English translation

785. It was reported from Humaid Al-A’raj Al-Makkī, from Ibn Shihāb, from ‘Urwah from ‘Aishah; he mentioned the 'Incident of the Slander,' and in it, she said, "...So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sat, and uncovered his face, and recited: A'ūdhu bins-sami'l-'alimi minash-shaitānir-rajīm; (I seek refuge in Allāh, the Hearer (of all), the Knower (of everything), from Shaitān, the accursed). 'Those that have brought forth the slander are a group among you...' to the end of the Verse."[1] (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: This Hadīth is Munkar. A group narrated it from Az-Zuhri without mentioning this (the phrase, 'I seek refuge in Allāh...'). And I fear that this addition is from the wordings of Humaid.

785 - حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الْأَعْرَجُ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَذَكَرَ الْإِفْكَ، قَالَتْ: جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَقَالَ: " أَعُوذُ بِالسَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} الْآيَةَ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ قَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا هَذَا الْكَلَامَ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّرْحِ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمْرُ الِاسْتِعَاذَةِ مِنْ كَلَامِ حُمَيْدٍ
