6679. Narrated Az-Zuhri: I heard 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair, Sa'id bin Al-Musaiyab, Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Uqba relating from 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ the narration of the people (i.e., the liars) who spread the slander against her and they said what they said, and how Allāh revealed her innocence. Each of them related to me a portion of that narration. (They said that 'Aishah said), "Then Allāh revealed the ten Verses starting with: 'Verily! Those who brought forth the slander...' (V.24:11-21) All these Verses were in proof of my innocence. Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq who used to provide for Mīṣṭāh some financial aid because of his relationship to him, said, 'By Allāh, I will never give anything to Mīṣṭāh after what he has said about 'Aishah.'(1) Then Allāh revealed: 'And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen...' (V.24:22) "On that, Abū Bakr said, 'Yes, by Allāh, I like that Allāh should forgive me.' And then resumed giving Mīṣṭāh the aid he used to give him and said, 'By Allāh! I will never withhold it from him.' "

6679 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الحَجَّاجُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الأَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ المُسَيِّبِ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ، وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الإِفْكِ مَا قَالُوا، فَبَرَّأَهَا اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا، كُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الحَدِيثِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالإِفْكِ} العَشْرَ الآيَاتِ كُلَّهَا فِي بَرَاءَتِي، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ، وَكَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْهُ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُنْفِقُ عَلَى مِسْطَحٍ شَيْئًا أَبَدًا، بَعْدَ الَّذِي قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {وَلاَ يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ، أَنْ يُؤْتُوا أُولِي القُرْبَى} الآيَةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: " بَلَى وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لِي، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مِسْطَحٍ النَّفَقَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْهُ أَبَدًا "
