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 Apostle 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 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. Against that which you assert, it is Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought.'

Read More..Narrated `Urwa: I asked `Aisha the wife of the Prophet about the meaning of the following Verse: -- (Respite will be granted) 'Until when the apostles give up hope (of their people) and thought that they were denied (by their people)............... (12.110) `Aisha replied, Really, their nations did not believe them. I said, By Allah! They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspecting. `Aisha said, O 'Uraiya (i.e. `Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it. I said, May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the apostles thought that Allah did not help them? Aisha said, Allah forbid! (Impossible) The Apostles did not suspect their Lord of such a thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Apostles' followers who had faith in their Lord and believed in their apostles and their period of trials was long and Allah's Help was delayed till the apostles gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation and suspected that even their followers were shaken in their belief, Allah's Help then came to them.
