3835. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: A black lady slave of some of the Arabs embraced Islām and she had a hut in the mosque. She used to visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: "The day of the scarf was one of our Lord's Wonders. Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr." When she said the above verse many times, I ('Aishah) asked her, "What was the day of the scarf?" She replied, "Once the daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her neck) and the leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a piece of meat. They (i.e., my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent that they even looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in great distress, suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf and they took it. I said to them "This is what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent."

3835 - حَدَّثَنِي فَرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي المَغْرَاءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: " أَسْلَمَتِ امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ لِبَعْضِ العَرَبِ وَكَانَ لَهَا حِفْشٌ فِي المَسْجِدِ، قَالَتْ: فَكَانَتْ تَأْتِينَا فَتَحَدَّثُ عِنْدَنَا، فَإِذَا فَرَغَتْ مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا قَالَتْ: وَيَوْمُ الوِشَاحِ مِنْ تَعَاجِيبِ رَبِّنَا، ... أَلاَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ الكُفْرِ أَنْجَانِي فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَتْ، قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ: وَمَا يَوْمُ الوِشَاحِ؟ قَالَتْ: خَرَجَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةٌ لِبَعْضِ أَهْلِي، وَعَلَيْهَا وِشَاحٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْهَا، فَانْحَطَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الحُدَيَّا، وَهِيَ تَحْسِبُهُ لَحْمًا، فَأَخَذَتْهُ فَاتَّهَمُونِي بِهِ فَعَذَّبُونِي، حَتَّى بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِي أَنَّهُمْ طَلَبُوا فِي قُبُلِي، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ حَوْلِي وَأَنَا فِي كَرْبِي، إِذْ أَقْبَلَتِ الحُدَيَّا حَتَّى وَازَتْ بِرُءُوسِنَا، ثُمَّ أَلْقَتْهُ، فَأَخَذُوهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: هَذَا الَّذِي اتَّهَمْتُمُونِي بِهِ وَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ "
