550—Al-Qasim ibn Ja‘far informed us: Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn ‘Amr informed us: Sulayman ibn al-Ash‘ath narrated to us: Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Mahri narrated to us: Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ‘Amr ibn al-Zubayr, Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, ‘Alqamah, and Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah informed me concerning the hadith of Aishah—each of them relating to me part of the report, that is, the hadith concerning the slander—who said:
“My standing in my own eyes was too insignificant for Allah to speak concerning me in a matter that would be recited.”
Muslim and Abu Dawud transmitted it. Ibn al-Mubarak likewise narrated it from Yunus ibn Yazid.
٥٥٠ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ قَالَ: ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ , عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ , أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ , وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ , وَعَلْقَمَةُ , وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ , وَكُلٌّ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ - يَعْنِي فِي حَدِيثِ الْإِفْكِ - قَالَتْ: وَلَشَأْنِي فِي نَفْسِي كَانَ أَحْقَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ فِيَّ بِأَمْرٍ يُتْلَى. أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ , وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ.
