيُرْحَلُ بَعِيرُهَا ثُمَّ يُحْمَلُ مِحَفَّتُهَا فَتُوضَعُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا قَالَ فِيهَا الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَغَيْرُهُمْ مِمَّنْ أَشْرَكَ فِي عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا خَرَجَتْ تَتَوَضَّأُ حِينَ دَنَوْا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَانْسَلَّ مِنْ عُنُقِهَا عِقْدٌ لَهَا مِنْ جَزْعِ أَظْفَارٍ فَارْتَحَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ وَهِيَ فِي ابْتِغَاءِ الْعِقْدِ وَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ بِرَحِيلِهِمْ فَشَدُّوا عَلَى بَعِيرِهَا الْمِحَفَّةَ وَهُمْ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا فِيهَا كَمَا كَانَتْ فَرَجَعَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهَا فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِي الْعَسْكَرِ أَحَدًا فَغَلَبَتْهَا عَيْنَاهَا وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَخَلَّفَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ عَنِ الْعَسْكَرِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ قَالَتْ فَمَرَّ بِي فَرَآنِي فَاسْتَرْجَعَ وَأَعْظَمَ مَكَانِي حِينَ رَآنِي وَحْدِي وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ وَيَعْرِفُنِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ قَالَتْ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ أَمْرِي فَسَتَرْتُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُ بِجِلْبَابِي وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِأَمْرِي فَقَرَّبَ بَعِيرَهُ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ وَوَلَّانِي قَفَاهُ حَتَّى رَكِبْتُ وَسَوَّيْتُ ثِيَابِي ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ يَسِيرُ بِي حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ فَهُنَالِكَ قَالَ فِيَّ وَفِيهِ مَنْ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِفْكِ وَأَنَا لَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلَا مِمَّا يَخُوضُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَكُنْتُ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِيَ شَاكِيَةً وَكَانَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا أَنْكَرْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعُودُنِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا مَرِضْتُ وَكَانَ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِيَ لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ وَلَا يَعُودُنِي إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ مَارٌّ «كَيْفَ تِيكُمْ؟» فَيَسْأَلُ عَنِّي بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ مِنْ أَمْرِي غَمَّهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ شَكَوْتُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أُمِّي مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَفْوَةِ فَقَالَتْ لِي يَا بُنَيَّةُ اصْبِرِي فَوَاللهِ لَقَلَّ مَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ يُحِبُّهَا زَوْجُهَا لَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا رَمَيْنَهَا قَالَتْ فَوَجَدْتُ حِسًّا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ صُبْحِهَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَاسْتَشَارَهُمَا فِي أَمْرِي وَكُنَّا ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ لَيْسَتْ لَنَا كُنُفٌ نَذْهَبُ فِيهَا إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَذْهَبُ كَمَا يَذْهَبُ الْعَرَبُ لَيْلًا إِلَى لَيْلٍ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّ مِسْطَحِ بْنِ أُثَاثَةَ خُذِي الْإِدَاوَةَ فَامْلَئِيهَا مَاءً فَاذْهَبِي بِهَا إِلَى الْمَنَاصِعِ وَكَانَتْ هِيَ وَابْنُهَا مِسْطَحُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَبَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَرَابَةٌ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَكَانَ يَكُونَانِ مَعَهُ وَمَعَ أَهْلِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ الْإِدَاوَةَ وَخَرَجْنَا نَحْوَ الْمَنَاصِعِ فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا فَعَثَرَتْ أَيْضًا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ لِصَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَصَاحِبِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّكِ لَغَافِلَةٌ عَمَّا فِيهِ النَّاسُ مِنْ أَمْرِكِ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ فَمَا ذَاكَ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ مِسْطَحًا وَفُلَانًا وَفُلَانَةَ فِيمَنِ اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ

قَالَتْ فَذَهَبَ عَنِّي مَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ وَرَجَعْتُ عَوْدِي عَلَى بَدْئِي إِلَى بَيْتِي فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَأَخْبَرَهُمَا بِمَا قِيلَ فِيَّ وَاسْتَشَارَهُمَا فِي أَمْرِي فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَى أَهْلِكَ سُوءًا وَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَكْثَرَ النِّسَاءِ وَإِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ الْخَبَرَ فَتَوَعَّدِ الْجَارِيَةَ يَعْنِي بَرِيرَةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ «فَشَأْنَكَ ائْتِ الْخَادِمَ» فَسَأَلَهَا عَلِيٌّ عَنِّي فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ سُوءًا إِلَّا أَنَّهَا جُوَيْرِيَةٌ تُصْبِحُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا فَتَدْخُلُ الشَّاةُ الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ سَمِعَ مَا قَالَتْ فِيَّ بَرِيرَةُ لِعَلِيٍّ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ لِي مِنْ رِجَالٍ يُؤْذُونِي فِي أَهْلِي فَمَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي سُوءًا وَيَذُمُّونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ سُوءًا وَلَا خَرَجْتُ مَخْرَجًا إِلَّا خَرَجَ مَعِي فِيهِ» فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الْأَشْهَلِيُّ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ كَفَيْنَاكَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا فِيهِ أَمْرَكَ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الْخَزْرَجِيُّ فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ كَذَبْتَ وَاللهِ وَهَذَا الْبَاطِلُ فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الْأَشْهَلِيُّ وَرِجَالٌ مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ فَاسْتَبَّوْا وَتَنَازَعَوْا حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَعْظُمَ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْتِي وَبَعَثَ إِلَى أَبَوَيَّ فَأَتَيَاهُ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّمَا أَنْتِ مِنْ بَنَاتِ آدَمَ فَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَخْطَأْتِ فَتُوبِي إِلَى اللهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرِيهِ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَجِبْ عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي لَا أَفْعَلُ هُوَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ وَالْوَحْيُ يَأْتِيَهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي أَجِيبِي عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَتْ لِي كَمَا قَالَ أَبِي فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ أَقْرَرْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِبَاطِلٍ لَتُصَدِّقُنَّنِي وَلَئِنْ بَرَّأْتُ نَفْسِي وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي بَرِيئَةٌ لَتُكَذِّبُنَّنِي فَمَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا قَوْلَ أَبِي يُوسُفَ {فَصَبَرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} وَنَسِيتُ اسْمَ يَعْقُوبَ لِمَا بِي مِنَ الْحُزْنِ وَالْبُكَاءِ وَاحْتِرَاقِ الْجَوْفِ فَتَغَشَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَ يَتَغَشَّاهُ مِنَ الْوَحْيِ ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «أَبْشِرِي يَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ بَرَاءَتَكِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ الْقُرْآنُ فِي أَمْرِي وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو كَمَا يَعْلَمُ اللهُ مِنْ بَرَاءَتِي أَنْ يَرَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي أَمْرِي رُؤْيَا فَيُبَرِّئَنِي اللهُ بِهَا عِنْدَ نَبِيِّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ لِي أَبَوَايَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَوْمِي فَقَبِّلِي رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ كَانَ لَا بِحَمْدِكُمْ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ وَأُمِّهِ فَلَمَّا رَمَانِي حَلَفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ لَا يَنْفَعَهُ بِشَيْءٍ أَبَدًا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا تَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَلْيَعْفُوا وَلْيَصْفَحُوا أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ} بَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبُّ وَعَادَ لِلنَّفَقَةِ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ وَأُمِّهِ قَالَتْ وَقَعَدَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بِالسَّيْفِ فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ لِحَسَّانَ فِي الشَّعْرِ حِينَ ضَرَبَهُ

    ✧ Umm Mistah entered upon me, and we went out to Hayr 'Ad. Umm Mistah stepped on a bone or a thorn and said, “May Mistah perish.” I said, “What a bad thing you have said about a man from the Companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ.” She said, “I bear witness that you are among the heedless believing women. Do you know what has flown upon you?” I said, “No, by God.” She said, “How long has it been since the Messenger of God was with you?” I said, “The Messenger of God does with his wives whatever he wishes; he begins with whichever of them he wishes and comes to whichever he wishes.” She said, “Verily he has closed over you such-and-such.” I fell down in a faint. It reached Umm Ruman, my mother, and when the matter reached her, she came to me, carried me, and took me to her house. It reached the Messenger of God that Aisha had heard of the matter, so he came to her, entered upon her, sat beside her, and said, “O Aisha, God has made repentance ample.” This only increased my distress beyond what I already had. While we were like that, Abu Bakr came, entered upon me, and said, “O Messenger of God, what are you waiting for regarding this one who betrayed you and disgraced me?” She said, “This increased my distress upon distress.” She said, “Then he sent for Ali and said, ‘O Ali, what do you think regarding Aisha?’ He said, ‘God and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘You must tell me what you think regarding Aisha.’ He said, ‘God has given women ample alternatives, but send for Burayrah, her servant, and ask her; perhaps she has become aware of something of her affair.’ So he sent for Burayrah, and she came. He said to her, ‘Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of God?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Then I will ask you about something, so do not hide it from me.’ She said, ‘Yes, O Messenger of God. There is nothing you ask me about except that I will inform you of it, and I will not hide from you anything, God willing.’ He said, ‘You have been with Aisha, so have you seen anything of her that you dislike?’ She said, ‘No, by the One who sent you with prophethood. I have not seen anything from her since I have been with her except one trait.’ He said, ‘And what is it?’ She said, ‘I kneaded dough for myself and said to Aisha, “Guard this dough until I fetch a firebrand and bake.” She got up to pray and became heedless of the dough, then a sheep came and ate it.’ Then he sent for Usamah and said, ‘O Usamah, what do you think regarding Aisha?’ He said, ‘God and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘You must tell me what you think about her.’ He said, ‘Then I think you should keep her until God brings about something for you regarding her.’ She said, ‘It was only a short while before revelation descended, and joy kept being seen on the face of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and her vindication came from heaven, meaning from God. The Messenger of God said, “Rejoice, O Aisha, then rejoice, O Aisha, for God has informed me of your vindication.” I said, “Without praise from you or your companion.” She said, “At that point I spoke. And when he came to her, he used to say, ‘How is that one of yours?’”

    ✧ I said: O Mother of the Believers, or O my mother, will you not tell me how it was—meaning the affair of the slander? She said: The Messenger of God ﷺ married me while I was playing in the rain in Makkah, and I had nothing that men desire, and I was six years old. When it reached me that he had married me, God cast modesty upon me. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ emigrated and I was with him, and I was brought to him, and he had come to me when I was nine years old. The Messenger of God set out on a journey and took me out with him. I was light in a howdah of mine that had curtains. When they departed, I sat in it, and they lifted it while I was inside, and they tied it on the back of the camel. They halted at a campsite. I went out for my need and returned, and they had hastened to depart. I sat in the howdah, and they had seen me when I moved the curtains. When I sat in it, I struck my hand on my chest and found that I had forgotten a necklace that was with me. So I went out quickly seeking it, and returned, and the people had departed. I saw nothing but dust from afar. They had placed the howdah on the camel's back, thinking I was in it because of my lightness. Then there was a man holding the head of his camel. I said: Who is the man? He said: Safwan b. al-Mu'attal al-Sulami. Are you the Mother of the Believers? I said: Yes. He said: Indeed we belong to God and to Him we return. I said: Turn your face away from me and put your foot on the foreleg of your camel. He said: I will do so, with the blessing of an eye and honor. She said: Then I caught up with the people when they halted, and he went and set me down by the howdah. The people looked at me and I was unaware. She said: I noticed the coldness of my parents and the coldness of the Messenger of God, and I did not know what had been said, until my servant or my foster-daughter entered and said such-and-such. She said: A man of the Muhajirun said to me: How heedless you are! A shivering fever seized me, and my mother took every garment in the house and threw it over me. The Messenger of God consulted some of his companions and said: "What do you think?" Some of them said: There are many women, and you can find a replacement. Some said: You are the Messenger of God, and revelation descends upon you, and our affair follows your affair. Some said: By God, God will make it clear, so do not hasten. She said: My father's face became as if yellow orpiment had been poured on it. She said: The Messenger of God entered upon me and saw what I was in. He said: "What is wrong with her?" My mother said: Because of what is with her, because of what you all said. And it was said. He did not speak and did not say anything. She said: That increased me in what I was already feeling. She said: He came to me and said: "Fear God, O Aisha. If you have done any of this, repent to God, for God accepts repentance from His servants and forgives evil deeds." She said: I sought the name of Ya'qub but could not recall it, so I said: Only I say as the father of Yusuf said: "So patience is beautiful, and God is the one sought for help against what you describe." "I only complain of my anguish and my sorrow to God, and I know from God what you do not know." She said: While the Messenger of God was with his companions and his face was as if orpiment had been melted on it, until revelation descended upon him. When revelation came to him, he did not blink, and his companions knew that revelation was coming to him. They began to look at his face, and it was beaming and brightening. When the revelation was completed, he said: "Rejoice, O Abu Bakr, God has sent down the excuse of your daughter and her innocence." He went to her and gave her the good news. She said: And he recited to him what had been revealed concerning me. She said: Abu Bakr came hurrying, almost falling. She said: I said: By the praise of God, not by the praise of your companion from whom you came. The Messenger of God came and sat at my head, and took my hand. I pulled my hand away from him. Abu Bakr struck me and said: Will you pull your hand away from the Messenger of God, or do such a thing to the Messenger of God? The Messenger of God laughed. She said: This was my affair.

    ✧ When what happened regarding my necklace took place, the people of the slander said what they said. Then I went out with the Prophet ﷺ on another expedition, and my necklace also fell, such that searching for it detained the people until dawn broke. I met from Abu Bakr whatever Allah willed. He said to me, 'O my little daughter, on a journey you are a burden and a trial, and the people have no water.' Then Allah sent down the concession of tayammum. Abu Bakr said, 'Indeed, by Allah, O my little daughter, you are, as I have known, blessed.'

    ✧ While I was sitting with Aisha, a woman from the Ansar came and said, "Allah has done such and such to so-and-so and so-and-so." Aisha asked, "What is that?" The woman replied, "So-and-so and so-and-so." Aisha said, "Has the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard about it?" The woman answered, "Yes." Aisha asked, "And Abu Bakr?" The woman replied, "Yes." Aisha then fainted and when she regained consciousness, she had a high fever. Her clothes were thrown on her and the Prophet ﷺ came and she was lying down. He asked, "What is wrong with her?" They said, "She has been overcome by a fever caused by distress." He said, "Perhaps her condition is because of a conversation she had with someone." So he sat down and Aisha said, "By Allah, if I was to take an oath with you that you would not believe me, and if I were to confess to you, you would not accept my confession. My likeness and your likeness is like the likeness of Jacob and his sons. (Allah knows) I called upon my father and he did not answer me. I called upon my mother and she did not answer me. I called upon my aunt and she responded to my call.' [Allah says] 'And Allah is the One whose help is to be sought over that which you describe. (12:18)' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and the excuse was revealed to him. He came back and said, 'It is due to the praise of Allah, not due to the praise of me or anyone else.'"

    أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ سَافَرَ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَيُقْسِمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَسَافَرَ بِعَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ لَهَا هَوْدَجٌ وَكَانَ الْهَوْدَجُ لَهُ رِجَالٌ يَحْمِلُونَهُ وَيَضَعُونَهُ فَعَرَّسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَخَرَجَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِلْحَاجَةِ فَتَبَاعَدَتْ فَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ بِهَا فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ قَدِ ارْتَحَلُوا وَجَاءَ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْهَوْدَجَ فَحَمَلُوهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا فِيهِ فَسَارُوا وَأَقْبَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَوَجَدَتْهُمْ قَدِ ارْتَحَلُوا فَجَلَسَتْ مَكَانَهَا فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ وَكَانَ لَا يَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَتَقَرَّبَ مِنْهَا وَكَانَ مَعَهُ بَعِيرٌ لَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا حَمَلَهَا وَقَدْ كَانَ يَرَاهَا قَبْلَ الْحِجَابِ وَجَعَلَ يَقُودُ بِهَا الْبَعِيرَ حَتَّى أَتَوُا النَّاسَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عَائِشَةُ وَأَكْثَرُوا الْقَوْلَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اعْتَزَلَهَا وَاسْتَشَارَ فِيهَا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَغَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْهَا لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ لَكَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ النِّسَاءُ كَثِيرٌ فَحَمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْهَا وَخَرَجَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَيْلَةً تَمْشِي فِي نِسَاءٍ فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ تَقُولِينَ هَذَا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّكِ مَا تَدْرِينَ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَأَخْبَرَتْهَا الْخَبَرَ فَسَقَطَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِعُذْرِهَا فِي سُورَةِ النُّورِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} وَنَزَلَ {وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُعْطِي مِسْطَحًا وَيَبَرُّهُ وَيَصِلُهُ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ أَكْثَرَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَحَلَفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ لَا يُعْطِيَهُ شَيْئًا فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ} فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهَا وَيُبَشِّرَهَا فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِعُذْرِهَا وَبِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فَقَالَتْ لَا بِحَمْدِكَ وَلَا بِحَمْدِ صَاحِبِكَ

    ✧ When the Prophet ﷺ traveled, he traveled with one of his wives and drew lots among them. He traveled with Aisha bt. Abi Bakr. She had a howdah, and the howdah had men who carried it and set it down. The Messenger of God ﷺ and his companions made a stop, and Aisha went out for a need and went far off, and no one noticed her. The Prophet ﷺ and the people woke up and had already departed. The men who carried the howdah came and carried it, thinking only that she was inside it, and they set off. Aisha came back and found that they had departed, so she sat in her place. A man from the Ansar called Safwan b. al-Mu'attal woke up; he did not approach women. He came near her, and he had a camel with him. When he saw her, he mounted her, and he had seen her before the veil. He led the camel with her until they reached the people, with the Prophet ﷺ and Aisha with him. They spoke much about it, and that reached the Prophet ﷺ, and it weighed heavily on him until he withdrew from her and consulted Zayd b. Thabit and others about her. He said, "O Messenger of God, leave her; perhaps God will bring about something for you concerning her." Ali b. Abi Talib said, "Women are many." The Prophet ﷺ then charged her, and Aisha went out one night walking among women, and Umm Mistah stumbled and said, "May Mistah perish." Aisha said, "How bad is what you have said! Do you say this about a man among the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ?" She said, "You do not know what they are saying," and she told her the news. Aisha fell down unconscious. Then the Quran came down with her excuse in Surat al-Nur: {Indeed, those who brought the falsehood are a group among you} until it reached {and the one who took upon himself the greater part of it will have a great punishment}. And it came down: {And let not those of virtue among you swear} until His saying {and God is Forgiving, Merciful}. Abu Bakr used to give to Mistah and be kind to him and maintain ties with him, and he was one of those who spoke much against Aisha. Abu Bakr swore that he would not give him anything. Then this verse came down: {Do you not love that God should forgive you?} The Prophet ﷺ commanded him to go to her and give her good news. Abu Bakr came and told her of her excuse and what God had sent down. She said, "No, by your praise, nor by the praise of your companion."

    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عُذْرَكِ» فَقَالَتْ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ وَلَا بِحَمْدِكَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ عَائِشَةَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ فَضَرَبَهُ حَدَّيْنِ وَبَعَثَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ وَحَمْنَةَ فَضَرَبَهُمْ

    ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to Aisha, "O Aisha, God has sent down your excuse." She said, "By God's praise, not by your praise." The Messenger of God ﷺ left Aisha's presence, then he sent for Abdullah b. Ubayy and had him flogged with two hadd punishments, and he sent for Mistah and Hamnah and had them flogged.

    كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ أَثْلَاثًا فَمَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ الْقُرْعَةُ أَخْرَجَ بِهِنَّ مَعَهُ فَكُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ يَسْقِينَ الْمَاءَ وَيُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى فَلَمَّا غَزَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَهُنَّ فَأَصَابَتِ الْقُرْعَةُ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِمَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانُوا فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ مَالَ رَحْلُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَأَنَاخُوا بَعِيرَهَا لِيُصْلِحُوا رَحْلَهَا وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تُرِيدُ قَضَاءَ حَاجَةٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلُوا إِبِلَهُمْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي إِلَى مَا يُصْلِحُوا رَحْلَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَقْضِي حَاجَتِي قَالَتْ فَنَزَلْتُ مِنَ الْهَوْدَجِ فَأَخَذْتُ مَاءً فِي السَّطْلِ وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا بِنُزُولِي فَأَتَيْتُ خَرِبَةً وَانْقَطَعَتْ قِلَادَتِي فَاحْتَبَسْتُ فِي رَجْعِهَا وَنِظَامِهَا وَبَعَثَ الْقَوْمُ إِبِلَهُمْ وَمَضَوْا وَظَنُّوا أَنِّي فِي الْهَوْدَجِ لَمْ أَنْزَلْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا قَالَتْ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ حَتَّى أُعْيِيتُ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ سَيَفْقِدُونِي وَيَرْجِعُونَ فِي طَلَبِي قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَمَرَّ بِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ السُّلَمِيُّ وَكَانَ رَفِيقَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ عَلَى السَّاقَةِ فَجَعَلَهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَحَلَ النَّاسُ أَقَامَ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ اتَّبَعَهُمْ فَمَا سَقَطَ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ حَمَلَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ بِهِ أَصْحَابَهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِي ظَنَّ أَنِّي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَوْمَانُ قُمْ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ مَضَوْا قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ رَجُلًا أَنَا عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَ بَعِيرَهُ فَعَقَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَلَّى عَنِّي فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّةَ قَوْمِي فَارْكَبِي فَإِذَا رَكِبْتِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَرَكِبْتُ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى حَلَّ الْعِقَالَ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ حِمْلَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَمَا كَلَّمَهَا كَلَامًا حَتَّى أَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ الْمُنَافِقُ فَجَرَ بِهَا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمِسْطَحُ بْنُ أُثَاثَةَ وَحَمْنَةُ وَشاعَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْعَسْكَرِ وَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِمَا قَالُوا حَتَّى رَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَشَاعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيِّ بْنِ سَلُولٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَخَلَتْ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَرَأَتْنِي وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْمَذْهَبَ فَحَمَلَتْ مَعِي السَّطْلَ وَفِيهِ مَاءٌ فَوَقَعَ السَّطْلُ مِنْهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تُتْعِسِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُكِ؟ قَالَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ إِنَّهُ سَالَ بِكِ السَّيْلُ وَأَنْتِ لَا تَدْرِينَ وَأَخْبَرَتْهَا الْخَبَرَ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَخَذَتْنِي الْحُمَّى وَتَقَلَّصَ مَا كَانَ بِي وَلَمْ أَبْعُدِ الْمَذْهَبَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ جَفْوَةً وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هِيَ؟ فَلَمَّا حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ جَفْوَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ لِمَا أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِي؟ قَالَ «اذْهَبِي» فَخَرَجَتْ عَائِشَةُ حَتَّى أَتَتْ أَبَاهَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا لَكِ؟ قَالَتْ أَخْرَجَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخْرَجَكِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَآوِيكِ أَنَا وَاللهِ لَا آوِيكِ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُؤْوِيَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللهِ مَا قِيلَ لَنَا هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَطُّ فَكَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَعَزَّنَا اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ؟ فَبَكَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَأُمُّهَا أُمُّ رُومَانَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَبَكَى مَعَهُمْ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ وَبَلَغَ ذَاكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ يَعْذُرُنِي مِمَّنْ يُؤْذِينِي؟» فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَسَلَّ سَيْفَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أَعْذُرُكَ مِنْهُ إِنْ يَكَ مِنَ الْأَوْسِ أَتَيْتُكَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَإِنْ يَكُ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ أَمَرْتَنَا بِأَمْرِكَ فِيهِ فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ وَاللهِ مَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ إِنَّمَا طَلَبْتَنَا بِدُخُولٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَا لَلْأَوْسِ وَقَالَ هَذَا يَا لَلْخَزْرَجِ فَاضْطَرَبُوا بِالنِّعَالِ وَالْحِجَارَةِ وَتَلَاطَمُوا فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ فَقَالَ فِيمَ الْكَلَامُ؟ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ يَأْمُرُنَا بِأَمْرِهِ فَسَفَدَ عَنْ رَغْمِ أَنْفِ مَنْ رَغِمَ وَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ أَوْمَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى النَّاسِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ تَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَنَزَلَ {وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

أَنْزَلَ اللهُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَامَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَتَلَازَمُوا وَتَصَالَحُوا وَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ وَانْتَظَرَ الْوَحْيَ فِي عَائِشَةَ وَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَأُسَامَةَ

النَّاسُ فِيهَا» فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ قَالَ النَّاسُ وَقَدْ حَلَّ لَكَ طَلَاقُهَا وَقَالَ لِأُسَامَةَ «مَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا سُبْحَانَكَ هَذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقَالَ لِبَرِيرَةَ «مَا تَقُولِينَ يَا بَرِيرَةُ؟» قَالَتْ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَنَّهَا امْرَأَةٌ

    ✧ To me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been to you like Abu Zar'in father to Umm Zar'in." Then he started narrating the Hadith of Umm Zar'in and her companions. One of them said, "My husband is Ayayaa Tabaaqaa, every sickness has a cure except for his stubbornness or foolishness or when he combines them all." Another said, "My husband is the meat of a skinny camel in a rough and steep mountain, he is neither fat nor easy to move." Another said, "My husband is Al-Asannaaq, if I remain silent, he divorces me, and if I speak, he suspends me." Another said, "My husband is someone who becomes restless when he drinks, and when he sleeps, he snores. He doesn't insert his hand in the pot, but still knows what's boiling." Another said, "My husband's news is incomplete, I fear that I won't complete it." Urwah said to her, "These are five women complaining." Another said, "My husband is a free man, like the night of Tihama. He is not hot, nor cold, nor afraid." Another said, "When he enters, he roars, and when he leaves, he becomes a lion. He doesn't ask about his properties." Another said, "My husband's scent is the scent of thyme and musk. I smell it more than others smell it." Another said, "My husband is tall and his hairs are long, he has a great pile of ashes. Our house is close to the marketplace." Another said, "My husband is Abu Malik, and who is Abu Malik? He is a man with many camels, but few blessed ones. When they hear the sound of female singers, they know it's them." Another said, "My husband is Abu Zar' and who is Abu Zar'? He is a man from noble lineage, with ears and body full of fat. I managed to deceive him, so I deceived him to get pregnant. I am the daughter of Abu Zar', and who is the daughter of Abu Zar'? Her clothes are filled, and her cloak is small. She is the best among women, but her neighbors hate her. Her father and mother obey her. She is the servant of Abu Zar', and who is the servant of Abu Zar'? She never spreads our secrets, nor spoils our reputation, nor misbehaves in our house. Abu Zar' came to me when I was in labor, and he pat me until he took me to Sahil, Taee and Dayis. I am with him, I drink, and I relax. In the morning, when I wake up, I say that I am not ugly. Abu Zar' left me, and the female camels were in labor. He saw a woman with two sons playing under her, with pomegranates on both sides. Abu Zar' married her, and divorced me. After that, I married a young man, who rode a fast horse and carried a piercing spear. He pleased me and provided me with a rich gift. He came to me on every occasion as a husband should. He said to me, 'I am your husband, and you are my wife. If I gathered everything from him, I would put it in a smaller vessel than the vessels of Abu Zar', and it wouldn't fill it.' Aisha said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'So I have been to you like Abu Zar'in father to Umm Zar'in.'"

    Eleven women sat (at a place) and promised and contracted that they would not conceal anything of the news of their husbands. The first one said, "My husband is like the meat of a slim weak camel which is kept on the top of a mountain which is neither easy to climb, nor is the meat fat, so that one might put up with the trouble of fetching it." The second one said, "I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may not be able to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will mention all his defects and bad traits." The third one said, "My husband, the "too-tall"! if I describe him (and he hears of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he will keep me hanging (neither divorcing me nor treating me as a wife)." The fourth one said, "My husband is (moderate in temper) like the night of Tihama: neither hot nor cold; I am neither afraid of him, nor am I discontented with him." The fifth one said, "My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard (sleeps a lot), and when going out, is a lion (boasts a lot). He does not ask about whatever is in the house." The sixth one said, "If my husband eats, he eats too much (leaving the dishes empty), and if he drinks he leaves nothing; if he sleeps he sleeps he rolls himself (alone in our blankets); and he does not insert his palm to inquire about my feelings." The seventh one said, "My husband is a wrong-doer or weak and foolish. All the defects are present in him. He may injure your head or your body or may do both." The eighth one said, "My husband is soft to touch like a rabbit and smells like a Zarnab (a kind of good smelling grass)." The ninth one said, "My husband is a tall generous man wearing a long strap for carrying his sword. His ashes are abundant (i.e. generous to his guests) and his house is near to the people (who would easily consult him)." The tenth one said, "My husband is Malik (possessor), and what is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He is beyond and above all praises which can come to my mind). Most of his camels are kept at home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are taken to the pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests." The eleventh one said, "My husband is Abu Zarʿ and what is Abu Zarʿ (i.e., what should I say about him)? He has given me many ornaments and my ears are heavily loaded with them and my arms have become fat (i.e., I have become fat). And he has pleased me, and I have become so happy that I feel proud of myself. He found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and living in poverty, and brought me to a respected family having horses and camels and threshing and purifying grain. Whatever I say, he does not rebuke or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep till late in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk), I drink my fill. The mother of Abu Zar and what may one say in praise of the mother of Abu Zar? Her saddle bags were always full of provision and her house was spacious. As for the son of Abu Zar, what may one say of the son of Abu Zar? His bed is as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four months) satisfies his hunger. As for the daughter of Abu Zar, she is obedient to her father and to her mother. She has a fat well-built body and that arouses the jealousy of her husband's other wife. As for the (maid) slave girl of Abu Zar, what may one say of the (maid) slavegirl of Abu Zar? She does not uncover our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our provisions and does not leave the rubbish scattered everywhere in our house." The eleventh lady added, "One day it so happened that Abu Zar went out at the time when the milk was being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two sons like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me and married her. Thereafter I married a noble man who used to ride a fast tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things, and also a pair of every kind of livestock and said, Eat (of this), O Um Zar, and give provision to your relatives." She added, "Yet, all those things which my second husband gave me could not fill the smallest utensil of Abu Zar's." ʿAisha then said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "I am to you as Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5189)

    ✧ For me, Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you were like a father who plants and a mother who waters. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is Abu Zar and who is Umm Zar?" He said, "Ten women gathered together and swore that they would not lie about their husbands. One of them said, 'I will not tell his secret, for I fear I will not be able to carry it.' Another said, 'He is like a wild bull on a mountain, neither fat nor thin, so he cannot be easily reached or moved.' Another said, 'When he eats, he devours and when he drinks, he drinks passionately, and his hands do not go into the dish without bringing out the bones.' Another said, 'He is like a night of full moon, neither hot nor cold, and there is no fear in him.' Another said, 'When he enters, he becomes like a leopard, and when he comes out, he becomes like a lion, and he does not ask about what he has entrusted.' Another said, 'His scent is like that of basil, and his touch is like that of a rabbit.' Another said, 'He is tall and slim, with mighty shoulders and ashes around him, and he is close to the house and can be easily called for.' Another said, 'He is a wealthy man, with many camels that travel long distances, though there are few blessings in their paths.' When they hear the sound of the flute, they are certain that he is the one.' Another said, 'He is Abu Zar.' I asked, 'Who is Abu Zar?' She replied, 'He is a man of blessings and agriculture who has made me forget my adornments, my ears and the flesh of my arms. He has possessed my own self, and whenever I am with him, I feel calm. I awake in the morning and drink. I quench my thirst and do not feel repulsed. I say, 'I will never be disgusted.' He took me from my family and placed me in the family of Suhayl, where I reside with loud noises, echoes, cracks, and dust. He is the son of Abu Zar.' I asked, 'Who is the son of Abu Zar?' She replied, 'His resting place is like a mountain peak, and the length of a sugar cane is enough for him.' She is the daughter of Abu Zar.' I asked, 'Who is the daughter of Abu Zar?' She replied, 'Her clothes are perfect, and her cloak is tied around her waist. She is a source of joy for her father and mother, and a decoration for her family. She is not metaphorical, but rather a servant of Abu Zar.' I asked, 'Who is the servant of Abu Zar?' She replied, 'He does not spread our secrets widely, nor does he spoil our manners. Abu Zar left me, and the camels began to give birth. He then saw a woman with two sons, like young leopards, playing under her. He married her and divorced me, and so I married a young man secretly. He left me poor, and took his share, then he brought me a lot of gifts and said, 'This is for your family, O Umm Zar.' I said, 'If all of this were placed in a vessel from Abu Zar's belongings, it would not be enough to fill it.' Aisha said, 'So I said, O Messenger of Allah, you are better for me than Abu Zar to Umm Zar.'

    ✧ "I took pride in the wealth of my father during the days of ignorance, as it amounted to a hundred thousand ounces. The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Be silent, O Aisha, for in my eyes, I am to you as Abu Zar would be to Umm Zar.' Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started talking about how eleven women had gathered during the pre-Islamic days and made a covenant to inform each other about their husbands without lying. It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'The night is a night of famine, without heat or cold, without fear.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'The wind is the wind of Zarnab, and it carries the scent of rabbits, and I am the majority, and the people are in majority.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know. It is a column with lofty pillars, a tall palm trunk, and a great heavy fire, close to the house where people gather.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'I married Malik, and Malik who? He has many grazing camels, a few blessings. When they hear the sound of strainers, they are certain that it is they.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'I mention my husband, and when I mention him, I mention Ojara and Buja, and I fear that I will not mention him.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know. When he enters, he is like a cheetah, and when he leaves, he is like a lion. He does not ask about what he entrusted.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'The flesh of a camel is lean on a mountain, neither in the fat nor in the easy ascent. It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'By Allah, I do not know. When he eats, he gulps, when he drinks, he gasps, when he slaughters, he says "help me", and when he sleeps, he snores, and his palm does not enter the palm of his hand, so he knows how to emit semen.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'I married Al-Asnanq. If he speaks, I am divorced, if he is silent, I am praised.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'The consequences of every disease has a cure, and it is either a tanner, a speck, or he gathers them all for you.' It was asked, 'Is it you, O Fulanah?' She said, 'I married Abu Zar, and who is Abu Zar? He is someone from adornments in my ears and full of fat in my shoulder, and he himself boasted, so I met him in a booty of war. He placed me between those who were staying and those who were returning, between the runners and the walker, and the taker of shares. I sleep with him, and I wake up in the morning and drink, and I have my morning food, and he has given me abundance from every creature as a gift.' Aisha said, 'So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed, you are better than Abu Zar.'"

    أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَّا يَكُونُ لَهَا زَوْجَانِ ثُمَّ تَمُوتُ فَتَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ وَزَوْجَاهَا لِأَيِّهِمَا تَكُونُ لِلْأَوَّلِ أَوْ لِلْآخَرِ؟ قَالَ «تَخَيَّرُ أَحْسَنَهُمَا خُلُقًا كَانَ مَعَهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا يَكُونُ زَوْجَهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَا أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ ذَهَبَ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ بِخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»

    ✧ Umm Ḥabībah said: O Messenger of Allah, a woman among us may have two husbands, then she dies and enters Paradise, she and her two husbands. To which of them will she belong, to the first or the last? He said: 'She will choose the one who had the best character with her in this world; he will be her husband in Paradise. O Umm Ḥabībah, good character takes away the good of this world and the Hereafter.'

    لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ انْكِحْ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ لِأُخْتِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوَ تُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ تُحَدِّثَ أَنَّكَ نَاكِحٌ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ؟» قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِأَنَّهَا بِنْتُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي أَنَا وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُ»

    ✧ It was said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Marry the daughter of Abū Sufyān,' meaning her sister. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Would you like that?' She said, 'Yes, I am not the only one for you, and the dearest of those who share good with me is my sister.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'That is not lawful.' Umm Ḥabībah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it has been said that you are marrying Durrah bt. Abī Salamah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The daughter of Umm Salamah?' Umm Ḥabībah said, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Even if she were not my stepdaughter under my care, she would not be lawful, for she is the daughter of my brother through suckling. Thuwaybah suckled me and Abū Salamah. So do not offer me your daughters or your sisters.'

    ✧ Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, informed her that she said: "O Messenger of God, marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." She claimed that the Messenger of God ﷺ said to her: "Would you like that?" She said: "Yes, O Messenger of God, I am not leaving you alone, and the one I would love to share good with me is my sister." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "That is not lawful for me." I said: "O Messenger of God, we have been talking that you want to marry Durrah bint Abi Salamah." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "The daughter of Abu Salamah?" She said: "Yes." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "By God, even if she were not my stepdaughter in my care, she would not be lawful for me, because she is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding. Thuwaybah nursed me and Abu Salamah. So do not offer me your daughters or your sisters."
