A'Isha reported:When I came under discussion what the people had to say about me, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for delivering an address and he recited tashahhud (I bear witness to the fact that iheie is no god but Allah) and praised Allah, lauded Him what He rightly deserves and then said: Coming to the point. Give me an advice about them who have brought false charge about my family. By Allah, I know no evil in the members of my family and the person in connection with whom the false charge is being levelled, I know no evil in him too. And he never entered my house but in my presence and when I was away on a journey, he remained with me even in that. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this change that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to my house and asked my maidservant and she said: By Allah, I know no fault in her but this that she sleeps, and goat comes and eats the kneaded flour. Some of the Companions (of the Holy Prophet) scolded her and said: State the fact before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and they even made a pointed reference (to this incident). She said: gallowed be Allah. By Allah, I know about her as does the jeweller know about the pure piece of gold. And when this news reached the person in connection with whom the allegation was made he said: Hallowed be Allah. By Allah, I have never unveiled any woman. 'A'isha said: He fell as a martyr in the cause of Allah, and there is this addition in this hadith that the people who had brought false allegation amongst them were Mistah and Hamna and Hassan. And so far as the hypocrite 'Abdullah b. Ubayy is concerned, he was one who tried his best to gather the false news and then gave them the wind. And he was in fact a fabricator and there was Hamna, daughter of Jahsh with him

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، ومحمد بن العلاء، قالا حدثنا ابو اسامة، عن هشام، بن عروة عن ابيه، عن عايشة، قالت لما ذكر من شاني الذي ذكر وما علمت به قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خطيبا فتشهد فحمد الله واثنى عليه بما هو اهله ثم قال " اما بعد اشيروا على في اناس ابنوا اهلي وايم الله ما علمت على اهلي من سوء قط وابنوهم بمن والله ما علمت عليه من سوء قط ولا دخل بيتي قط الا وانا حاضر ولا غبت في سفر الا غاب معي " . وساق الحديث بقصته وفيه ولقد دخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيتي فسال جاريتي فقالت والله ما علمت عليها عيبا الا انها كانت ترقد حتى تدخل الشاة فتاكل عجينها او قالت خميرها - شك هشام - فانتهرها بعض اصحابه فقال اصدقي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى اسقطوا لها به فقالت سبحان الله والله ما علمت عليها الا ما يعلم الصايغ على تبر الذهب الاحمر . وقد بلغ الامر ذلك الرجل الذي قيل له فقال سبحان الله والله ما كشفت عن كنف انثى قط . قالت عايشة وقتل شهيدا في سبيل الله . وفيه ايضا من الزيادة وكان الذين تكلموا به مسطح وحمنة وحسان واما المنافق عبد الله بن ابى فهو الذي كان يستوشيه ويجمعه وهو الذي تولى كبره وحمنة
