Narrated Az-Zuhri:
I heard ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-Musaiyab, ‘Alqama bin Waqqas and ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Ab –
dullah bin ‘Uqba relating from ‘Aisha, the wife of the Prophet the narration of the people (i.e. the li –
ars) who spread the slander against her and they said what they said, and how Allah revealed her in –
nocence. Each of them related to me a portion of that narration. (They said that ‘Aisha said), ”Then
Allah revealed the ten Verses starting with:–‘Verily! Those who spread the slander..’ (24.11-21)
All these verses were in proof of my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to provide for Mis –
tah some financial aid because of his relation to him, said, “By Allah, I will never give anything (in
charity) to Mistah, after what he has said about ‘Aisha” Then Allah revealed:– ‘And let not those
among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kins men….’
(24.22) On that, Abu Bakr said, “Yes, by Allah, I like that Allah should forgive me.” and then resumed
giving Mistah the aid he used to give him and said, “By Allah! I will never withhold it from him.”

I went along with some men from the Ash-ariyin to Allah’s Apostle and it happened that I met him
while he was in an angry mood. We asked him to provide us with mounts, but he swore that he
would not give us any. Later on he said, “By Allah, Allah willing, if ever I take an oath (to do some –
thing) and later on I find something else better than the first, then I do the better one and give expi –
ation for the dissolution of my oath.”

something against his oath due to forgetfulness should he make expiation?). And the Statement of
Allah: ‘And there is no blame on you if you make a mistake therein.’ (33.5) And Allah said:– ‘(Moses

was to be done before such-and-such a thing.” Another man got up, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! As
regards these three (acts of Hajj), thought so-and-so.” The Prophet said, “Do, and there is no harm,”
