7369. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها after the slanderers had given a forged statement against her: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ called 'Ali bin Abī Tālib and Usāma bin Zaid when the Divine Revelation was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult them about the question of divorcing me. Usāma gave his opinion that was based on what he knew about my innocence, but 'Ali said, "Allāh has not put restrictions on you and there are many women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave-girl who will tell you the truth." So the Prophet ﷺ asked Barīra (my slave-girl), "Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She replied, "I have not seen anything more than that she is a young girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet ﷺ stood on the pulpit and said, "O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By Allāh, I know nothing about my family except good." The narrator added: Then the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the innocence of 'Aishah. [See Hadīth No.4750] (1) (Ch.28) This indicates that when the solution of a problem is found in the Qur'ān, or in the Sunna, it does not need any consultation.

7369 - حَدَّثَنَا الأُوَيْسِيُّ عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ، وَابْنُ المُسَيِّبِ، وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا، قَالَتْ: وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَأُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ، حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الوَحْيُ، يَسْأَلُهُمَا وَهُوَ يَسْتَشِيرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ، فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ: فَأَشَارَ بِالَّذِي يَعْلَمُ مِنْ بَرَاءَةِ أَهْلِهِ، وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ: لَمْ يُضَيِّقِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ، وَالنِّسَاءُ سِوَاهَا كَثِيرٌ، وَسَلِ الجَارِيَةَ تَصْدُقْكَ. فَقَالَ: «هَلْ رَأَيْتِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَرِيبُكِ؟»، قَالَتْ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَمْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ، تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا، فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ، فَقَامَ عَلَى المِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ المُسْلِمِينَ، مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِي، وَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي إِلَّا خَيْرًا» فَذَكَرَ بَرَاءَةَ عَائِشَةَ،
