Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Lot. He wanted to have a powerful support. If
I were to stay in prison (for a period equal to) the stay of Joseph (prison) and then the offer of freedom
came to me, then I would have accepted it." (See Hadith No. 591)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Save `Aiyyash bin Abi Rabi`a (from the unjust treatment of the
infidels). O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Send your Punishment on (the tribe of) Mudar.
O Allah! Let them suffer from years (of drought) similar to that inflicted during the life-time of
Joseph."

I asked Um Ruman, `Aisha's mother about the accusation forged against `Aisha. 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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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.'
(12.18) The Prophet (ﷺ) left and then Allah revealed the Verses (concerning the matter), and on that
`Aisha said, 'Thanks to Allah (only) and not to anybody else."
