Sahih al-Bukhari 2532 (Book 52, Hadith 1)
what they invented about `Aisha, and the Divine Inspiration was delayed, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent for `Ali
and Usama to consult them in divorcing his wife (i.e. `Aisha). Usama said, “Keep your wife, as we
know nothing about her except good.” Barirah said, “I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she
is still a young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family’s dough which the domestic goats come to eat
(i.e. she was too simpleminded to deceive her husband).” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Who can help me to
take revenge over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my family? By Allah, I
have not known about my family-anything except good, and they mentioned (i.e. accused) a man
about whom I did not know anything except good.”
“ مَنْ يَعْذِرُنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي إِلاَّ خَيْرًا، وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلاً مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا ”.
