Sahih al-Bukhari 2637 (Book 52, Hadith 1) #2523
False Accusations Against Aisha

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the story of Aisha and how she was falsely accused. It also talks about how Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) consulted with Ali and Usama to decide whether or not to divorce her. In the end, Usama advised him to keep his wife as they knew nothing but good about her.

Narrated 'Urwa bin Al-Musaiyab Alqama bin Waqqas and Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah: About the story of 'Aisha and their narrations were similar attesting each other, when the liars said what they invented about 'Aisha, and the Divine Inspiration was delayed, Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent for 'Ali and Usama to consult them in divorcing his wife (ie 'Aisha). Usama said, "Keep your wife, as we know nothing about her except good". Barirah said, "I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family's dough which the domestic goats come to eat (ie she was too simpleminded to deceive her husband)". Allah's 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 (ie accused) a man about whom I did not know anything except good".
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ،‏.‏ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، وَابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ، عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ وَبَعْضُ حَدِيثِهِمْ يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضًا، حِينَ قَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُ الإِفْكِ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلِيًّا وَأُسَامَةَ حِينَ اسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْىُ يَسْتَأْمِرُهُمَا فِي فِرَاقِ أَهْلِهِ، فَأَمَّا أُسَامَةُ فَقَالَ أَهْلُكَ وَلاَ نَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا‏.‏ وَقَالَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْرًا أَغْمِصُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَنَّهَا جَارِيَةٌ حَدِيثَةُ السِّنِّ تَنَامُ عَنْ عَجِينِ أَهْلِهَا، فَتَأْتِي الدَّاجِنُ فَتَأْكُلُهُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ مَنْ يَعْذِرُنَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَلَغَنِي أَذَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي إِلاَّ خَيْرًا، وَلَقَدْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلاً مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the story of Aisha, who was falsely accused by liars. When this happened, Allah's Messenger consulted with Ali and Usama on whether or not he should divorce her. Usama advised him to keep his wife as they knew nothing but good about her. Barirah then said that she could only be accused of being too simpleminded to deceive her husband by neglecting their family's dough which the domestic goats came to eat. Allah's Messenger then asked who could help him take revenge against those who harmed him by defaming his family, as he only knew good things about them. This hadith teaches us that we should always stand up for what is right and seek justice when someone has wronged us in any way, even if it means seeking revenge against them for their actions. We should also remember that false accusations can have serious consequences on a person’s reputation and life, so we must be careful before making any accusations against someone else without proof or evidence first.
