Sahih al-Bukhari 4484 (Book 65, Hadith 212)
related the narration of `Aisha, the wife the Prophet, when the slanderers had said about her what they
had said and Allah later declared her innocence. Each of them related a part of the narration (wherein)
the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to `Aisha). “If you are innocent, then Allah will declare your innocence: but if you
have committed a sin, then ask for Allah’s Forgiveness and repent to him.” `Aisha said, “By Allah, I
find no example for my case except that of Joseph’s father (when he said), ‘So (for me) patience is
most fitting.’ ” Then Allah revealed the ten Verses:– “Verily those who spread the slander are a gang
amongst you..” (24.11)
