Narrated Ata: I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah in a gathering saying, We, the companions of Allah's Apostle assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without `Umra. Jabir added, The Prophet arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation). Jabir added, The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, When there remains only five days between us and the Day of `Arafat he orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to `Arafat with our male organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah's Apostle stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet and obeyed him. (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Read More..Narrated `Aisha: After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Allah's Apostle called `Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult them about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew about my innocence, but `Ali said, Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth. So the Prophet asked Barira (my salve girl), Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion? She replied, I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it. Then the Prophet stood on the pulpit and said, O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By Allah, I know nothing about my family except good. The narrator added: Then the Prophet mentioned the innocence of `Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)

I have never known anything bad about her. The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said: When `Aisha was told of the slander, she said, O Allah's Apostle! Will you allow me to go to my parents' home? He allowed her and sent a slave along with her. An Ansari man said, Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka! This is a great lie!

If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people.
