Narrated Masruq:I asked Um Ruman, `Aisha's mother about the accusation forged against `Aisha. She said, "While I was sitting with `Aisha, an Ansari woman came to us and said, 'Let Allah condemn such-and-such person.' I asked her, 'Why do you say so?' She replied, 'For he has spread the (slanderous) story.' `Aisha said, 'What story?' The woman then told her the story. `Aisha asked, 'Have Abu Bakr and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard about it ?' She said, 'Yes.' `Aisha fell down senseless (on hearing that), and when she came to her senses, she got fever and shaking of the body. The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked, 'What is wrong with her?' I said, 'She has got fever because of a story which has been rumored.' `Aisha got up and said, 'By Allah! Even if I took an oath, you would not believe me, and if I put forward an excuse, You would not excuse me. My example and your example is just like that example of Jacob and his sons.

(12.18) The Prophet (ﷺ) left and then Allah revealed the Verses (concerning the matter), and on that `Aisha said, 'Thanks to Allah (only) and not to anybody else

حدثنا محمد بن سلام، اخبرنا ابن فضيل، حدثنا حصين، عن شقيق، عن مسروق، قال سالت ام رومان، وهى ام عايشة، عما قيل فيها ما قيل قالت بينما انا مع عايشة جالستان، اذ ولجت علينا امراة من الانصار، وهى تقول فعل الله بفلان وفعل. قالت فقلت لم قالت انه نما ذكر الحديث. فقالت عايشة اى حديث فاخبرتها. قالت فسمعه ابو بكر ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت نعم. فخرت مغشيا عليها، فما افاقت الا وعليها حمى بنافض، فجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ما لهذه ". قلت حمى اخذتها من اجل حديث تحدث به، فقعدت فقالت والله لين حلفت لا تصدقوني، ولين اعتذرت لا تعذروني، فمثلي ومثلكم كمثل يعقوب وبنيه، فالله المستعان على ما تصفون. فانصرف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فانزل الله ما انزل، فاخبرها فقالت بحمد الله لا بحمد احد
