Sahih al-Bukhari 6435 (Book 83, Hadith 56)
`Abdullah bin `Uqba relating from `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) the narration of the people (i.e. the
liars) who spread the slander against her and they said what they said, and how Allah revealed her
innocence. 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 Mistah
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.”
