The people praised the deceased. Umar said; It has been affirmed Paradise. Then another funeral procession passed by. The people praised the deceased. Umar said; It has been affirmed. Paradise. Then another funeral procession passed by. The people praised the deceased. Umar said; It has been affirmed Paradise. Then a third funeral procession passed by and the people talked badly of the deceased. Umar said; It has been affirmed Hell. I asked Umar; O chief of the believers! What has been affirmed? He said; I have said what the Prophet ﷺ said. He said; Allah will admit into paradise any Muslim whose good character is attested by four persons. We asked the Prophet; If there were three witnesses only? He said; Even three. We asked; If there were two only? He said; Even two. But we did not ask him about one witness. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4414
2. Narrated Aisha: The Prophet ﷺ heard a man reciting Quran in the Mosque; and he said; May Allah bestow His Mercy upon him. No doubt; he made me remember such-and such Verses of such-and-such Surat which I dropped from my memory. Narrated Aisha: The Prophet ﷺ performed the Tahajjud prayer in my house; and then he heard the voice of Abbad who was praying in the Mosque; and said; O Aisha! Is this Abbad voice? I said; Yes. He said; O Allah! Be merciful to Abbad! SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4426

We told him what he was narrating to us. He said; He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse was revealed in connection with me.

I said; The defendant will surely take a false oath caring for nothing. The Prophet ﷺ said; Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab others property; then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Then Allah revealed its confirmation. AlAshath then recited the above Divine Verse. 3.77 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4439
4. Narrated Umar Bin AlKhattab: People were sometimes judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah Apostle but now there is no longer any more new revelation. Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly; so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us; and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret; for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4412
5. Narrated Aisha: the wife of the Prophet Whenever Allah Messenger ﷺ intended to go on a journey; he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take with him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his; he drew lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me; and I proceeded with him after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried in a Howdah on the camel and dismounted while still in it. When Allah Messenger ﷺ was through with his Ghazwa and returned home; and we approached the city of Medina; Allah Messenger ﷺ ordered us to proceed at night. When the order of setting off was given; I walked till I was past the army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I returned to the camp to depart with the others and suddenly realized that my necklace over my chest was missing. So; I returned to look for it and was delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on the camel; came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel; thinking that I was in it; as; at that time; women were light in weight; and thin and lean; and did not use to eat much. So; those people did not feel the difference in the heaviness of the Howdah while lifting it; and they put it over the camel. At that time I was a young lady. They set the camel moving and proceeded on. I found my necklace after the army had gone; and came to their camp to find nobody. So; I went to the place where I used to stay; thinking that they would discover my absence and come back in my search. While in that state; I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan Bin Muattal AlSulami AlDhakwani was behind the army and reached my abode in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person; he came to me; and he used to see me before veiling. So; I got up when I heard him saying; Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun We are for Allah; and we will return to Him. He made his camel knell down. He got down from his camel; and put his leg on the front legs of the camel and then I rode and sat over it. Safwan set out walking; leading the camel by the rope till we reached the army who had halted to take rest at midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction; fell into destruction; some people accused me falsely and the leader of the false accusers was Abdullah Bin Ubai Bin Salul. After that we returned to Medina; and I became ill for one month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the false accusers. I was feeling during my ailment as if I were not receiving the usual kindness from the Prophet ﷺ which I used to receive from him when I got sick. But he would come; greet and say; How is that girl ? I did not know anything of what was going on till I recovered from my ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used to answer the call of nature; and we used not to go to answer the call of nature except from night to night and that was before we had lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habit of the old Arabs in the open country or away from houses. So. I and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled because of her long dress and on that she said; Let Mistah be ruined. I said; You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a man who took part in the battle of Badr? She said; O Hanata you there didnt you hear what they said? Then she told me the rumors of the false accusers. My sickness was aggravated; and when I returned home; Allah Messenger ﷺ came to me; and after greeting he said; How is that girl ? I requested him to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be sure of the news through them I Allah Messenger ﷺ allowed me; and I went to my parents and asked my mother; What are the people talking about? She said; O my daughter! Dont worry much about this matter. By Allah; never is there a charming woman loved by her husband who has other wives; but the women would forge false news about her. I said; Glorified be Allah! Are the people really taking of this matter? That night I kept on weeping and could not sleep till morning. In the morning Allah Messenger ﷺ called Ali Bin Abu Talib and Usama Bin Zaid when he saw the Divine Inspiration delayed; to consul them about divorcing his wife i.e. Aisha. Usama Bin Zaid said what he knew of the good reputation of his wives and added; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! Keep you wife; for; by Allah; we know nothing about her but good. Ali Bin Abu Talib said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! Allah has no imposed restrictions on you; and there are many women other than she; yet you may ask the woman-servant who will tell you the truth. On that Allah Messenger ﷺ called Buraira and said; O Burair. Did you ever see anything which roused your suspicions about her? Buraira said; No; by Allah Who has sent you with the Truth; I have never seen in her anything faulty except that she is a girl of immature age; who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough for the goats to eat. On that day Allah Messenger ﷺ ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in punishing Abdullah Bin Ubai Bin Salul. Allah Apostle said; Who will support me to punish that person Abdullah Bin Ubai Bin Salul who has hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By Allah; I know nothing about my family but good; and they have accused a person about whom I know nothing except good; and he never entered my house except in my company. Saad Bin Muadh got up and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! by Allah; I will relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the Aus; then we will chop his head off; and if he is from our brothers; the Khazraj; then order us; and we will fulfill your order. On that Saad Bin Ubada; the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident; he had been a pious man; got up; motivated by his zeal for his tribe and said; By Allah; you have told a lie; you cannot kill him; and you will never be able to kill him. On that Usaid Bin AlHadir got up and said to Saad Bin Ubada ; By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah; we will kill him; and you are a hypocrite; defending the hypocrites. On this the two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to fight each other; while Allah Messenger ﷺ was standing on the pulpit. He got down and quieted them till they became silent and he kept quiet. On that day I kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears stop; nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two nights and a day; till I thought my liver would burst from weeping. While they were sitting with me and I was weeping; an Ansari woman asked my permission to enter; and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and started weeping with me. While we were in this state; Allah Messenger ﷺ came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they forged the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him for a month. He recited Tashah-hud i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle and then said; O Aisha! I have been informed such-and-such about you; if you are innocent; then Allah will soon reveal your innocence; and if you have committed a sin; then repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you; for when a person confesses his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness; Allah accepts his repentance. When Allah Messenger ﷺ finished his speech my tears ceased completely and there remained not even a single drop of it. I requested my father to reply to Allah Messenger ﷺ on my behalf. My father said; By Allah; I do not know what to say to Allah Messenger ﷺ. I said to my mother; Talk to Allah Messenger ﷺ on my behalf. She said; By Allah; I do not know what to say to Allah Apostle. I was a young girl and did not have much knowledge of the Quran. I said. I know; by Allah; that you have listened to what people are saying and that has been planted in your minds and you have taken it as a truth. Now; if I told you that I am innocent and Allah knows that I am innocent; you would not believe me and if I confessed to you falsely that I am guilty; and Allah knows that I am innocent you would believe me. By Allah; I dont compare my situation with you except to the situation of Joseph father i.e. Jacob who said; So for me patience is most fitting against that which you assert and it is Allah Alone whose help can be sought. Then I turned to the other side of my bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah I never thought that Allah would reveal Divine Inspiration in my case; as I considered myself too inferior to be talked of in the Holy Quran. I had hoped that Allah Messenger ﷺ might have a dream in which Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah; Allah Apostle had not got up and nobody had left the house before the Divine Inspiration came to Allah Apostle. So; there overtook him the same state which used to overtake him; when he used to have; on being inspired divinely. He was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a cold wintry day. When that state of Allah Messenger ﷺ was over; he was smiling and the first word he said; Aisha! Thank Allah; for Allah has declared your innocence. My mother told me to go to Allah Messenger ﷺ. I replied; By Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah. So Allah revealed: Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you... 24.11 When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence; Abu Bakr; who used to provide for Mistah Bin Uthatha for he was his relative; said; By Allah; I will never provide Mistah with anything because of what he said about Aisha. But Allah later revealed: - And let not those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to help their kinsmen; those in need and those who left their homes in Allah Cause. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving; Most Merciful. 24.22 After that Abu Bakr said; Yes ! By Allah! I like that Allah should forgive me; and resumed helping Mistah whom he used to help before. Allah Messenger ﷺ also asked Zainab bint Jahsh i.e. the Prophet wife about me saying; What do you know and what did you see? She replied; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I have not heard or seen. By Allah; I know nothing except goodness about Aisha. Aisha further added Zainab was competing with me in her beauty and the Prophet love ; yet Allah protected her from being malicious ; for she had piety. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4432
6. Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: A Jew from Hira asked me which one of the two periods Mousa i.e. Prophet Moses completed. I said; I dont know; but wait till I see the most learned Arab and inquire him about it. So; I went to Ibn Abbas and asked him. He replied; Moses completed the longer and better period. Ibn Abbas added; No doubt; an apostle of Allah always does what he says. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4452

Usama said; Keep your wife; as we know nothing about her except good. Buraira said; I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a young girl who sleeps; neglecting her family dough which the domestic goats come to eat i.e. she was too simpleminded to deceive her husband. Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Who can help me to take revenge over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my family? By Allah; I have not known about my family-anything except good; and they mentioned i.e. accused a man about whom I did not know anything except good. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4408
5. Narrated Abdullah: Allah Messenger ﷺ said; If somebody takes a false oath in order to get the property of a Muslim unjustly by that oath; then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. AlAshath informed me; By Allah! This was said regarding me. There was a dispute about a piece of land between me and a man from the Jews who denied my right. I took him to the Prophet. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked me; Do you have an evidence? I replied in the negative. He said to the Jew; Take an oath. I said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! He will surely take an oath and take my property unjustly. So; Allah revealed: Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah covenant and their oaths... 3.77 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4437
6. Narrated Abu Wail: Abdullah bin Masud said; Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab some property unjustly ; Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Allah confirmed that through His Divine Revelation: Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah covenant and their oaths... they will have a painful punishment. 3.77 AlAshath Bin Qais came to us and asked; What is Abu Abdulrahman i.e. Abdullah telling you? We told him what he was narrating to us. He said; He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse was revealed in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another man about something and the case was filed before Allah Messenger ﷺ who said; Produce your two witnesses or else the defendant is to take an oath. I said; The defendant will surely take a false oath caring for nothing. The Prophet ﷺ said; Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab others property; then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Then Allah revealed its confirmation. AlAshath then recited the above Divine Verse. 3.77 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4439
7. Narrated AlNuman Bin Bashir: The Prophet ﷺ said; The example of the person abiding by Allah orders and limits or the one who abides by the limits and regulations prescribed by Allah in comparison to the one who do wrong and violate Allah limits and orders is like the example of people drawing lots for seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part while the others in the lower part ; those in the; lower part have to pass by those in the upper one to get water; and that troubled the latter. One of them i.e. the people in the lower part took an ax and started making a hole in the bottom of the boat. The people of the upper part came and asked him; saying ; What is wrong with you? He replied; You have been troubled much by my coming up to you ; and I have to get water. Now if they prevent him from doing that they will save him and themselves; but if they leave him to do what he wants ; they will destroy him and themselves. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4454
8. Narrated Aisha: Whenever Allah Messenger ﷺ intended to go on a journey; he used to draw lots among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the lot fell. He also used to fix for everyone of his wives a day and a night; but Sauda bint Zama gave her day and night to Aisha; the wife of the Prophet ﷺ intending thereby to please Allah Messenger ﷺ. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4456
9. Narrated AlNuman Bin Bashir: My mother asked my father to present me a gift from his property; and he gave it to me after some hesitation. My mother said that she would not be satisfied unless the Prophet ﷺ was made a witness to it. I being a young boy; my father held me by the hand and took me to the Prophet ﷺ. He said to the Prophet; His mother; bint Rawaha; requested me to give this boy a gift. The Prophet ﷺ said; Do you have other sons besides him? He said; Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said; Do not make me a witness for injustice. Narrated AlShubi that the Prophet ﷺ said; I will not become a witness for injustice. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4421
