people searched for it but they did not find it. So they accused me of stealing it and started searching
me and even searched my private parts.” The slave girl further said, “By Allah! while I was standing
(in that state) with those people, the same kite passed by them and dropped the red scarf and it fell
amongst them. I told them, ‘This is what you accused me of and I was innocent and now this is it.’ ”
‘Aisha added: That slave girl came to Allah’s Apostle and embraced Islam. She had a tent or a small
room with a low roof in the mosque. Whenever she called on me, she had a talk with me and
whenever she sat with me, she would recite the following: “The day of the scarf (band) was one of the
wonders of our Lord, verily He rescued me from the disbelievers’ town. ‘Aisha added: “Once I asked
her, ‘What is the matter with you? Whenever you sit with me, you always recite these poetic verses.’
On that she told me the whole story. “
