حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَيْلِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْکِ مَا قَالُوا فَبَرَّأَهَا اللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا وَکُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ وَلَکِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا کُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُنْزِلُ فِي بَرَائَتِي وَحْيًا يُتْلَی وَلَشَأْنِي فِي نَفْسِي کَانَ أَحْقَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَکَلَّمَ اللَّهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَی وَلَکِنِّي کُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَرَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّوْمِ رُؤْيَا يُبَرِّئُنِي اللَّهُ بِهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَائُوا بِالْإِفْکِ الْعَشْرَ الْآيَاتِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7500
Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah regarding the narrating of the forged statement against `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when the slanderers said what they said and Allah revealed her innocence. `Aisha said, "But by Allah, I did not think that Allah, (to confirm my innocence), would reveal Divine Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider myself too unimportant to be talked about by Allah through Divine Inspiration revealed for recitation, but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah revealed:-- 'Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang among you...' (The ten Verses in Suratan- Nur) (24.11-20)
