Narrated Masruq bin Al-Ajda:Um Ruman, the mother of `Aisha said that while `Aisha and she were sitting, an Ansari woman came and said, "May Allah harm such and-such a person!" Um Ruman said to her, What is the matter?" She replied, "My son was amongst those who talked of the story (of the Slander)." Um Ruman said, "What is that?" She said, "So-and-so..." and narrated the whole story. On that `Aisha said, "Did Allah's Apostle hear about that?" She replied, "Yes." `Aisha further said, "And Abu Bakr too?" She replied, "Yes." On that, `Aisha fell down fainting, and when she came to her senses, she had got fever with rigors. I put her clothes over her and covered her.

Um Ruman said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) then went out saying nothing. Then Allah declared her innocence. On that, `Aisha said (to the Prophet), "I thank Allah only; thank neither anybody else nor you

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا ابو عوانة، عن حصين، عن ابي وايل، قال حدثني مسروق بن الاجدع، قال حدثتني ام رومان وهى ام عايشة رضى الله عنها قالت بينا انا قاعدة انا وعايشة اذ ولجت امراة من الانصار فقالت فعل الله بفلان وفعل. فقالت ام رومان وما ذاك قالت ابني فيمن حدث الحديث. قالت وما ذاك قالت كذا وكذا. قالت عايشة سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت نعم. قالت وابو بكر قالت نعم. فخرت مغشيا عليها، فما افاقت الا وعليها حمى بنافض، فطرحت عليها ثيابها فغطيتها. فجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ما شان هذه ". قلت يا رسول الله اخذتها الحمى بنافض. قال " فلعل في حديث تحدث به ". قالت نعم. فقعدت عايشة فقالت والله لين حلفت لا تصدقوني، ولين قلت لا تعذروني، مثلي ومثلكم كيعقوب وبنيه، والله المستعان على ما تصفون، قالت وانصرف ولم يقل شييا، فانزل الله عذرها قالت بحمد الله لا بحمد احد ولا بحمدك
