GodlyVerses

It was mentioned before'A'isha that prayer is invalidated (in case of passing) of a dog, an ass and a woman (before the worshipper, when he is not screened). Upon this 'A'isha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs. By Allah I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying prayer while I lay on the bedstead interposing between him and the Qibla. When I felt the need, I did not like to wit to front (of the Holy Prophet) and perturb the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and quietly moved out from under its (i. e. of the bedstead) legs. - Hadith Muslim 512d (islam)
Book 4, Hadith 305
Book 4, Hadith 1038

(wife of the Prophet) Since I reached the age when I could remember things, I have seen my parents
worshipping according to the right faith of Islam. Not a single day passed but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited
us both in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were persecuted, Abu Bakr set out for
Ethiopia as an emigrant. When he reached a place called Bark-al-Ghimad, he met Ibn Ad-Daghna, the
chief of the Qara tribe, who asked Abu Bakr, "Where are you going?" Abu Bakr said, "My people
have turned me out of the country and I would like to tour the world and worship my Lord." Ibn Ad-
Daghna said, "A man like you will not go out, nor will he be turned out as you help the poor earn their
living, keep good relation with your Kith and kin, help the disabled (or the dependents), provide
guests with food and shelter, and help people during their troubles. I am your protector. So, go back
and worship your Lord at your home." Ibn Ad-Daghna went along with Abu Bakr and took him to the
chiefs of Quraish saying to them, "A man like Abu Bakr will not go out, nor will he be turned out. Do
you turn out a man who helps the poor earn their living, keeps good relations with Kith and kin, helps
the disabled, provides guests with food and shelter, and helps the people during their troubles?"
So, Quraish allowed Ibn Ad-Daghna's guarantee of protection and told Abu- Bakr that he was secure,
and said to Ibn Ad-Daghna, "Advise Abu Bakr to worship his Lord in his house and to pray and read
what he liked and not to hurt us and not to do these things publicly, for we fear that our sons and
women may follow him." Ibn Ad-Daghna told Abu Bakr of all that, so Abu- Bakr continued
worshipping his Lord in his house and did not pray or recite Qur'an aloud except in his house. Later
on Abu Bakr had an idea of building a mosque in the court yard of his house. He fulfilled that idea and
started praying and reciting Qur'an there publicly. The women and the offspring of the pagans started
gathering around him and looking at him astonishingly. Abu Bakr was a softhearted person and could
not help weeping while reciting Qur'an. This horrified the pagan chiefs of Quraish. They sent for Ibn
Ad-Daghna and when he came, they said, "We have given Abu Bakr protection on condition that he
will worship his Lord in his house, but he has transgressed that condition and has built a mosque in
the court yard of his house and offered his prayer and recited Qur'an in public. We are afraid lest he
mislead our women and offspring. So, go to him and tell him that if he wishes he can worship his
Lord in his house only, and if not, then tell him to return your pledge of protection as we do not like to
betray you by revoking your pledge, nor can we tolerate Abu Bakr's public declaration of Islam (his
worshipping).
`Aisha added: Ibn Ad-Daghna came to Abu Bakr and said, "You know the conditions on which I gave
you protection, so you should either abide by those conditions or revoke my protection, as I do not
like to hear the 'Arabs saying that Ibn Ad-Daghna gave the pledge of protection to a person and his
people did not respect it." Abu Bakr said, "I revoke your pledge of protection and am satisfied with
Allah's protection." At that time Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was still in Mecca and he said to his companions,
"Your place of emigration has been shown to me. I have seen salty land, planted with date-palms and
situated between two mountains which are the two ,Harras." So, when the Prophet (ﷺ) told it, some of the
companions migrated to Medina, and some of those who had migrated to Ethiopia returned to Medina.
When Abu Bakr prepared for emigration, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Wait, for I expect to be
permitted to emigrate." Abu Bakr asked, "May my father be sacrificed for your sake, do you really
expect that?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative. So, Abu Bakr postponed his departure in order
to accompany Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and fed two camels which he had, with the leaves of Samor trees for
four months. - Hadith Al Bukhari 2297 (islam)
Book 39, Hadith 8
Vol. 3, Book 37, Hadith 494

(the wife of the Prophet) I never remembered my parents believing in any religion other than the true religion (i.e. Islam), and (I don't remember) a single day passing without our being visited by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were put to test (i.e. troubled by the pagans), Abu Bakr set out migrating to the land of Ethiopia, and when he reached Bark-al-Ghimad, Ibn Ad-Daghina, the chief of the tribe of Qara, met him and said, "O Abu Bakr! Where are you going?" Abu Bakr replied, "My people have turned me out (of my country), so I want to wander on the earth and worship my Lord." Ibn Ad-Daghina said, "O Abu Bakr! A man like you should not leave his home-land, nor should he be driven out, because you help the destitute, earn their livings, and you keep good relations with your Kith and kin, help the weak and poor, entertain guests generously, and help the calamity-stricken persons. Therefore I am your protector. Go back and worship your Lord in your town.
So Abu Bakr returned and Ibn Ad-Daghina accompanied him. In the evening Ibn Ad-Daghina visited the nobles of Quraish and said to them. "A man like Abu Bakr should not leave his homeland, nor should he be driven out. Do you (i.e. Quraish) drive out a man who helps the destitute, earns their living, keeps good relations with his Kith and kin, helps the weak and poor, entertains guests generously and helps the calamity-stricken persons?" So the people of Quraish could not refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's protection, and they said to Ibn Ad-Daghina, "Let Abu Bakr worship his Lord in his house. He can pray and recite there whatever he likes, but he should not hurt us with it, and should not do it publicly, because we are afraid that he may affect our women and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told Abu Bakr of all that. Abu Bakr stayed in that state, worshipping his Lord in his house. He did not pray publicly, nor did he recite Quran outside his house. Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr to build a mosque in front of his house, and there he used to pray and recite the Quran. The women and children of the pagans began to gather around him in great number. They used to wonder at him and look at him. Abu Bakr was a man who used to weep too much, and he could not help weeping on reciting the Quran. That situation scared the nobles of the pagans of Quraish, so they sent for Ibn Ad-Daghina. When he came to them, they said, "We accepted your protection of Abu Bakr on condition that he should worship his Lord in his house, but he has violated the conditions and he has built a mosque in front of his house where he prays and recites the Quran publicly. We are now afraid that he may affect our women and children unfavorably. So, prevent him from that. If he likes to confine the worship of his Lord to his house, he may do so, but if he insists on doing that openly, ask him to release you from your obligation to protect him, for we dislike to break our pact with you, but we deny Abu Bakr the right to announce his act publicly." Ibn Ad-Daghina went to Abu- Bakr and said, ("O Abu Bakr!) You know well what contract I have made on your behalf; now, you are either to abide by it, or else release me from my obligation of protecting you, because I do not want the 'Arabs hear that my people have dishonored a contract I have made on behalf of another man." Abu Bakr replied, "I release you from your pact to protect me, and am pleased with the protection from Allah.
At that time the Prophet (ﷺ) was in Mecca, and he said to the Muslims, "In a dream I have been shown your migration place, a land of date palm trees, between two mountains, the two stony tracts." So, some people migrated to Medina, and most of those people who had previously migrated to the land of Ethiopia, returned to Medina. Abu Bakr also prepared to leave for Medina, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Wait for a while, because I hope that I will be allowed to migrate also." Abu Bakr said, "Do you indeed expect this? Let my father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." So Abu Bakr did not migrate for the sake of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in order to accompany him. He fed two she-camels he possessed with the leaves of As-Samur tree that fell on being struck by a stick for four months
One day, while we were sitting in Abu Bakr's house at noon, someone said to Abu Bakr, "This is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with his head covered coming at a time at which he never used to visit us before." Abu Bakr said, "May my parents be sacrificed for him. By Allah, he has not come at this hour except for a great necessity." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and asked permission to enter, and he was allowed to enter. When he entered, he said to Abu Bakr. "Tell everyone who is present with you to go away." Abu Bakr replied, "There are none but your family. May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "i have been given permission to migrate." Abu Bakr said, "Shall I accompany you? May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! May my father be sacrificed for you, take one of these two she-camels of mine." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "(I will accept it) with payment." So we prepared the baggage quickly and put some journey food in a leather bag for them. Asma, Abu Bakr's daughter, cut a piece from her waist belt and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it, and for that reason she was named Dhat-un-Nitaqain (i.e. the owner of two belts)
Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr reached a cave on the mountain of Thaur and stayed there for three nights. 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr who was intelligent and a sagacious youth, used to stay (with them) aver night. He used to leave them before day break so that in the morning he would be with Quraish as if he had spent the night in Mecca. He would keep in mind any plot made against them, and when it became dark he would (go and) inform them of it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, used to bring the milch sheep (of his master, Abu Bakr) to them a little while after nightfall in order to rest the sheep there. So they always had fresh milk at night, the milk of their sheep, and the milk which they warmed by throwing heated stones in it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira would then call the herd away when it was still dark (before daybreak). He did the same in each of those three nights. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr had hired a man from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail from the family of Bani Abd bin Adi as an expert guide, and he was in alliance with the family of Al-'As bin Wail As-Sahmi and he was on the religion of the infidels of Quraish. The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr trusted him and gave him their two she-camels and took his promise to bring their two she camels to the cave of the mountain of Thaur in the morning after three nights later. And (when they set out), 'Amir bin Fuhaira and the guide went along with them and the guide led them along the sea-shore. - Hadith Al Bukhari 3905 (islam)

I went to her, and I did not know what she wanted. She took me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house, and I was panting. When I got my breath back, she took some water and wiped my face and head, and led me into the house. There were some woman of the Ansar inside the house, and they said: 'With blessings and good fortune (from Allah).' (My mother) handed me over to them and they tidied me up.

She took hold of my hand and took me to the door, and I was saying: Ha, ha (as if I was gasping), until the agitation of my heart was over. She took me to a house, where had gathered the women of the Ansar. They all blessed me and wished me good luck and said: May you have share in good. She (my mother) entrusted me to them.

good (i.e. presents etc.) as `Aisha does. You should tell Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell the people to send their
presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be." Um Salama said that to the
Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she
repeated the same, and the Prophet (ﷺ) again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third
time, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming `Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine

(The wife of the Prophet) Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lot
among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the lot had fallen. Once he drew lot
when he wanted to carry out a Ghazwa, and the lot came upon me. So I proceeded with Allah'
Apostle after Allah's order of veiling (the women) had been revealed and thus I was carried in m
howdah (on a camel) and dismounted while still in it. We carried on our journey, and when Allah'
Apostle had finished his Ghazwa and returned and we approached Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered t
proceed at night. When the army was ordered to resume the homeward journey, I got up and walke
on till I left the army (camp) behind. When I had answered the call of nature, I went towards m
howdah, but behold ! A necklace of mine made of Jaz Azfar (a kind of black bead) was broken and
looked for it and my search for it detained me
The group of people who used to carry me, came and carried my howdah on to the back of my came
on which I was riding, considering that I was therein. At that time women were light in weight an
were not fleshy for they used to eat little (food), so those people did not feel the lightness of th
howdah while raising it up, and I was still a young lady. They drove away the camel and proceeded
Then I found my necklace after the army had gone. I came to their camp but found nobody therein so
went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come back in my search
While I was sitting at my place, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Al-Mu'attil As-Sulami Adh
Dhakw-ani was behind the army. He had started in the last part of the night and reached my stationin
place in the morning and saw the figure of a sleeping person. He came to me and recognized me o
seeing me for he used to see me before veiling. I got up because of his saying: "Inna Li l-lahi wa inn
ilaihi rajiun," which he uttered on recognizing me. I covered my face with my garment, and by Allah
he did not say to me a single word except, "Inna Li l-lahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun," till he made his shecame
kneel down whereupon he trod on its forelegs and I mounted it. Then Safwan set out, leadin
the she-camel that was carrying me, till we met the army while they were resting during the ho
midday
Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell in destruction, and the leader of the Ifk (forge
statement) was `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After this we arrived at Medina and I became ill for on
month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the people of the Ifk, and I was no
aware of anything thereof. But what aroused my doubt while I was sick, was that I was no longe
receiving from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the same kindness as I used to receive when I fell sick. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ
would enter upon me, say a greeting and add, "How is that (lady)?" and then depart
That aroused my suspicion but I was not aware of the propagated evil till I recovered from m
ailment. I went out with Um Mistah to answer the call of nature towards Al-Manasi, the place wher
we used to relieve ourselves, and used not to go out for this purpose except from night to night, an
that was before we had lavatories close to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habi
of the old 'Arabs (in the deserts or in the tents) concerning the evacuation of the bowels, for w
considered it troublesome and harmful to take lavatories in the houses. So I went out with Um Mista
who was the daughter of Abi Ruhm bin `Abd Manaf, and her mother was daughter of Sakhr bin Ami
who was the aunt of Abi Bakr As-Siddiq, and her son was Mistah bin Uthatha. When we had finishe
our affair, Um Mistah and I came back towards my house. Um Mistah stumbled over her rob
whereupon she said, "Let Mistah be ruined ! " I said to her, "What a bad word you have said! Do yo
abuse a man who has taken part in the Battle of Badr?' She said, "O you there! Didn't you hear wha
he has said?" I said, "And what did he say?" She then told me the statement of the people of the If
(forged statement) which added to my ailment. When I returned home, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me
and after greeting, he said, "How is that (lady)?" I said, "Will you allow me to go to my parents?" A
that time I intended to be sure of the news through them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) allowed me and I went to m
parents and asked my mother, "O my mother! What are the people talking about?" My mother said
"O my daughter! Take it easy, for by Allah, there is no charming lady who is loved by her husban
who has other wives as well, but that those wives would find fault with her." I said, "Subhan Allah
Did the people really talk about that?
That night I kept on weeping the whole night till the morning. My tears never stopped, nor did I sleep
and morning broke while I was still weeping, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called `Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bi
Zaid when the Divine Inspiration delayed, in order to consult them as to the idea of divorcing his wife
Usama bin Zaid told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what he knew about the innocence of his wife and of hi
affection he kept for her. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She is your wife, and we do not know anythin
about her except good." But `Ali bin Abi Talib said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah does not impos
restrictions on you; and there are plenty of women other than her. If you however, ask (her) slave girl
she will tell you the truth." `Aisha added: So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called for Barira and said, "O Barira! Di
you ever see anything which might have aroused your suspicion? (as regards Aisha). Barira said, "B
Allah Who has sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything regarding Aisha which I woul
blame her for except that she is a girl of immature age who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough o
her family unprotected so that the domestic goats come and eat it.
So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up (and addressed) the people an asked for somebody who would take reveng
on `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul then. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), while on the pulpit, said, "O Muslims! Wh
will help me against a man who has hurt me by slandering my family? By Allah, I know nothin
except good about my family, and people have blamed a man of whom I know nothing except good
and he never used to visit my family except with me," Sa`d bin Mu`adh Al-Ansari got up and said, "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I will relieve you from him. If he be from the tribe of (Bani) Al-Aus, then
will chop his head off; and if he be from our brethren, the Khazraj, then you give us your order and w
will obey it.
On that, Sa`d bin 'Ubada got up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj, and before this incident he ha
been a pious man but he was incited by his zeal for his tribe. He said to Sa`d (bin Mu`adh), "By Alla
the Eternal, you have told a lie! You shall not kill him and you will never be able to kill him!" On that
Usaid bin Hudair, the cousin of Sa`d (bin Mu`adh) got up and said to Sa`d bin 'Ubada, "You are a liar
By Allah the Eternal, we will surely kill him; and you are a hypocrite defending the hypocrites!" S
the two tribes of Al-Aus and Al-Khazraj got excited till they were on the point of fighting with eac
other while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was standing on the pulpit. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued quietening them til
they became silent whereupon he became silent too. On that day I kept on weeping so much tha
neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me, and I had wep
for two nights and a day without sleeping and with incessant tears till they thought that my liver woul
burst with weeping. While they were with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked permissio
to see me. I admitted her and she sat and started weeping with me. While I was in that state, Allah'
Apostle came to us, greeted, and sat down,. He had never sat with me since the day what was said
was said. He had stayed a month without receiving any Divine Inspiration concerning my case
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited the Tashahhud after he had sat down, and then said, "Thereafter, O `Aisha!
have been informed such and-such a thing about you; and if you are innocent, Allah will reveal you
innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him, fo
when a slave confesses his sin and then repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance." When Allah'
Apostle had finished his speech, my tears ceased completely so that I no longer felt even a dro
thereof. Then I said to my father, "Reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf as to what he said." He said
"By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Then I said to my mother, "Reply to Allah'
Apostle.
She said, "I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Still a young girl as I was and though I ha
little knowledge of Qur'an, I said, "By Allah, I know that you heard this story (of the Ifk) so much s
that it has been planted in your minds and you have believed it. So now, if I tell you that I a
innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me; and if I confess something
and Allah knows that I am innocent of it, you will believe me. By Allah, I cannot find of you a
example except that of Joseph's father: "So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which yo
assert and it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought. Then I turned away and lay on my bed, an
at that time I knew that I was innocent and that Allah would reveal my innocence. But by Allah,
never thought that Allah would sent down about my affair, Divine Inspiration that would be recite
(forever), as I considered myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something that was to b
recited: but I hoped that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) might have a vision in which Allah would prove m
innocence. By Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not left his seat and nobody had left the house when th
Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . So there overtook him the same hard condition whic
used to overtake him (when he was Divinely Inspired) so that the drops of his sweat were runnin
down, like pearls, though it was a (cold) winter day, and that was because of the heaviness of th
Statement which was revealed to him. When that state of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was over, and he wa
smiling when he was relieved, the first word he said was, "Aisha, Allah has declared your innocence.
My mother said to me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By Allah, I will not go to him and I will no
thank anybody but Allah." So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who spread the Slander are a gang amon
you. Think it not...." (24.11-20)
When Allah revealed this to confirm my innocence, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to provide fo
Mistah bin Uthatha because of the latter's kinship to him and his poverty, said, "By Allah, I will neve
provide for Mistah anything after what he has said about Aisha". So Allah revealed
(continued...
(continuing... 1): -6.274:... ..
"Let not those among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give (help) to their kinsmen
those in need, and those who have left their homes for Allah's Cause. Let them Pardon and forgiv
(i.e. do not punish them). Do you not love that should forgive you? Verily Allah is Oft-forgiving
Most Merciful." (24.22
Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, I wish that Allah should forgive me." So he resumed giving Mistah th
aid he used to give him before and said, "By Allah, I will never withold it from him at all." Aish
further said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also asked Zainab bint Jahsh about my case. He said, "O Zainab! Wha
have you seen?" She replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I protect my hearing and my sight (by refrainin
from telling lies). I know nothing but good (about Aisha)." Of all the wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), it wa
Zainab who aspired to receive from him the same favor as I used to receive, yet, Allah saved he
(from telling lies) because of her piety. But her sister, Hamna, kept on fighting on her behalf so sh
was destroyed as were those who invented and spread the slander. - Hadith Al Bukhari 4750 (islam)
Book 65, Hadith 272
Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 274

'A'isha said: Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to set out on a journey he cast lots amongst his wives and he took one with him in whose favour the lot was cast. It so happened that he cast lots amongst us while setting out on a battle and it was cast in my favour, so I set out along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). This relates to the period when the revelation concerning the commands of veil had been made. I was carried in a haudaj and I was brought down where we had to stay. In short, when we set out for return journey from the expedition and our caravan was near Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded one night to march forward. I also got up when the command for the march was given and moved on until I went out of the encampments of the army and after relieving myself I came to my place. I touched my chest and found that my necklace which had been made of the stones of zafar had been broken. I retraced my steps and tried to search my necklace and this detained me there. The group of people who saddled my ride and placed my haudaj carrying me upon the camels marched on. They were under the impression that I was in it. The women in those days were light of weight and they did not wear much flesh, as they ate less food; so they did not perceive the weight of my haudaj as they placed it upon the camel as I was a young girl at that time. So they drove the camel and Eet out and I found my necklace after the army had marched. I came to my place and there was none to call and none to respond (the call)
I waited at my place under the impression that when the people would riot find me they would come back. So I kept sitting at my place. I was overpowered by sleep and slept. Safwan b. Mu'attal Sulami Dhakwini, who had lagged behind the army because of taking rest came to my place walking in the latter part of the night and he saw the body of a person who was asleep. He came to me and recognised me as he had seen rue before it was enjoined to observe purda. I got ap by his voice as he recited Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un [we are for Allah and to Him we have to return. ] and I covered my head with my headdress. By Allah, he did not speak to me a word and I did not hear a word from him except Inna lillahi. He made his camel kneel down and I amounted the camel as he pressed tLe camel's foreleg and he moved on leaning the camel by the nose string on which I was riding until we came to the army where it had encamped for rest because of extreme heat. Woe be upon those who harboured doubts about me and the most notorious among them was 'Abdullah b. Ubayy, the great hypocrite. We came to Medina and I fell sick for a month. The people had been deliberating over the statements of those who had brought these calumnies against me. I was absolutely unaware of anything concerning that. This, however, caused doubt in my mind that I did not see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him.) treating me with such kindness with which he treated me as I fell ill before this. The Prophet (ﷺ) would coome and greet me with Assalam-o-'Alaikum and only ask me how I was. This caused doubt in my mind, but I was unaware of the evil. I wept outside despite my failing health and there went along with me Umm Mistah and she said the daughter of Abu Rhm b. Muttalib b. 'Abd Manaf and his mother was the daughter of Sakhr b. 'Amir, the sister of the mother of Abu Bakr Sidiq and his son was Mistah b. Uthatha b. 'Abbad b. Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Rahm set towards the direction of my house. Something got into the head dress of Umm Mistah and she said: Woe be upon Mistah. And I said. Woe be upon what you say. Do you curse people who had participated in Badr? She said: Innocent woman, have you not heard what he said? I said: What did he say? She conveyed to me the statement of those who had brought false allegations against me. So my illness was aggravated
I went to my house and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and he greeted me and then said: How is that woman? I said: Do you permit me to go to the (house) of my parents? She (further) said: I had at that time made up my mind to confirm this news from them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) permitted me. So I came to (the house of) my parents and said to my mother: Mother, do you know what the people are talking about? She said: My daughter, you should not worry. By Allah, if there is a handsome woman who is loved by her husband and he has co-wives also they talk many a thing about her. I said: Hallowed be Allah, what are the people talking about? I wept during the whole night until it was morning and I did not have a wink of sleep and I wept even in the morning. As the revelation was delayed (in regard to this matter), so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called 'Ali ibn Abi 'Talib and Usama b. Zaid in order to seek their advice in regard to the separation of his wife. Usama b. Zaid told Allah's Messenger (may peace be apen him) about the innocence of his wives and what he knew about his love for them. He said: Allah's Messenger, they are your wives and we know nothing else about them but goodness. And as for 'Ali b. Abu Talib, he said: Allah has not put any unnecessary burden upon you (in regard to your wives). There are a number of women besides her and if you ask that maidservant (Barira) she will tell you the truth. So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called Bailra and said: Barira, did you see anything in 'A'isha which can cause doubt about her? Barira said: By Him Who sent thee with the truth, I have seen nothing objectionable in her but only this much that she is a young girl and she goes to sleep while kneading the flour and the lamb eats that. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mounted the pulpit and sought vindication against 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul, and he further said: Who would exonerate me from imputations of that person who has troubled (me) in regard to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is, according to my knowledge, a thoroughly pious person, and he did never get into my house but along with me. Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, I defend your honour against him. If he belong to the tribe of Aus we would strike his neck and if he belongs to the tribe of our brother Khazraj and you order us we would comply with your order
Then Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up. He was chief of the Khazraj tribe. He was otherwise a pioas man but he had some what tribal partisanship in him and he said to Sa'd b. Mu'adh: By the everlasting existence of Allah. you are not stating the fact, you will not be able to kill him and you will not have the power to do so. Thereupon, Usaid b. Hudair stood up, and he was the first cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh and said to Sa'd b. 'Ubada: By the everlasting existence of Allah, you are not stating the fact. We would kill him. You are a hypocrite and so you argue in defence of the hypocrites, and thus both the tribes Aus and Khazraj were flared up, until they were about to fall upon one another and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept standing upon the pulpit and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) tried to subside their anger until they became silent and thus there was silence. 'A'isha further reported: I spent the whole day in weeping and even the night and could not have a wink of sleep even next night. My parents thought that this constant weeping of mine would break my heart. I wept and they sat beside me. In the meanwhile a woman of the Ansar came to see me. I permitted her to see me and she also began to weep. And we were in this very state that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and he greeted me and then sat down. He had never sat with me since a month when this rumour was afloat, and there was no revelation (to clarity) my case. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited Tashahhud (there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said: Coming to the point, 'A'isha, this is what has reached me about you and if you are innocent, Allah would Himself vindicate your honour, and if accidentally there has been a lapse on your part seek forgiveness of Allah; He will pardon thee for when a servant makes a confession of his fault and turns (to Him) penitently, Allah also turns to him (mercifully) accepting his repentance
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked, my tears dried up and not even a single drop of tear was perceived by me (rolling out of my eyes). I said to my father: You give a reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf. He said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I then said to my mother: Give a reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf, but she said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I was a small girl at that time and I had not read much of the Qur'an (but I said): By Allah, I perceive that you have heard about this and it has settled down in your mind and you have taken it to be true, so if I say to you that I am quite innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would never believe me to be true, and if I confess to (the alleged) lapse before you, whereas Allah knows that I am completely innocent (and I have not committed this sin at all), in that case You will take me to be true and, by Allah, I, therefore, find no other alternative for me and for you except that what the father of Yousuf said:, (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought for in that (predicament) which ye describe" (xii 18). After this I turned my face to the other side and lay down on my bed. By Allah, I was fully aware of this fact that I was innocent but I did not expect that Allah would descend Wahy Matlu (Qur'anic Wahy) in my case as I did not think myself so much important that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would speak in this matter in words to be recited. I only hoped that Allah would in vision give an indication of my innocence to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during his sleep. And, by Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not moved an inch from where he had been sitting and none from the members of my family had gone that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, descended revelation upon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) there and then and he felt the burden which he used to feel at the time of receiving revelation. He began to perspire because of the burden of words of Allah as they descended upon him even during the winter season and there fell the drops of his sweat like silvery beads. When this state of receiving revelation was over, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled and the first words which he spoke to me were that he said: 'A'isha, there is glad tidings for you. Verily, Allah has vindicated your honour, and my mother who had been standing by me said: Get up (and thank him, i. e. the Holy Prophet). I said: By Allah, I shall not thank him and laud him but Allah Who has descended revelation vindicating my honour. She ('A'isha) said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:" 'Verily, those who spread the slander are a gang among you" (and) ten (subsequent) verses in regard to my innocence. She further said: Abu Bakr used to give to Mistah (some stipend) as a token of kinship with him and for his poverty and he (Abu Bakr) said: By Allah, now I would not spend anything for him. 'A'isha said: It was upon this that Allah the Exalted and Glorious revealed this verse:" And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear to give to the near of the kin" up to" Yearn ye not that Allah may forgive you?" Hibban b. Musa' said that 'Abdullah b. Mubarak used to say: It is a verse contained in the Book which most (eminently) brightens the hope
Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I wish that Allah should pardon me. I shall never stop this stipend. So he continued to give him the stipend which he had withdrawn. 'A'isha said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), about me what she knew or what she had seen in me, and she said: Allah's Messenger, I shall not say anything without hearing (with my ears) and seeing with my eyes. By Allah, I find nothing in her but goodness. (And she stated this in spite of the fact) that she was the only lady who amongst the wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) used to vie with me but Allah saved her in bringing false allegation against me because of her God-consciousness. Her sister Hamna bint Jahsh, however, opposed her and she was undone along with others. - Hadith Muslim 2770a (islam)

"Aishah said: 'Shall I not tell you about me and about the Prophet?' We said: 'Yes.' She said: 'When it was my night when he was with me' - meaning the Prophet -'He came back (from 'Isha' prayer), put his sandals by his feet and spread the edge of his Izar on his bed. He stayed until he thought that I had gone to sleep. Then he put his sandals on slowly, picked up his cloak slowly, then opened the door slowly and went out slowly. I covered my head, put on my vie and tightened my waist wrapper, then I followed his steps until he came to Al-Baqi'. He raised his hands three times, and stood there for a long time, then he left and I left. He hastened and I also hastened; he ran and I also ran. He came (to the house) and I also came, but I got there first and entered, and as I lay down he came in. He said: "Tell me, or the Subtle, the All-Aware will tell me.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you,' and I told him (the whole story). He said: 'So you were the black shape that I saw in front of me?' I said, 'Yes.' He gave me a nudge on the chest which I felt, then he said: 'Did you think that Allah and His Messenger would deal unjustly with you?' I said: 'Whatever the people conceal, Allah knows it.' He said: Jibril came to me when I saw you, but he did not enter upon me because you where not fully dressed. He called me but he concealed that from you, and I answered him, but I concealed that from you too. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you up, and I was afraid that you would be frightened. He told me to go to Al-Baqi' and pray for forgiveness for them.' I said: 'What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Say" Peace be upon the inhabitants of this place among the believers and Muslims. May Allah have mercy upon those who have gone on ahead of us and those who come later on, and we will join you, if Allah wills."' - Hadith An Nasai 2037 (islam)

He (the narrator) said: I told that I saw in a dream what a sleeper sees. She said: Did you find (any mark of the fluid) on your clothes?
