4690. Narrated Az-Zuhri: ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair, Sa’id bin Al-Mūsaiyab, ‘Alqama bin Waqqāsh and ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Abdullāh related the narration of ‘Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when the slanderers had said about her what they had said and Allah later declared her innocence. Each of them related a part of the narration (wherein) the Prophet ﷺ said (to ‘Āishah), “If you are innocent, then Allah will declare your innocence; but if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him.” ‘Aishah said, “By Allāh, I find no example for my case except that of Yūsuf’s (Joseph’s) father (when he said), ‘So (for me) patience is most fitting. And it is Allāh (Alone) whose help can be sought against that (lie) which you describe.’” Then Allāh revealed the ten Verses: “Verily! those who brought forth the slander are a group among you...” (V.24:11)

4690 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الحَجَّاجُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الأَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ المُسَيِّبِ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ، وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللَّهُ، كُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الحَدِيثِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنْ كُنْتِ بَرِيئَةً فَسَيُبَرِّئُكِ اللَّهُ، وَإِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللَّهَ وَتُوبِي إِلَيْهِ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَجِدُ مَثَلًا، إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ {فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ المُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ} [يوسف: 18]، وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ} العَشْرَ الآيَاتِ
