Volume 9, Book 93, Number 591:
Narrated ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
Sa’id bin Al-Musaiyab, ‘Alqama bin Waqqas and ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah regarding the narrat –
ing 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 my –
self 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
Surat-an-Nur) (24.11-20)
